Kicked off 3rd Evidence Synthesis course with @ASanchez_Tojar@shreya_dimri_ and a full class from around the globe 🌍 covering systematic reviews, meta-analysis & evidence synthesis in ecology & evolution using R.

Have you been wondering how AI tools can be utilised to improve science research, rigorously and transparently? Look no further than this #ECRAsks interview of Malgorzata (Losia) Lagisz by Oakleigh Wilson on our blog!

🚨 Fifty years of research on "badges of status" in animals, and we still don't know if the hypothesis holds. In our new reply, we argue that the evidence is shakier than recently claimed.

Seats still available for the Meta-Analysis in R course (11–14 May, online) with @ASanchez_Tojar & @shreya_dimri_
Hands-on training from systematic reviews to meta-regression, heterogeneity & publication bias using R (metafor, orchaRd)

New paper out in @journal_evo! 🎉
We use phylogenetic meta-analysis of variance to test stabilising selection & canalisation for wing length across 172 birds: migratory & aerial feeders show higher canalisation (~5–10% lower CV).
📄 https://t.co/3r4jfBiUdY
We hope future researchers study trait canalisation making use of the large datasets now available across species.

P.S. Apologies for no open access. We were mistaken about our university's publishing agreement. DM me for a copy! 📩

@sortecoevo We must go further: redesign institutions, test causal interventions, and have national funders establish dedicated meta-research panels: an investment this field has long deserved.

@NatureNV@UnivdeCoimbra
@Nature has published three groundbreaking papers on reproducibility, analytical robustness, and replicability across the social sciences. Sincere thanks are due to the many folks who contributed to these projects. It’s painstaking work, and a great service to social science.

Nature meta-research project puts claims in social-science papers. I'm interested in Econ and Psych so I focused on that:
Econ had about the same rate of "not reproducible" analyses as Psych and a worse rate then Political Science.
