Performance of generalized distance sampling models with temporary emigration: a simulation study
Generalized distance sampling (GDS) models are the distance sampling equivalent of temporary emigration N-mixture models. In addition to density and the perceptibility component of detection, both co...

1°C of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1°C.
Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4°C warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.

Looking for your first quantitative ecology post-doc? Then get in touch.
I will be co-supervising a post-doc with Lourens Swanepoel (based in SA: @Univenofficial). You will have access to many awesome data sets and the focus will be on applying hierarchical models.

Statistical Rethinking was this book that made a difference in my career. I started my PhD knowing little about stats (as almost every ecologist). The book and the lectures are made in a way one can understand stats from its base and deepen into the world of Bayes. I couldn't recommend them more.
If you hate statistics like I do, then you'll love my free lectures. Putting science before statistics, 20 lectures from basics of inference & causal modeling to multilevel models & dynamic state space models. It's all free, made with love and sympathy. 🧪 #stats www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
