When your statistical model "fits the data well" ...

I thought exactly the same many, many times. Reviewers entirely ignore the methodological part of the paper and take its results at face value, but they will debate the "framing" of it in every little detail.

We tend to think that we understand how urbanization impacts biodiversity, but our knowledge is based almost solely on research from temperate systems. This creates strong biases. Wonderful new work by ‪@elliediamant.bsky.social‬ in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Great example of #WildlifeRestoration, featuring #WiRELab postdoc @m-mclellan.bsky.social and alumni Mateen Hessami in partnership with @biodivpathways.bsky.social and many more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_sz...

NEW PAPER: looking into the erosion of southern mountain caribou migrations. Over 35 years, migration distances shrank 15-25%, and elevational migrations are collapsing. Habitat loss, not weather, likely the main culprit. A major conservation challenge ahead. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Canadians in solidarity with Stand Up for Science. I signed. The assault on science in Canada under the conservative Harper regime was not as extreme as the MAGA one, but came from the same desire to prevent scientists from speaking truth to power. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Canada wants primary and secondary teachers!!

I am excited to announce that @neeltjeboogert.bsky.social and I are co-editing a special collection in the journal Animal Cognition on "Cognition in the Wild". Submissions are due by June 15. We are excited to see the amazing work you have been doing! link.springer.com/collections/...

Interesting work by van der Meersch et al. out in Ecology Letters, nicely illustrating that process-based models are more robust than correlative models for predicting species distributions under novel climatic conditions doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.
