About Us

The Macroecology Lab is a space for scientific research in theoretical ecology, biogeography and paleobiology. We simulate ecological and evolutionary processes at large spatial and temporal scales to understand patterns of biodiversity over time and space.

RESEARCH LINES

Geographical ecology: investigates ecological patterns and processes at large spatial and temporal scales to understand the origin and what maintain the current biodiversity.

Evolutionary Macroecology: Investigates evolutionary patterns at large spatial and temporal scales and the effects of extinction and speciation on biodiversity.

Conservation biogeography: intends to assess the impact of global climate change and land use on biodiversity, and the effect of these anthropogenic changes on the risk of species extinction on large temporal and spatial scales.

Theoretical ecology: aims analyze and synthetize ecological evidences on ecological processes, with special emphasis on the theoretical and methodological development of niche theory, including its operationalization (e.g., ecological niche models).
