New paper out in Oikos: 15 years of bird monitoring in agricultural landscapes show declining functional diversity and clear functional clustering, while species richness has increased. How are communities' traits changing? What is the effect of land use?

Now available at https://t.co/RCVt648teE: 'The World of Zero-Inflated Models - Volume 2: Using GLMM.

Although this book is published under the umbrella of 'The World of Zero-Inflated Models', it also provides a good introduction to ordinary linear mixed-effects models and GLMMs.

Chapter 11 contains an extensive explanation of linear mixed-effects models. Originally, we used a dataset of bears and ants, but after discovering that the covariates only explained 2% of the variation, we decided to completely rewrite this chapter with a different dataset on painted turtles. At that point, we had forgotten that the chapter on zero-inflated binomial GLMMs also uses painted turtle data. So, we hope you like turtles. In Chapter 12, we first introduce Poisson GLMM using a squirrel dataset and discuss marginal and conditional predicted values. The chapter also covers zero-inflated Poisson and generalised Poisson GLMMs. A zero-inflated Poisson GLMM is applied to a humphead fisheries dataset in Chapter 13.

In Chapter 14, we discuss how to handle nested and crossed random effects, as well as auto-correlation, using a dataset on zero-inflated tree hyrax count data. A detailed explanation of zero-inflated binomial GLMMs is provided in Chapter 15. We use a dataset on painted turtles and also touch upon beta-binomial models. In contrast, Chapter 16 utilises beta GLMMs, zero-inflated beta GLMMs, zero-altered beta GLMMs, and ordered beta GLMMs for the analysis of zero-inflated caribou data. Finally, Chapter Chap17 presents an application of the Tweedie GLMM to zero-inflated biomass data.

🚨 Science Alert for World Sea Bird Day🌊🐦

Did you know that 200,000 seabirds die as bycatch in European waters every year?

Our latest co-authored paper highlights that especially threatened species such as the Northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) and Balearic Shearwater (Puffinus mauretanicus) suffer from additional pressure on their declining populations due to gillnet and longline fisheries. These methods have shown the highest rates of bycatch.
Unfortunately, the numbers only reflect the tip of the iceberg, as there is a huge lack of data and gaps in monitoring.

Losing thousands of seabirds to nets is preventable!
There are low-cost solutions that fishers can implement but we need Member States to enforce new methods and support fishers in the transition to decrease bycatch.
