Check out our new preprint on multivariate spatial models for small area estimation of species-specific forest parameters. We apply our modeling framework to estimate species-level biomass for the 20 most common tree species across the Southern US, which resulted in large precision improvements relative to classical approaches.

A new paper led by Casey Youngflesh at Clemson University was recently published in Ecology Letters on the role of environmental variation in shaping life history of birds across the globe.

A new paper led by Ken Kellner at Michigan State University was recently published in Ecology. We assessed the analytic reproducibility of nearly 500 papers from 2018-2022, finding that only 7% of papers had R code that ran without any errors.

A fun new paper led by Gabriela Quinlan at Penn State University was just published in Science of the Total Environment. Using a dataset from Maryland and joint species distribution models implemented in spAbundance, we provide the largest scale, most phylogenetically resolved assessment of non-native honey bee density effects on wild bee abundance to date.

I am beyond excited to announce that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources at North Carolina State University in Fall 2024!
