Finally a global test of the abundance-occupancy relationship (that widespread species are more locally abundant)! If it does not hold, neither does its corollary, the "double jeopardy" (that restricted range species tend to be locally rare), which had been nagging me. Yay to citizen science data!

I will teach my advanced #MetaAnalysis course this year (September 24-26, 2025): www.wvbauer.com/doku.php/cou... Since my regular meta-analysis course is also overdue, I decided to extend the advanced course by an extra day to cover the standard methods more thoroughly.

Cool paper! It addresses mostly false assumption of homoscedasticity in biological systems. Explicitly models how predictors affect both means AND variances, revealing ecological signals hidden by simpler statistical approaches. nitroxhead.blogspot.com/2025/05/movi...

Since we are still talking about interactions, I worked with some ecologists a couple of years ago on measurement scale, interactions and interpretation issues. I think some problems arise from failure to distinguish prediction from inference, a chronic problem in ecology imo doi.org/10.1111/brv....
