SummaryCross‐disciplinary research between ecologists and statisticians has led to significant advances in many different aspects of biodiversity modelling – including species distribution modelling, multivariate analysis and the measurement of diversity. We introduce a Special Feature of seven papers showcasing recent interdisciplinary collaboration between ecologists and statisticians. Each paper arose as an outcome of an Eco‐Stats meeting held at UNSW Australia during July 2013. The meeting and this Special Feature highlight the considerable potential from interdisciplinary collaboration between ecologists and statisticians.
