2024 December End of the year Update - EcoCommons reached a major milestone, published a manuscript, and launched EcoCommons Notebooks to promote open-source environmental modelling and collaboration.


2025 January - EcoCommons showcased its open-source EcoCommons Notebooks at AMEG (Applied Mathematical Ecology Group) Symposium and introduced Hacky Hour for hands-on support with platform tools.


2025 February - EcoCommons is recruiting for a new role and calls for feedback to expand their Data Catalogue. They also released a notebook on handling imbalanced species data for better SDM accuracy.


2025 March - EcoCommons brings new tools and insights — explore running notebooks via TERN's Virtual CoESRA, learn to calculate EOO (Extent of Occurrence) and AOO (Area of Occupancy) for species like the wombat, and enjoy new features like ZIP file uploads and an upcoming Getting Started seminar.


2025 April - EcoCommons kicks off April with a new support guide on best SDM practices and a hands-on ICCB 2025 workshop announcement. Don’t miss the updated imbalanced data notebook and May’s Hacky Hour for live modelling support.


2025 May - EcoCommons featured at ResBaz QLD with workshops on SDMs and biodiversity indices. New Random Forest vs GLM notebook released, plus Hacky Hour support and ICCB highlights.


2025 June - The spocc notebook lets users pull global species data with ease. June Hacky Hour returned with live Q&A, alongside technical upgrades and improved workflows.


2025 July - A new notebook on Species Richness and Shannon Diversity launched. EcoCommons presented globally at eLTER and Posit conferences, and welcomed 30+ new users through events.


2025 August - EcoCommons hosted August Hacky Hour, shared technical updates, and participated in National Science Week at QUT, while highlighting upcoming biodiversity events and research milestones. 


2025 September - EcoCommons presented at Posit Conference 2025, announced a new occupancy modelling notebook (in collaboration with WildObs and ALA), launched a user survey, and hosted September Hacky Hour alongside new support resources.


2025 October - EcoCommons delivered talks at International Data Week and eResearch Australasia 2025, released a conceptual Single-Species Single-Season Occupancy notebook (with R unmarked examples), and continued Hacky Hour live support.


2025 November - EcoCommons collaborated with Google Research on AI-powered species distribution modelling (including Greater Glider range maps via UN Biodiversity Lab), released new Eastern Bristlebird habitat maps with BirdLife Australia, presented at ESA 2025, and supported AI and biodiversity infrastructure initiatives.


2025 December - EcoCommons concluded the year with community growth, new collaborations, custom modelling workflows, and platform enhancements before the QCIF end-of-year break


2026 Jan -EcoCommons opened 2026 with new research highlights in ecological modelling (fractional models, MaxEnt projections), announced QUT Centre for Data Science talks on digital infrastructure and AI for conservation, and outlined upcoming global biodiversity observances.
