Insights into adaptive behavioural plasticity from the #guppy model system—a new Review in #ProcB this week: ow.ly/3ljw50QSfhv Janay A Fox Wyatt Toure @alexisheckley Raina Fan Simon Reader (@[email protected]) Rowan Barrett

New preprint with Giovanni Colavizza et al: We use PLOS Open Science Indicators to explore if #OpenScience practices correlate with cumulative effects on citations. Sharing preprints, 20.2% increase; sharing data in a repository, 4.3%; sharing code, no effect arxiv.org/abs/2404.16171

The last chapter of my PhD work is out!

Ch. 4 of my thesis is out! We use two fish species found in the same environment but with different evolutionary histories (one recent range expanding and one native) to show that maladaptive plasticity in gene expression could play a role in the colonization of new environments.

“Always the peer reviewer never the peer” -my partner after telling me I’ve peer reviewed more papers than I’ve published BRB I gotta go cry

So much in ecology remains exploratory And many papers are simply looking for the connections between things That forcing them to state hypotheses or specific questions is unhelpful Let’s hear it for exploratory ecology!

Thanks for the feature SCOTLAND: The Big Picture! Chris Hirst

Julia Greg Albery Cécile Sarabian Minyoung Choi We had a fantastic Ecology of Disgust session, supported by a grant from The Company of Biologists - thank you for supporting our speakers!

The comings and goings of 4 caribou in 2019 (aka I needed to make a pretty map to gain the will to keep working).

In case more evidence were needed that statements alone are not the right measure/ target to promote data sharing: "Our experience along with .. others suggests that data availability statements do not translate into actual data sharing" diabetesjournals.org/care/article/d…

Just put together a simple guide on how to vectorize R plots in PowerPoint. Check out my first Medium article 🥳 nalinan.medium.com/how-to-vectori…

New career aspirations unlocked.

The informal poll results are in, & as I feared, most people are running ANOVAs in #R with functions that can give highly misleading (or flat out wrong) results. Follow along to see why using anova() and aov() is usually inadvisable & why you should be using car::Anova() 🧵

Very excited and grateful to receive the Bruce Cattanach Prize for my thesis which I just defended on Tuesday!

Personally I think tangerineland rolls off the tongue better

Check out our new study on the ecosystem impacts of the world's biggest #rodent 🌿🐭 Capybaras generate #grazing lawns and maintain #plant diversity in Neotropical #savanna 🇦🇷🌎onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…. Big thx to Julia Mata for leading this work! #herbivores #megafauna #capybara

Happy International Women’s Day! CSEE is fortunate to have many women who lead our society and are making Canada a world leader in ecological and evolutionary research

How fast can brains epigenetically respond to predation stress? We found that brain DNA methylation in guppies can shift within 30 minutes of predator exposure — with different time courses between males and females. New paper from my PhD now out! 🧠🐟 doi.org/10.1111/mec.17…
