@MicrobiomDigest

I'm not sure what skillset they want from me here...

@lakens Effect sizes for group-by-group comparisons in regression/ANCOVA models. If the central premise of a study is: Does Group A and Group B differ? The effect size emphasized shouldn't be R2 (b/c uneven group size will impact it), authors should report Standardized Mean Differences.
