We detail the MAMMOTH @stateofindiasbirds.in effort, hoping that our analytical framework (and #OpenSource codebase), serves as a blueprint for similar #StateofBirds assessments in other #GlobalSouth regions. (1/n)

Nativeness cannot be binary, if is to make sense and be practically applicable at the scale of countries.
We propose a graduated definition, in which species native to neighbouring territories are considered "near-native"

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species
Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic na...

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB!
We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals
We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

From policy to practice: progress towards data- and code-sharing in ecology and evolution | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Data and code are essential for ensuring the credibility of scientific results and facilitating reproducibility, areas in which journal sharing policies play a crucial role. However, in ecology and evolution, we still do not know how widespread data- and ...

It's like an episode of black mirror in which, instead of fixing the poisonous two-sided market that favors oligopoly publishers, funding orgs decide to try out *price controls*.
NIH is considering changes in supporting publication costs--some ideas are quite radical and would endanger our ability to publish at all. I don't love the cots from the big for-profits but it does cost$ to run a journal. Please repost. Comment at:

Could we use community/citizen/participatory science data to estimate population extinction risk? Our results comparing the estimates from eBird and from a standardized survey suggest we can!!

🚨 Stat tips 🚨
Are you aware of the regression to the mean #RTM effect?
This artefact is often overlooked in #ecology & especially in biodiversity resurveys 🌳🍄🦔🦅🦎🦋🐝🐞 It basically shows up each time you investigate changes between 2 time events: t2 vs t1
Let me unfold it for you 🧵

#HiSciSky 🌏 I'm an ecologist from India and my work revolves mostly around birds; soon starting a PhD! Some specific interests include community and functional ecology, macroecology and biogeography. Beyond profession, birding occupies a prominent role in my life and is much more than a hobby!
