The informal poll results are in, & as I feared, most people are running ANOVAs in #R with functions that can give highly misleading (or flat out wrong) results. Follow along to see why using anova() and aov() is usually inadvisable & why you should be using car::Anova() 🧵

November is 🐢 month and they’ll be lots of nesting action. Keep your eyes peeled for broken egg shells near to waterbodies and help our friends to cross the road safely.

Please log all any turtles or action you see on turtleSAT to help us better manage Australian turtles.

[Donald McKnight @donaldmcknight2]

Which function do you use for ANOVAs in #R?

I have a suspicion/fear that many people are doing ANOVAs "wrong" in R (I'll explain what I mean by "wrong," as well as the "right" way after the poll ends). #Stats #Statistics #Research

We invited citizen scientists to test their skills in frog call validation. 57% of public IDs were completely accurate, highlighting the challenge of IDing multiple species at once and the resources needed to support public engagement in #FrogID validation

In today’s herping highlight I bring you an iddy biddy banded eastern brown snake. This individual is likely to be 8-10 months old and will eventually loose its pattern as it matures #wildoz

Check it out. A rare blind snake cover shot and a cool paper.

Turtles often encounter fences as they wander over land in search of water, or a mate. Here’s how to make fences turtle-friendly. @uninewengland @OhioState

Warm winters are waking snakes early. Here’s what that means for them and us https://t.co/K9HNygbrHn via @ConversationEDU

Love reptile research and remote fieldwork? Master's scholarship available at @BiolSci_UWA to study the Yinnietharra rock dragon - one of Australia's priority species. Project led by rock dragon expert Tash Lebas and a great WA team @AustSocHerp @S_van_Leeuwen @TSCommissioner

After unforeseen production delays, it was great to return the final proofs of our new edited book back to the production team today. Hopefully not too long to go before it comes out. A massive shout out again to co-editor @ulrikacandolin and our amazing chapter contributors 🙏

I am so proud to see the @savethesnakes Team represent our global snake conservation efforts at the World Congress of Herpetology in Kuching, Malaysia. We've achieved so much & it's wonderful to see our work shared with the international herpetological community. 🐍🐍🐍 #WCH10
