Interested in applied statistics and meta-science
The second paper of my PhD came out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social:
We assessed approaches for meta-analyses with dependent effect sizes and sampling errors 🔍 doi.org/10.1111/2041...
This is especially relevant for ecologists and evolutionary biologists planning to conduct a meta-analysis.

Modelling approaches for meta‐analyses with dependent effect sizes in ecology and evolution: A simulation study
In ecology and evolution, meta-analysis is an important tool to synthesise findings across separate studies and identify sources of heterogeneity. However, ecological and evolutionary data often e...

Do you get confused when reading meta-analyses? Our new paper offers a practical guide to help researchers understand, interpret, and use them properly. We also show that the insights meta-analyses provide are often overlooked by those who cite them.

Very proud of this paper in BioScience :
« Too cute to be wild: what teddy bears reveal about our disconnection from nature »
🧸 are more than toys, they shape among our first emotional connections to nature. But their design may also distort how we see wildlife !

Simulation studies are widely used, but have historically lacked clear guidance around preregistration.
In response to this gap, a team of researchers have developed a new template for preregistering simulation studies, now available on OSF.

I wrote a small blog piece about terminology in meta-analysis ⬇️ Have you ever felt muddled by other terms?
Are you confused by meta-analytic terminology? - fixed-effect and random-effects models? Effect size? Multivariate models? - You are not alone - @coraliewilliams.bsky.social explains in her blog - www.i-deel.org/blog/meta-an...
