Best practices for moving from correlation to causation in ecological research - Nature Communications Different scientific traditions offer seemingly disparate approaches to inferring causal relationships in ecological systems. This Perspective unifies the causal assumptions and methods from...

Excited to share our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com We synthesize causal discovery & inference approaches across traditions (regression adjustment, quasi-expts, SEMs, Granger causality, convergent cross-mapping, and more) into a unified workflow for ecologists. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Back in 2023, members of my lab came together to write a review on recent applications of machine learning in biological research. I'm excited to share that the paper is now out in BMC Biology! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

#Evol2025 I’ll be talking about the self-hosted open-source software stack my lab uses for collaboration today @ 5:15 (Athena F). Come check out how we replace or complement tools from Google/Microsoft/Slack—and wrap up the conference with a (hopefully) different kind of talk. Come chat with us :)

Excited to be talking about where rarity comes from and how it persists through evolutionary time tomorrow at #Evol2025! Swing by the Evolutionary Ecology IV session at 4:45 PM to hear more about the evolution of multidimensional rarity in plants 🌱
