Major research collaborations and initiatives
Collaborations and 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 in Response to Climate Change
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 and 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 and 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.
