Check out our new preprint, "Analyzing animal movement using deep learning" where we show that #DNN can replace step selection functions to adjust for nonlinearity, complex interactions, and inter-individual variability that can be extracted by #explainableAI with p-values: arxiv.org/pdf/2603.24009

In Nature, Delavaux et al., 2024 suggest that species richness on oceanic islands is reduced by mutualism rates on the mainland. In arxiv.org/abs/2411.15105, @maximilianpichler.bsky.social and I had another look at this question and conclude that this effect is likely a statistical artefact.

Is there a robust effect of mainland mutualism rates on species richness of oceanic islands?
In island biogeography, it is widely accepted that species richness on island depends on the area and isolation of the island as well as the species pool on the mainland. Delavaux et al. (2024) sugges...
