Macroecology

I have been part of many groups focused on integrating disparate data sets in order to address macroscale questions of ecology. Transboundary refers to the large scales of space and time that we often transcent, in order to get at bigger questions. We have investigated patterns of species invasion, community change over time, and fish responses to a warming environment, among other issues.
