We are reading this paper - again! - for lab meeting this week. It’s so good and essential that it requires periodic revisiting, esp. as new folks join my group. Generates great discussion and introspection. The authors also approach the topic with refreshing humility. doi.org/10.1002/ecy....

Here’s what happens to regression 📈 when sample sizes are low… even with a strong underlying correlation, sampling error will erode everything! 🧪 ‼️ #rstats simulation viz via the switchboard package for R

I've posted a new video on YouTube that gives a brief overview of the new conditional_values() function in my gratia #RStats 📦 I plan to do more of these videos over the next few weeks & months. Make sure you're subscribed if you want to be notified as they get posted. youtu.be/iKG0aHWpTAo

The earth gets drier and warmer, and #megadroughts have been increasing for 40 years and will do so in the future. Substantial negative impacts on #water supply, #agriculture and all #ecosystem services are to be expected. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Where are all the field studies? This ⬇️ important but rather depressing paper describes how conducting, & crucially initiating, field studies is becoming harder & rarer. A short 🧵 (and a call for more fieldwork) www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

The evidence for Homo sapiens playing the dominant role in the global #megafauna #extinctions constitutes one of the clearest, well-supported patterns in #ecology.

OK, here is a very rough draft of a tutorial for #Bayesian #SEM using #brms for #rstats. It needs work, polish, has a lot of questions in it, and I need to add a references section. But, I think a lot of folk will find this useful, so.... jebyrnes.github.io/bayesian_sem... (use issues for comments!)

As many people have already started preparing for the #Christmas feast, take a moment to think -and share your thoughts with your loved ones- on how sustainable such a feast can be considered in our days: "Why #biodiversity matters in #agriculture and #food systems" www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Good advise! I would also avoid submitting papers now. Authors, editors and reviewers all deserve some time off 😎

Foundations and future directions for causal inference in ecological research, forthcoming w/ @katherinesiegel.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/4mm57zzd. We wrote it based on our experience teaching causal inference to ecologists w/ some stuff we wish other papers had reviewed to share w/ the students 1/n

New paper alert ! doi.org/10.1093/aob/... Felix Bauer et al showed that decreasing soil #phosphorus availability in maize leads to a reorganisation of the #root system, itself leading to a potential decrease in the root system capacity to take up water

Woohoo, our paper is live! This haiku summarizes it best: Raw model results? Stop! Hard to understand! Use {marginaleffects}

🚨 New function 🚨 @vincentab.bsky.social's marginaleffects 📦 is great for generating quantities of interest from your model. I've long wanted something similar to plot_predictions() for my gratia 📦 Introducing conditional_values() 🎉 gavinsimpson.github.io/gratia/refer... #RStats #GAMs #mgcv 1/6

Science takes time - a lot of time. Time that is more and more difficult to make available because of increased workloads. Time that exceeds the temporary contracts of postdocs and PhDs. I'll illustrate this using our paper published in Nature yesterday. 🧵 (1/x) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great news! Two of my research projects got the funding. Two new openings (1 PhD and 1 Post doc) will be advertised in early 2025 and if you are interested in soil biogeochemistry and nutrient cycling in arid ecosystems, reach out. Please share! :)

It’s out!! We subjected soils from 30 different locations across Europe to extreme events and found that soil fungal and bacterial communities showed consistent responses that could be predicted from their origin! With @knightjar.bsky.social and many collaborators! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
