blog post: connections between survey statistics and experimental design.
split-plot designs are analogous to cluster sampling.
blocking is analogous to stratification.
featuring an experiment by @arjun_potter1 and colleagues at @NM_AIST !
Designing and teaching this Bayesian stats course led by @shiraamitchell at @NM_AIST was a joy! We used the seedlings in my common garden experiment as a teaching tool. ๐ฑStudents critiqued the experiment, debated priors, and built modelsโฆ a totally different stats course ๐
In September I taught Bayesian Statistical Workflow at @NM_AIST. Our case study was an experiment by @arjun_potter1 and @CharlesLuchagu1 studying effects of fire, drought, and herbivory on acacia trees. ๐ฑ
Do larger herbivores eat lower-quality diets? Yesโฆ but for reasons that may surprise you! My new synthesis of the Jarman-Bell Principle with @rob_pringle touches animal ecology, behavior, evolution, metabolism, and more!

Excited to share our paper in @JEcology! Big thanks to editors, reviewers, @rob_pringle & collabs, particularly @GorongosaPark.
Traits of diet plants of 14 large herbivores suggest fresh perspectives on niche partitioning, body size, & leaf economics:

@PeterScogings @JEcology @rob_pringle @GorongosaPark Thanks! Great question--I don't know. I suspect that the DeGabriel et al. (2008) approach would help to avoid overestimating the quality of high-tannin browse. Would be curious to hear your thoughts.
