True true. We demonstrate the silliness of that prior here…animals bigger than the earth or smaller than an atom. Who knows! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Choosing priors in Bayesian ecological models by simulating from the prior predictive distribution

Bayesian data analysis is increasingly used in ecology, but prior specification remains focused on choosing non-informative priors (e.g., flat or vague priors). One barrier to choosing more informati....

Concerning for sure though I found this quote in the discussion reassuring: “…in the year 2023, the Scopus database included 2,511,962 scientific publications…compared to the number of 89 articles…the problem discussed constitutes only 0.000035% of the total”

I've seen this in my students' papers and I'm horrified (but not surprised) that the same trademarks of AI are showing up in published lit. This read is 100% worth some of your Friday time. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The International Symposium on Synthesis Research in Aquatic Ecosystems will take place 11-12/6 in Copenhagen. 5 keynote speakers and 5 of AquaSYNC's Working Groups will present ground breaking results anchored in research accepted for publication in high ranking journals. www.aquasync.dk/resources

I’d love to be added

Check out this amazing dataset! Size spectra are key for understanding community-level impacts of environmental change. Fragmented literature + nuances in the analyses have hindered direct comparisons within / across ecosystem types. This standardized, open-source dataset enables those comparisons 😊

📝'GLOSSAQUA: A global dataset of size spectra across aquatic ecosystems' 🗣️Nuevo artículo done participan miembros del #IICG, Ignasi Arranz U. @ignasiarranz.bsky.social , Javier Sánchez H. y Zeynep Ersoy. 👩‍💻Se realizó con el apoyo de las becas de la #SIBECOL para jóvenes investigadores.

AquaSYNC / NIVA has today announced a call for a new Synthesis Working Group focusing on analyses of existing data on 'biodiversity & climate change' in Arctic and sub-Arctic aquatic ecosystems. AquaSYNC will support a working group in 2025 and 2026. Read more here: www.aquasync.dk/post/breakin...

The viridis palettes are great perceptually uniform color maps for #dataviz, but sometimes at the extremes they're too pale/dark. With ggplot and #rstats, though, you can truncate the palette to avoid the paler colors. I wrote a little guide for how datavizf24.classes.andrewheiss.com/news/2024-12...

I don't follow baseball 😉 and as a computational biologist I was raised on Benjamini-Hochberg-like approches. but I remember the first time seeing this figure (after reading a pharmacoepi paper by @zshahn.bsky.social) and was immediately captured by the logic.

NSF makes you say who you got conflicts (coauthored) with. We (really just Jordan Matelsky) just built you a tool for that. Literally one click: bib.experiments.kordinglab.com/nsf-coa

In a new study, we develop a framework to identify nutrient hotspots in the landscape. We also discuss how nutrient spatial distribution can be indicative of underlying ecological processes. This could thus be useful to identify target habitats for conservation purpose (🧵👇) 🧪🌎 tinyurl.com/577jajvm
