Do you use logistic regression? If so, you’ll want to read the thread below. ⚠️ Warning: Memes, charts, #rstats, and practical advice ahead.

We are looking for a PhD student, to work on statistical models for animal movement and fisheries science! Feel free to email/DM me if you're interested or have any questions (either about the project or about life in Halifax).

What are your New Year's resolutions? How about applying for #Animove2024 ? We are accepting applications now via our website. Deadline: 31st of January 2024. Please spread the word 😀👍🌏 Safi_Lab @safilabmpi MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social Universität Konstanz Max Planck Society

My first PhD chapter is out as a preprint! We formulate step selection functions as GAM-like models, which can be fitted in mgcv. This allows for the inclusion of non-linear effects/interactions, as well as individual-level and spatial random effects! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Bringing the flexibility of GAMs and the convenience of mgcv to step selection functions is exciting! This allows movement and habitat selection to be modelled as non-linear, time-varying, spatially-varying, individual-specific, etc. Check out Figure 1 for an overview.

JOB ALERT: If you like 1) being on the leading edge of research-implementation, 2) coordinating large collaborative teams, and 3) helping restore lake ecosystems by controlling aquatic invasive species... THIS is the job for you!! MAISRC hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/359338

Looking for advice on statistics in ecology? Check out this new paper "Four principles for improved statistical ecology" in Methods in Ecology and Evolution by Popovic et al. #statistics #ecology besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

I'm excited to share that I published a first version of my Statistics 4 Ecologists book with University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. You can now download a (FREE) pdf version of the book here: conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/2…

Looking forward to reading this one!

📣New paper alert 📢 Super Excited to see our new paper out in Methods in Ecology and Evolution w John Fieberg @dwwolfson @eeb_dennis on modelling individual variability using step-selection besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… #animalmovement #ecology BES Movement Ecology U of MN FWCB University of Minnesota A small thread...

All reproducible and open: github.com/ibartomeus/Cro… Having a dynamic paper is a dream come true. It shows science is a process and focuses on improving our answers. I hope is a new way to publish general questions.

Super cool work on animal activity pattern modelling by Fabiola Iannarilli The International Statistical Ecology Conference Looking forward to the "how-to" for the hierarchical activity modelling John Fieberg @science_action Martin Wikelski #statisticalecology #models #AcademicTwitter

Sorry to hear this Tiago! Hope someone returns your bag!

Might be my last set of posts for awhile. Going to see what bluer sky looks like: John Fieberg.bsky.social
