Using log(X+1) when estimating population trends is a classic mistakes of many papers in ecology, including famous one published in @Science and NatureEcoEvo about #insect decline. Why is it a mistake? Because it breaks the interpretability of the slope (trend) as a growth rate.

Having mostly reviewed stats papers written by ecologists I figured most ecologists were not trained in math notation. Reviewing stats papers written by statisticians has me updating this belief to "everyone should take a second to review math notation." besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

I've now shared the experience in a short article 😇 Had to fail to make it to Nature 🤣 My paper was proved wrong. After a sleepless night, here's what I did next nature.com/articles/d4158… Thank you so much to Jack Leeming Senior careers editor nature for his tremendous help 😉

Just published in eLife - the journal! elifesciences.org/articles/93656 I really enjoyed co-leading this one with Viraj Torsekar | विराज तोरसेकर who wrote this very nice thread. Co-authors Alfred Daniel Johnson (דָּנִיֵּאל), Efrat Gavish-Regev, Yael Hawlena & Dror Hawlena.

Super excited that my last dissertation chapter was just published in Molecular Ecology! We sequenced 800 transcriptomes to see what molecular responses nectar yeast have to priority effects. Check it out!

Here are some thoughts on teaching #statistics to non-statistical students, specifically those in #applied #ecology degrees. Thanks to Dr William Kay (he/him) and Tiago André Marques for an enjoyable (and not last) collaboration. request pdf here 👉tinyurl.com/33keh22s
