🎉New paper out @jevbio.bsky.social 🎉

We show that unpredictability in escape behavior of a grasshopper species is partly heritable and may be linked to a boldness behavioral syndrome 🦗💨

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB!

🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility.

🎉 Another paper out!! 🎉

In a @sortee.bsky.social led joint effort, we assessed data and code sharing in 275 Ecology & Evolution journals and the compliance rates in two journals with a mandate policy.

The typically short-winged meadow grasshopper develops a long-winged dispersive morph at high rearing densities.

Very excited for this series! 🚀

We’ll be collaboratively building R packages and submitting them to CRAN. This is our first hands-on session, so you have plenty of time to hop on board! 🛶
Learn to build R packages with R-Ladies Cologne! 🎉

This second meeting has a hands-on approach, and you will learn how to write and document functions (an important step in package building!)

Data come in many different formats and are used in many different ways, but in many cases, a checklist like this (along with good data documentation) can help you verify if a dataset is in a usable format for most general purposes.

It is incredible (or incredibly sad) how we had to develop a skill of recomposing ourselves after witnessing horrendous scenes of athrocities happening in Palestine just so that we can go back to work instead of crying our eyes out for the rest of the day.

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...
Which Kind of Science Reform
What hope is there for science reform, if we can't agree on what to reform? Right now, principles are more important than practices.

Wow.

"56 laboratories performed 143 replications of 56 experiments; 96 replications of 47 experiments were considered valid [...] Replication rates for these experiments varied between 15 & 45% according to five predefined criteria [...] effect sizes were 60% larger in original experiments"

Nothing excites me more (at work) than writing R packages... I wish I could work full time with that. Anyone has an idea where I could find such a job? 😅
