We just published a simulation study showing that model-based sampling can improve the performance of species distribution models using #citizenscience data! Really cool to see how beneficial adaptive sampling can be in real-world contexts! https://t.co/n26sHuj8Nq

Why do birds coordinate provisioning to young? Work by @ChayAnimalFacts, @beckerhopper, @SamCPatrick & Hatchwell suggests long-tailed tits exhibit 2 forms of coordination; synchronizing visits to ⬇️predation risk & turn feeding to ⬆️ offspring recruitment.

Recording nature where it matters (adaptive sampling in #citizenscience) improves results of biodiversity modelling - according to our new simulation study in @MethodsEcolEvol 🧵

Two papers in @MethodsEcolEvol in the space of a few months really blows my mind a little. These have been a long time in the making and am very pleased to see them out. A lot of hard work through challenging times...

[Thomas MondainMonval @TMondain]

The "older" one is a simulation study investigating a few different methods to evaluate whether adaptive sampling could work for improving citizen science data. Spoiler: it works! https://t.co/n26sHuj8Nq

[François Duchenne @F_DUCHENNE]

Using log(X+1) when estimating population trends is a classic mistakes of many papers in ecology, including famous one published in @Science and @NatureEcoEvo about #insect decline.
Why is it a mistake? Because it breaks the interpretability of the slope (trend) as a growth rate.
