Socioeconomics and biogeography jointly drive geographic biases in our knowledge of plant traits: a global assessment of the Raunkiærian shortfall in plants

Published in bioRxiv, 2022

In this preprint, we examine global biases in trait data and the factors that drive them (spoiler alert: socioeconomics and biogeography)

Both source‐and recipient‐range phylogenetic community structure can predict the outcome of avian introductions

Published in Ecography, 2022

In this paper we test our recently proposed framework for predicting introduction success using both source and recipient region phylogenetic patterns.

On estimating the shape and dynamics of phenotypic distributions in ecology and evolution

Published in Authorea, 2021

We show how bootstrapping can be used to estimate trait distributions, and that it outperforms community weighted approaches
