Although much evidence exists showing organismal consequences from artificial light at night (ALAN), large knowledge gaps remain regarding ALAN affecting species interactions. Species interactions occur via shared spatio-temporal niches among species, which may be determined by natural levels. We review how is altering these through expanding twilight or full Moon conditions and constricting nocturnal as well creating patches of bright dark. literature a database to determine if dynamics. The indicates growing interest in interactions: 58% the studies we analysed have been published since 2020. Seventy-five 79 found altered Enhancements reductions were equally documented. Many revealed spatially, but few temporal alterations. There are biases ALAN-most investigated predator-prey with vertebrates predators invertebrates prey. Following this review, suggest avenues, such remote sensing animal tracking, that can guide future research on across spatial axes.

Publication bias impacts on effect size, statistical power, and magnitude (Type M) and sign (Type S) errors in ecology and evolutionary biology

Опубликована: Сен. 12, 2022

Collaborative assessments of direct replicability empirical studies in the medical and social sciences have exposed alarmingly low rates replicability, a phenomenon dubbed ‘replication crisis’. Poor has spurred cultural changes targeted at improving reliability these disciplines. Given absence equivalent replication projects ecology evolutionary biology, two inter-related indicators offer us possibility to retrospectively assess replicability: publication bias statistical power. This registered report assesses prevalence severity small-study (i.e., smaller reporting larger effect sizes) decline effects sizes decreasing over time) across biology using 87 meta-analyses including 4,250 primary 17,638 sizes. Further, we estimate how might distort estimation sizes, power, errors magnitude (Type M or exaggeration ratio) sign S). We show strong evidence for pervasiveness both evolution. There was widespread that resulted meta-analytic means being over-estimated by (at least) 0.12 standard deviations. The distorted confidence results with 66% initially statistically significant becoming non-significant after correcting bias. Ecological consistently had power (15%) 4-fold on average error = 4.4). Notably, aggravates (from 23% 15%) type 2.7 4.4) because it creates non-random sample size evidence.

Reanalysis shows there is not an extreme decline effect in fish ocean acidification studies

PLoS Biology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 20(11), С. e3001809 - e3001809

Опубликована: Ноя. 22, 2022

This Formal Comment uses re-analysis after appropriate corrections to claim that the extreme decline effect reported by Clements et al. is a statistical artefact caused way they corrected for zeros in percentage data, exacerbated errors data compilation, selective inclusions and missing studies with strong effects.
