I’m sure @wyokauffman.bsky.social has some great suggestions for this!

Abundance‐mediated species interactions Species interactions shape biodiversity patterns, community assemblage, and the dynamics of wildlife populations. Ecological theory posits that the strength of interspecific interactions is fundament...

Are you interested in species interactions and how we model them?

Then this thread is for you!

Our new paper in Ecology on the role of abundance in species interactions provides new statistical tools for modelling species interactions.

How do ecologists estimate occupancy in practice? Over 20 years ago, ecologists were introduced to the site occupancy model (SOM) for estimating occupancy rates from detection-nondetection data. In the ensuing decades, the SOM and its hierarchical m...

Thrilled to share "How do ecologists estimate occupancy in practice?" out now in @ecography.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1111/ecog...
We highlight patterns, best practices, and outstanding questions in studies of wildlife "occupancy." Let me know what you think. 1/3

Really proud of this paper and the opportunity to work with the Stacks! I definitely recommend it for folks trying to break out of the toxic for-profit publishing groups.
