Disentangling good from bad practices in the selection of spatial or phylogenetic eigenvectors
Eigenvector mapping techniques are widely used by ecologists and evolutionary biologists
to describe and control for spatial and/or phylogenetic patterns in their data. The selection of …

Soil nutrients and dispersal limitation shape compositional variation in secondary tropical forests across multiple scales
Soil resource partitioning and dispersal limitation have been shown to shape the tree
community structure of mature tropical forests, but are poorly studied in the context of forest …
