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

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.

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)
