Its never too late – Risk of Bias in ecology and evolutionary biology
Post provided by Antica Čulina Hi, I am Antica. I work as a senior researcher at the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Croatia. This is a story about how something that bugged me 15 years ago was finally…

As another alternative to the standard forest plot for visualizing many effect size estimates in a meta-analysis, one can use 'orchard plots' (Nakagawa et al., 2021). Example code to create such figures can be found here: www.metafor-project.org/doku.php/plo... #MetaAnalysis #RStats
An orchard plot showing many effect size estimates clustered by a categorical moderator variable, with pooled estimates (with 95% CIs/PIs) within subgroups superimposed.

What is the replication crisis? Is it a problem in Ecology and Evolution? Can journals help us fight it? I'll be answering all these questions and more later this week in a free and open @sortee.bsky.social webinar. Come along to find out more!!

This looks like an amazing dataset, exploring an important shift in European plant communities. Can we please move on from analysing ad-hoc community summaries from multi-species data? The statistical problems run so much deeper than people appreciate.

Please contact me if you want to be nominated for a postdoc via this scheme - you need to live outside of Canada and I need to do so by 9 Feb (and need to start by March 2027) - www.ualberta.ca/en/graduate-... (I think you do need to have a competitive CV etc) Please email me if you are interested

The second paper of my PhD came out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social: We assessed approaches for meta-analyses with dependent effect sizes and sampling errors 🔍 doi.org/10.1111/2041... This is especially relevant for ecologists and evolutionary biologists planning to conduct a meta-analysis.

Modelling approaches for meta‐analyses with dependent effect sizes in ecology and evolution: A simulation study
In ecology and evolution, meta-analysis is an important tool to synthesise findings across separate studies and identify sources of heterogeneity. However, ecological and evolutionary data often e...

Do you get confused when reading meta-analyses? Our new paper offers a practical guide to help researchers understand, interpret, and use them properly. We also show that the insights meta-analyses provide are often overlooked by those who cite them.

Simulation studies are widely used, but have historically lacked clear guidance around preregistration. In response to this gap, a team of researchers have developed a new template for preregistering simulation studies, now available on OSF. 🚀 Read our Q&A: www.cos.io/blog/intr...

Introducing the Simulation Studies Preregistration Template: Q&A with Björn S. Siepe, František Bartoš, and Samuel Pawel
Initially submitted through COS’s open call for community-designed preregistration templates, the Simulation Studies Template is now part of the expanding collection of preregistration resources available on the OSF.

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :( So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/
