The paper quantifies population resistance to climatic variability in spotted lanternfly, showing diapausing populations are more resistant to temperature extremes, which affects establishment potential in California.

The paper introduces the lydemapr R package to track and visualize the spread of the invasive Spotted Lanternfly in the U.S. using spatiotemporal data.

The paper develops a statistical framework using trait and abundance data to predict and quantify coexistence outcomes between resident and invading species, applying it to geckos on Curacao.

The paper examines how introduced species have accelerated island saturation, linearizing species-area relationships in the Caribbean.

This paper predicts host associations of the spotted lanternfly across the USA using phylogenetic imputation based on known host associations and phylogenetic signal.

The paper develops general models to classify non-random extinction patterns in species and applies them to Caribbean lizards, finding a shift from directional to stabilizing extinction due to human impacts.

This study identifies multiscale habitat associations for oviposition in the spotted lanternfly, highlighting scale-dependent management strategies for control.

The paper examines how human impact on islands affects the introduction and extinction status of native reptiles, finding that introduced and extinction-prone species occupy opposite ends of trait continua.

The paper assesses the global invasion risk of the spotted lanternfly planthopper to disrupt the wine market by analyzing its spread and trade connections.

The paper introduces the R package phyr for phylogenetic species-distribution modelling in ecological communities, providing tools to fit various models and analyze community composition with phylogenetic relationships.

This paper evaluates 3D printing's benefits and limitations for ecological research, showing cost savings and sustainability with recycled materials but noting challenges in resource availability and software proficiency.
