Redefine statistical significance
The lack of reproducibility of scientific studies has caused growing concern over the credibility
of claims of new discoveries based on ‘statistically significant’findings. There has been …

The misuse of BLUP in ecology and evolution
Best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) is a method for obtaining point estimates of a
random effect in a mixed effect model. Over the past decade it has been used extensively in …

How to separate genetic and environmental causes of similarity between relatives
LEB Kruuk, JD Hadfield - Journal of evolutionary biology, 2007 - academic.oup.com
Related individuals often have similar phenotypes, but this similarity may be due to the
effects of shared environments as much as to the effects of shared genes. We consider here …

[PDF][PDF] Horizontally transmitted symbionts and host colonization of ecological niches
Facultative or "secondary" symbionts are common in eukaryotes, particularly insects. While
not essential for host survival, they often provide significant fitness benefits [1–5]. It has been …

Transparency in ecology and evolution: real problems, real solutions
To make progress scientists need to know what other researchers have found and how they
found it. However, transparency is often insufficient across much of ecology and evolution. …
