Another way to deal with publication bias that might be plaguing your meta-analysis. Wonderful work by Yefeng, with an awesome team (Shinichi Nakagawa | 中川震一 Coralie Williams et al.) we even have a new plot to visualise it in the orchard package. Check it out in Methods in Ecology and Evolution

Delighted to share our new perspective article Journal of Evolutionary Biology: rising evidence suggests unexpectedly robust link btw micro- and macroevolution. It challenges past views of evolution and calls for interdisciplinary research. #Evolution #EvoDevo #Paleontology 1/7 doi.org/10.1093/jeb/vo…
