Is it just me or anyone else is also having a hard time trying to download pdfs from @asn-amnat.bsky.social website lately? This screen just doesn't go away...

9/ Key takeaway: antipredator behavior in frogs is a two-stage decision. The STRATEGIC component (freeze vs. flee) is phylogenetically conserved, size-dependent, and individually repeatable. The TACTICAL component (jump distance) is context-dependent and labile.

8/ We modeled this with a Bayesian phylogenetic hurdle log-normal model in brms — jointly estimating strategy choice + locomotor intensity while accounting for phylogeny, individual identity, and repeated measures. Full reproducible code on Zenodo.

7/ Individual frogs are consistent in their strategy: repeatability of immobility tendency was R = 0.30 [0.12, 0.49]. But jump distance? R = 0.07 [0.00, 0.19]. You reliably know WHO will freeze, but not HOW FAR the fleers will go.

6/ Phylogenetic signal was STRONG for immobility (λ = 0.88) but WEAK for jump distance (λ = 0.41). Closely related species inherit similar strategies, but how far they jump when fleeing is evolutionarily labile. The two components evolve independently.

5/ Open arenas increased jump distance by ~31% vs. sheltered ones. Frogs seem to calibrate escape effort to habitat structure: when there's nowhere to hide, jump farther. This is the first multi-species phylogenetic estimate of the arena effect.

4/ Arboreal species were 3× more likely to jump than terrestrial ones. Makes sense — if you live in trees, you're built to jump. But when terrestrial species DID jump, they jumped just as far. Microhabitat shapes the threshold, not the motor output.

3/ Big frogs freeze. Small frogs flee. Body size was the strongest predictor of strategy choice, but had NO effect on jump distance. A large Dermatonotus muelleri never jumped once in 18 trials. Size shapes WHAT you do, not HOW WELL you do it.

2/ We exposed 89 frogs to live snake stimuli in three arena types (open, leaf litter, shelter) and measured two things: WHETHER they jumped (strategy choice) and HOW FAR (escape intensity). These are fundamentally different decisions.

Compositional Data Analysis (CoDA) maps your data from the simplex to unconstrained Euclidean space via log-ratio transformations (clr, ilr). Every analysis then respects the geometry of your data. No spurious correlations. No artifacts.

🧵 New preprint! If you quantify tissue compartments, leukocyte profiles, or any histological proportions — your statistics are probably wrong. Here's why, and what to do about it. 👇

And after quite a ride, we finally have the first chapter of my former PhD student Matheus Moroti published in Journal of Biogeography, with Fernando R Silva and @alexskeels.bsky.social Congrats Matheus, this is a big achievement! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Finally made to @idiv today to start my sabbatical as a @AvHStiftung senior fellow! A bit windy, but otherwise a beautiful city, full of history, park and friendly people to talk.

And after quite some time... our manuscript has been finally accepted in @conphysjournal ! Stay tuned for some cool stats and results, with implications for how urbanization impacts life-history strategies in the Global South.
