Nice to see our work featured in The Guardian — showing that sperm quality can decline the longer it is stored. @krishsanghvi11.bsky.social @itchyshin.bsky.social

Study paper from the researchers @krishsanghvi11.bsky.social *, @rmdean.bsky.social*, @itchyshin.bsky.social, Klaus Reinhardt, @iremsepil.bsky.social and Regina Vega-Trejo is published in royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article... 3/3

I'm excited to announce that the @sortee.bsky.social Guidelines for Data and Code Quality Control in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are now published in Peer Community Journal peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10....

We are looking for a postdoc (up to five years) interested in climate-driven plant extinctions! Working with @manuelsteinbauer.bsky.social and me and a large team on various aspects of Earth system sciences. More information here: fau-earth-system-science.github.io

🧵 New paper out today in @peercommunityin.bsky.social Journal! @joelpick.bsky.social et al. introduce the first standardised guidelines for data & code quality control in #ecology & #evolutionarybiology, on behalf of @sortee.bsky.social 🔓 doi.org/10.24072/pcj... #OpenScience #EEB [1/5]

Differences between M & F are pervasive, but we often focus on #SexDifferences in the mean. @pietropollo.bsky.social @danielwanoble.bsky.social @itchyshin.bsky.social &co present #stats tools that allow comparison of #skewness, #kurtosis & correlations b'n groups @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4093nJs

So excited to announce my most recent project is now in press! Our meta-analysis looks at the effects of exogenous #estrogen, #progesterone, and #testosterone in pre-clinical models for 3 subtypes of #stroke: AIS, ICH, and SAH. Catch it at Biology of Sex Differences here: doi.org/10.1186/s132...

Does human disturbance disrupt predator-prey temporal niche partitioning? Today in @natcomms.nature.com we show that while there is no overall effect, the larger species of the dyad "loses" the temporal response race to humans. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Continuing our series on difficult comparative models - and how to address them properly - we’re happy to showcase another study, this time in @jevbio.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jeb/advance-... We will guide you through a series of increasingly complex models, from binary, through ordered to

We have an updated version of this preprint, available at: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v... Fingers crossed the formal, final version will be out soon. We think this highlights a major issue in how we study behavior (& more). Thank you @sekharma.bsky.social & @itchyshin.bsky.social! #evolution

Our recent paper looks at location-scale interfaces in comparative data. But predicting variance in variance extends much further - if you still have not have a look here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... (another recent paper in @globalchangebio.bsky.social). We show how extending the idea

By extending the comparative model we can assay the evolutionary signal in evolvability itself and test a number of biologically interesting trait configurations (codivergence, contra-divergence, ceiling effects, phenotypic integrations and more!)

The models are notably more complex but fittable with modern Bayesian GLMM routines. Think of them as looking at mean and scale (usually variance) evolution along the tree, here in an example of two concurrent Brownian Motion dynamics driving diversification of both variance and means.

Our newest paper is out in Methods in Ecol Evol @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social :) amazing team effort - we show that the traditional way of analyzing comparative data lacks finesse. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/oidcS... w/ @itchyshin.bsky.social Yefeng Yang, Losia Lagisz & Ayumi Mizuno

Have you always thought about running simulations to make sure your models work the way you want them to? The new squidSim can help! I'm very impressed with how @joelpick.bsky.social led this project and with the amazing final result!

Clearly I'm grumpy about the state of research in the field atm, particularly how power analyses are performative and hypothesis testing is butchered... so resharing this chat I had with @runbabyo.bsky.social et al. where we talk about these topics www.youtube.com/live/b0rXmtx...

Please consider applying to our open faculty position call that includes Ecology! apply.interfolio.com/172075

Interested in simulating the kind of data that you might commonly find in evolutionary and ecological studies? Then we have the R package for you - squidSim!! Check our new preprint: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...
