Summary Cross-disciplinary research between ecologists and statisticians has considerable potential for significant new advances, capitalising on recent advances in technology for collecting and analysing data. We introduce a Special Feature of five papers showcasing interdisciplinary collaboration, centred around problems estimating biodiversity and how it changes over space and time. Each paper arose around the Eco-Stats ‘15 conference at UNSW Sydney, held in December 2015, and more papers inspired by this conference are in preparation. This highlights the potential of interdisciplinary research, and of meetings designed to bring together researchers across disciplines, as a vehicle for scientific advances.
