Short summary thread:

New data paper in Ecology reporting >10000 #frugivory interaction events between 59 vertebrate species (46 birds, 13 mammals) and 339 plant individuals from 13 different plant species in Doñana, Southern Spain, obtained with #CameraTraps:

Interesting preprint:

Tree diversity increases forest temperature buffering

"Species richness strengthened the attenuation of hot and of cold macroclimate air temperatures, with the cooling effect being more pronounced"

Code sharing increases citations but remains uncommon

https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3222221/v1

'We examine temporal trends in code sharing in ecology and evolution publications since 2010.

We find that scientists are overwhelmingly (95%) failing to publish their code.

We also find code sharing can considerably improve citations.'

Cool study on #coexistence published today in Science:
https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adg0727

They put many species pairs to coexist together. In most cases one species outcompeted the other

Yet all these species are actually coexisting in real communities: coexistence is an emergent phenomenon

Cool study using 18 yr of data from grassland biodiversity experiment shows that plant diversity buffers soil temperature throughout the year

Grasslands with more species show stronger cooling in summer (up to 5ºC) and warming in autumn (+1.5ºC)

Assessing and improving the transferability of global spatial prediction models https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13635 #ecopubs

-Random cross-validation overestimates accuracy

-Spatial CV selecting reduced number of predictors improves accuracy

-Keep predictions within area of applicability

New preprint @ecoevorxiv claims that ">50% of statistically significant findings in the environmental sciences are actually not"
