📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB!
🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility.

SquidSim is the coolest package - it let's you build complex hierarchical data structures and then simulate data from the world you create. The best tool for doing proper power analyses and testing how well your models can uncover the 'truth'. I've been recommending it to everyone!

Visual representation of tested hypotheses showing how urbanization can affect phenotypic variation at different population levels.

Using long-term data from European tit populations, we test three hypotheses to determine how urbanization affects phenotypic variation at different population levels.

Integration of pedigrees and methods for demographic inference in livestock population genomics
Demographic inference is a central tool for reconstructing the genetic history of a population. Recently, several new approaches have brought this tool into a new era, that of the exhaustive use of whole-genome sequence. These approaches can be divided into two categories: demographic inference based on ancestral recombination graphs (ARGs1) and deep learning based inference2,3. However, without any other source of information, it is difficult to assess the actual degree of accuracy of these methods. In the case of livestock species, we usually have access to an additional information, rather unique and valuable, the pedigree over several generations. This set of relationships makes it possible to compare inferred demographic histories with the exact, albeit incomplete, history of the population.In this thesis project, we aim to use the pedigree information on the one hand, to assess the results obtained with the new approaches of demographic inference, and, on the other hand, to refine methods for ARG estimation. Therefore, we propose a research program divided into three main tasks: (i) to appropriate new approaches (ARG, deep learning) in demographic inference on goat and sheep datasets, (ii) to compare these approaches together, in particular to evaluate their inference of the effective size of a population in the light of genealogical information, and (iii) to integrate this information into the inference of ARGs.Kelleher, J. et al.

The CHAMADE team is part of the “Diversity and Selection” scientific division of the research unit. The team is interested in methodological issues in the field of population genomics, genetic evaluation of livestock species and quantitative and evolutionary genetics. On deep learning approaches for demographic inference, collaboration is also planned with the BioInfo team from the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire des Sciences du Numérique (LISN, Paris-Saclay University).

Code-sharing policies are associated with increased reproducibility potential of ecological findings
In 2020, we showed that studies published in ecological journals WITH a code-sharing policy showed a 21% reproducibility potential at max (Culina et al 2020, @plosbiology.bsky.social)
We've now investigated journals WITHOUT a code-sharing policy. The results are worrying.
