Major research collaborations and initiatives
Collaborations & Initiatives
We actively collaborate with local and international initiatives. These multi-team collaborations provide opportunities for field work, synthesis, and training for postdocs, graduate students, undergraduates, and research partners.
Current collaborative themes include:
- Scaling in biology and allometry
- Forecasting the fate of biodiversity and the biosphere
- Trait-based ecology for predictive biodiversity science
- Biodiversity informatics and open science workflows
- Macroecology of biodiversity gradients
- Long-term monitoring across tropical, temperate, and alpine systems
SPARC: Spatial Priorities for Species & Climate
SPARC is a collaboration involving Conservation International and international university partners to identify conservation priorities under current and future climates. The objective is to reduce extinction risk while sustaining ecosystem services.
Functional Biodiversity & Synthesis Networks
Our lab collaborates across BIEN, OpenTraits, and partner groups to integrate taxonomy, occurrences, traits, and environmental layers for reproducible biodiversity forecasting.
Team Science & Field Campaigns
Collaborative field campaigns include tropical forest dynamics plots, elevational transects, and training-centered field programs that pair long-term monitoring with quantitative synthesis.
