New paper on crypsis of squirrel color morphs along an urbanization gradient by our recent MS graduate Jess Proctor. Jess used an online game and image analysis to compare background matching of color morphs in different habitats rdcu.be/eezHI #squirrels #evolution #ecology

I'm teaching intro stats in spring. Main goal is inference, but also some coding in R. How are instructors handling AI on coding assignments? Do you assign graded homework or take-home exams? Allowing help from AI ? Curious about the range of approaches ... #Statistics #DataScience #Teaching

I am looking for recommendations of excellent papers in #evolutionarybiology from 2024/2023 that are suitable for a 3rd year evobio course. Key criteria: i) exceptionally clearly written & understandable to undergrads, ii) explicit questions/hypotheses, iii) ≤10 pages, iv) mixture of figures/tables
