Hi there 👋
I am Gabriel Nakamura 👋, a Brazilian ecologist working on the development of quantitative methods at the interface of macroevolution, macroecology, and biogeography. My most recent projects involve:
-
Developing approaches to capture the imprints of interspecific competition shaping local assemblages through deep time using the fossil record
-
Understanding the role of diversification in shaping present-day assemblages
-
Understanding the evolutionary origins of species’ endemic distributions
-
Developing interactive apps to support teaching in Ecology and Evolution
Please check out my website 🏠 https://gabrielnakamura.netlify.app/ for more info.
Here, you will find repositories for published papers, ongoing projects, and some R packages.
- FishPhyloMaker: An R package to build fish phylogenies based on taxonomic hierarchy Publication 🐟
- Herodotools: R package dedicated with metrics and methods for Historical Biogeography and Macroevolution Publication 🌎
- McFly: Simulation framework to estimate the influence of niche adaptation rate and dispersal limitation on species diversity distribution across environmental gradients Publication 🚘
- Dimensionality: Dimensionality metrics for metacommunities Publication
