New Editor | Marco Túlio Pacheco Coelho, subject editor for Ecography
We welcome Marco Túlio Pacheco Coelho to Ecography!
About our new subject editor:
I am an ecologist and evolutionary biologist based at the University of Basel, Switzerland. My research asks how broad patterns of biodiversity emerge across space, time, and different parts of the tree of life. To find the drivers of these large-scale patterns, I work with a range of study systems, from terrestrial vertebrates to human cultural and linguistic diversity. I combine data-driven statistical analyses with process-based models, including agent- and individual-based approaches, to link simple rules and mechanisms to the complex patterns we observe in nature. In parallel with this work, I am interested in the philosophy of science in ecology: why we prefer simple models (and when we do not), how we justify our choices, and how we make progress when different models can explain the same natural phenomena.
Ecography—who are we?
ECOGRAPHY: A Journal of Space and Time in Ecology is an Open Access journal owned by the Nordic Society Oikos.
Our journal strives to understand ecological or biodiversity patterns through space and time. We encourage papers to advance the field of macroecology and biogeography through the development and testing of theory or modern methodology (remote sensing, molecular techniques, AI) or by proposing new tools for analysis or interpretation of ecological phenomena. There are no biases with regard to taxon, biome, or biogeographical area.

Ecography offers an annual E4 Award for early-career researchers
We value ethical standards in science (EDI, Open Access, waivers, accessible data and code, CRediT)

The Nordic Society Oikos engages the global scientific community through five international journals…
…and supports the national ecological societies of the five Nordic countries. Anyone worldwide can join the Nordic Society Oikos.
NSO is a home for ecologists, a nexus for knowledge, and a guiding light for ecology worldwide. We are an active network of ecologists in the Nordic region and around the globe.
Why join NSO? Membership benefits include:
Connections across a global community of ecologists and five national societies
NSO newsletters with member-only updates about Nordic ecology and society activities
Ongoing opportunities for promotion on NSO’s digital platforms and social media channels
Discounted registration for NSO’s biennial conference
Eligibility to apply for NSO Grants
Each member receives additional benefits from one of our five national societies:
When you join NSO, you also become a member of one of our national societies. Which one? That’s up to you! Each national society provides its own benefits, including discounts to national conferences. Learn more about us at nordicsocietyoikos.org.
