My latest blog on evidence synthesis in ecology. We often see reviews that claim to have followed PRISMA. But PRISMA is not a conduct guide but a reporting guideline. Why does this matter? Have a read and find out! «PRISMA is not the method you are looking for». drmattg.github.io/Uncertain_Ec...
There is still time to sign up for @eshackathon.bsky.social ESH-Norge. Join us in Trondheim for 3 days of collaboration, innovation, and hands-on work to push evidence synthesis forward in environmental research.

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

I'm excited to announce that the @sortee.bsky.social Guidelines for Data and Code Quality Control in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are now published in Peer Community Journal peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10....
There is so much we do not know about large 🐻 carnivores and 🫎 wildlife in Kazakhstan. Very happy that I could do my part in supporting our colleague in Almaty + being part of this study + effort; great 💚 team!

New paper in Ecology and Evolution on monitoring brown bears with camera traps in the Altai mountains. Led by Sanzhar Kantarbayev from the Institute of Zoology in Almaty, Kazakhstan with research collaborators at NINA. @ninanatureresearch.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ece3...
The SORTEE guidelines for data and code quality control in ecology and evolutionary biology are now published in the Peer Community Journal!

I’m really proud of this paper. It’s a small study, but represents a meaningful first-step in understanding bears in a region where we know little. Grateful to be able to support a great up-and-coming researcher too.

Many journals require data and code sharing. Yet code is still rarely shared and datasets are often hard to reuse.
Our new paper introduces the @sortee.bsky.social guidelines for data & code quality control in ecology & evolution, developed by 26 experienced data editors.

🧵 New paper out today in @peercommunityin.bsky.social Journal!
@joelpick.bsky.social et al. introduce the first standardised guidelines for data & code quality control in #ecology & #evolutionarybiology, on behalf of @sortee.bsky.social 🔓

Do you know what the error/issue was @andyhickner.bsky.social? I guess it is a csv formatting issue (not all csv’s are created equal) which means we need to add some defensive code to the upload and some help text.
Mortality is rarely in the supermarket story.
Scottish salmon farms have 14.5% mortality on average, some >80%!
Death is part of the system.

Bit of trivia regarding the trend of more US Americans moving abroad: we now have more Americans living in Norway than Norwegians living in the US.
