Led by Stefan Fallert, our metabolismus-based metapopulation range for simulating species range dynamics is online at MEE. It is a framework in which you can build your own model structure or use our functions, including biotic interactions: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

In this game, the player needs to balance nature conservation with socioeconomic pressures. A great collaboration with the games engineers led by my former student Daniel Vedder!

Without forward-looking models, biodiversity policy risks missing the road to recovery.
Our new PNAS article calls for predictive tools and a World Biodiversity Research Programme to guide global action.

Biodiversity policy needs to look forward, not just backward. 🌍
Our new PNAS piece argues that predictive models - like those used in climate science - are key to guiding effective conservation decisions.

Many of you, like me, are exasperated that we dither, bicker, and plod thru our daily lives rather than getting on with planning a coherent and pragmatic future of civilizational shift. This will be one of what I hope will be many important forums. I'm not organizing it! srm360.org/event/global...

How reliable are model-based blacklists of invasive plant species if occurrence & environmental data are limited & under different model choices? New paper by PhD researcher Valén Holle @jappliedecology.bsky.social #SDM #invasive #plants #Pacific besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Uncertainty in blacklisting potential Pacific plant invaders using species distribution models
SDMs can provide valuable support for planning the preventive management of alien species. However, our findings show that blacklist outcomes are highly sensitive to modelling decisions. While ensemb....
