Pleased to announce that our paper looking at factors shaping telomere length in the common coqui frog is finally out (see link below)!!!
Environmental factors shape skin telomere length in a frog coexisting with an invasive chytrid fungus - Evolutionary Ecology
Trait variation across environmental gradients provides valuable insights into the ecology and evolution of species. Telomere length is a dynamic trait associated with cellular ageing, stress physiolo...

Additional presentations by ACCSTR PhD students Chris Nolte on leatherback demographic ecology and stable isotope patterns plus George Glen on sea turtle aging and life history theory.
Decades of captive green sea turtle data reveals no evidence of reproductive senescence despite mortality rates increasing with age. These results contextualize age-specific changes in the life history of sea turtles within the testudine phylogeny. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Thrilled to be able to share our new paper on the bias introduced by the Laplace approximation to the marginal likelihood for hierarchical models
Practical Consequences of the Bias in the Laplace Approximation to Marginal Likelihood for Hierarchical Models
Due to the high dimensional integration over latent variables, computing marginal likelihood and posterior distributions for the parameters of a general hierarchical model is a difficult task. The Mar...
