Missing data in ecology: Syntheses, clarifications, and considerations
In ecology and related sciences, missing data are common and occur in a variety of different contexts. When missing data are not handled properly, subsequent statistical estimates tend to be biased, ....

New butterfly research in "Ecology"👇
Another amazing paper from Tara Christensen - with a surprising result that nectar generalists (butterflies) are declining more than specialists. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Specialized flower visitation in montane butterflies is associated with positive population trajectories over time
Insect biodiversity is under threat from multiple stressors, including climate change and extreme weather. For butterflies, nectar resource use is an understudied trait in relation to population traj....

New seabird research in our journal "Ecosphere"👇
New paper! Terns differ in how they respond to changes in prey availability in the Gulf of Maine, with implications for the growth of their chicks. Isotopes + provisioning watches show that terns face trade-offs between prey quality & foraging distance.

Ochre sea star populations on the Oregon Coast are showing signs of recovery, with many individuals from a recent "baby boom" now reaching adulthood and restoring their ecological role. doi.org/g98bj6
As ochre sea star 'baby boomers' grow up, species is showing signs of recovery
The "baby boom" of ochre sea stars that followed a population crash a decade ago is enabling the species to recover on the Oregon Coast, according to new research by scientists at Oregon State University and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
