Designing causal mediation analyses to quantify intermediary processes in ecology
Correia H, Dee L, Ferraro P
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40059404
Ecologists seek to understand the intermediary ecological processes through which changes in one attribute in a system affect other attributes. A causal understanding of mediating processes is important for testing...

Business-as-usual trends will largely miss 2030 global conservation targets
Palomo I, Gonzalez-Garcia A, Ferraro P, Muradian R, Pascual U, Arboledas M, et al.
Ambio . 2024 Nov; 54(2):212-224. PMID: 39508928
To address climate change and global biodiversity loss, the world must hit three important international conservation targets by 2030: protect 30% of terrestrial and marine areas, halt and reverse forest...

Correction: Emerging Evidence on the Effectiveness of Tropical Forest Conservation
Borner J, Baylis K, Corbera E, Ezzine-de-Blas D, Ferraro P, Honey-Roses J, et al.
PLoS One . 2024 Jul; 19(7):e0308020. PMID: 39052604

Unraveling complex causal processes that affect sustainability requires more integration between empirical and modeling approaches
Schluter M, Brelsford C, Ferraro P, Orach K, Qiu M, Smith M
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2023 Oct; 120(41):e2215676120. PMID: 37782803
Scientists seek to understand the causal processes that generate sustainability problems and determine effective solutions. Yet, causal inquiry in nature-society systems is hampered by conceptual and methodological challenges that arise...

Create a culture of experiments in environmental programs
Ferraro P, Cherry T, Shogren J, Vossler C, Cason T, Flint H, et al.
Science . 2023 Aug; 381(6659):735-737. PMID: 37590363
Organizations need a better "learning by doing" approach.

Empirical evidence of widespread exaggeration bias and selective reporting in ecology
Kimmel K, Avolio M, Ferraro P
Nat Ecol Evol . 2023 Aug; 7(9):1525-1536. PMID: 37537387
In many scientific disciplines, common research practices have led to unreliable and exaggerated evidence about scientific phenomena. Here we describe some of these practices and quantify their pervasiveness in recent...

Clarifying the effect of biodiversity on productivity in natural ecosystems with longitudinal data and methods for causal inference
Dee L, Ferraro P, Severen C, Kimmel K, Borer E, Byrnes J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2023 May; 14(1):2607. PMID: 37147282
Causal effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functions can be estimated using experimental or observational designs - designs that pose a tradeoff between drawing credible causal inferences from correlations and drawing...
