Happy birthday, p = 0.05!
I had a short introductory lecture in statistics for biologists this morning, and then it dawned on me that p = 0.05 is celebrating its hundredth birthday this year.

Our new paper, using shotgun metagenomics on the gut microbiome, shows small but interesting longitudinal changes with age in a natural population.

Metagenomic analyses of gut microbiome composition and function with age in a wild bird; little change, except increased transposase gene abundance
Abstract. Studies on wild animals, mostly undertaken using 16S metabarcoding, have yielded ambiguous evidence regarding changes in the gut microbiome (GM)

New preprint out with @hannahdugdale.bsky.social, @lummaalab.bsky.social, and @erikpostma.bsky.social: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Why do we age? And can a “natural experiment” during the Great Finnish Famine with long-term data help provide some answers?

🚨 New preprint alert!
More siblings, fiercer competition, extra food—but stunted growth! 🐦🍕📏
In zebra finches raised in large broods, increased energy spent on begging—not less food—causes reduced growth.

Begging costs rather than food received cause brood size effect on growth in zebra finches
Altricial species rely on parental provisioning for early-life sustenance, and a larger brood size leads to higher levels of competition between siblings for food provided by the parents. Early-life s...
