      Fungi are among the most diverse and ecologically important kingdoms in life. However, the distributional ranges of fungi remain largely unknown as do the ecological mechanisms that shape their distributions1,2. To provide ...

      Novel methods for sampling and characterizing biodiversity hold great promise for re-evaluating patterns of life across the planet. The sampling of airborne spores with a cyclone sampler, and the sequencing of their DNA, ...
    • Recommendations for quantitative uncertainty consideration in ecology and evolution 

      Simmonds, Emily Grace; Adjei, Kwaku Peprah; Cretois, Benjamin; Dickel, Lisa; González-Gil, Ricardo; Laverick, Jack H; Mandeville, Caitlin Marie; Mandeville, Elizabeth G; Ovaskainen, Otso Tapio; Sicacha-Parada, Jorge; Skarstein, Emma Sofie; O'Hara, Robert Brian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Ecological and evolutionary studies are currently failing to achieve complete and consistent reporting of model-related uncertainty. We identify three key barriers – a focus on parameter-related uncertainty, obscure ...
    • Species distributions models may predict accurately future distributions but poorly how distributions change: A critical perspective on model validation 

      Piirainen, Sirke; Lehikoinen, Aleksi; Husby, Magne; Kålås, John Atle; Lindström, Åke; Ovaskainen, Otso Tapio (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Aim: Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to make predictions on how species distributions may change as a response to climatic change. To assess the reli-ability of those predictions, they need to be critically ...
