NEVER scroll back ten years in your inbox and dwell on all the emails you never answered.
BUT if you do, relax; the world clearly moved on just fine without you.

The sample size of the typical ecological correlation coefficient is small and slowly declining
Larger sample sizes are desirable because they minimize sampling error. However, they are not the only desideratum, and it is unknown if sample sizes in ecology trade off with other desiderata. Here ...
