I run the Macroecology Lab: https://macroecolab.github.io/
We model species' distributions and biodiversity patterns and make predictions over space and time.

Interested in the biogeography of lizards?🦎
We studied the historical biogeography of Sceloporus lizards and the link between their dispersal and climatic niches 🌎🌦️ @fabrovillalobos.bsky.social @ndimhypervol.bsky.social @biojlinnsoc.bsky.social

So happy for this one to finally come out: I wrote a book chapter on uncertainty in ecological models with Alke Voskamp, Lukas Baumbach, and Jamie Kass (@ndimhypervol.bsky.social) for a massive new open access book on uncertainty in climate change research.

Last week we had a great kickoff meeting for a grant to build a new marine science research center at @TohokuUniPR with @JAMSTEC_PR~
My lab will be participating in <biodiversity modeling>!
I joined the panel disc. about long-term monitoring, stability, and societal impacts.
