Humans have reshaped species distributions across earth, mixing and homogenizing biota from distant areas. We merge evolutionary, ecological and biogeographic theory with economics to explain and predict present-day biogeographic and macroecological patterns. Our approach is to use mathematical models, simulations, and big data in order to synthesize across multiple systems and elucidate general patterns.
