New paper on adaptive sampling for ecological monitoring published in @oikosjournal.bsky.social nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... Premise is to aim for proportional allocation across strata. Success depends on choice of stratifying variables. Oli Pescott’s brainchild

Science-integrity project will root out bad medical papers ‘and tell everyone’ Thrilled to announce this new $900,000 project headed by @jamesheathers.bsky.social

Our new paper combines wildlife surveillance data and spatial risk modelling to map suitability for TBEV in GB. We identified key drivers linked to TBEV exposure in deer and produced risk maps, which can guide future surveillance and interventions. www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2...

DAGs are nice way to think about sample selection biases, Ecology edition. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

It is only by understanding what causes sampling bias that we can correct it... Check out our new Blog post by @robboyd.bsky.social here! 👇 https://buff.ly/3PVHA30

This paper just out using data from the UKBMS to demonstrate different ways to think about bias in datasets.

📖Published📖 Our new research article demonstrates how you might combine expert knowledge with causal diagrams and superpopulation models to mitigate geographic biases in biodiversity monitoring data 🌎 🧪 Read it here 👇 https://buff.ly/3C2ZKws

What have causal diagrams got to do with sampling bias? Find out here! Great team @richardfoxbc.bsky.social @davidroybrc.bsky.social + oli Pescott, Colin harrower, Emily Dennis, Ian middlebrook and Marc Botham. @ukceh.bsky.social @ukbms.bsky.social
