Again, you choose to assign efficiency outside the metric it was intended. Do you deny an omnivore diet is less calorically and nutrient rich. Do you deny if the western diet reduced meat intake, a 9 billion population could be sustainable? This is not an either or situation.

I stated more efficient. From calories and nutrients per gram, that has been always been true. Fats and proteins from omnivore diet is more efficient especially in higher latitudes where locally sourced foods require seasonal dietary shifts.

Why bother with supplements you should go old school method for non-ruminant vegetarians. Become one with your inner lagomorph, go coprophagic, like many apes. That way you could claim you are what you eat.

Well known fact, mentioned in all 5 papers on publication bias, two specifically for ecology and evolution. But hey, in your familiarity with the research process, you deny something that every introduction to research methodology class covers. You MUST be correct.

For papers that review the state of knowledge for a topic. Not the same as a research paper for a single study.

As for the original paper you provide. 20% of meta-analyses may draw fallacious conclusions due to the lack publishing negative results. The 2002 paper I provided note that publication bias results from editorial boards as much or more than people not willing to publish null results.

1. Negative results = null results = studies with data that is not statistically significant. All synonymous
2. The data may support the research hypothesis, yet not be statistically significant. It does not mean the study found significant results opposite to expectations.

The surveys are super fun. I learned a ton from the training, and now have a “bumble bee list”. The new challenge is to find a cuckoo bumblebee species.

Definitely canine. One print can be difficult, as gait provide useful clues. The toes are pretty spread out, as in dog vs wolf which are usually teardrop shaped. Also nails are visible. Very common for dogs, less common for wolves.

Again, you confuse meta-analyses with research studies. Those meta-analyses require methods to account for “missing” data. 20% of them, reviews on a topic to help provide an overall understanding, are biased due to a lack work publishing negative findings, lacking adequate effect sizes.

Omnivores require less biomass for same amount of calories. I understand the tropic level argument, but consumption of calorie and nutrient dense is more efficient to the individual than eating fiber-dense foods and requiring a rumen. But hey, start growing your own duckweed, good luck scaling up.

You are trying to prove a point with data that information that does not exist. One of the publishing bias papers I provided included evolution in their studies, then there is this talk from 2023 addressing said bias in ecology and evolution.

swamps selection. 3. Secondary sexual characteristics for males peak after the hunting season. 4. Constraints of flight impose uniformity on individuals within most species/populations. 5. Non-breeding survival impose greater selective forces than hunting.

I never claimed hunting is not a selective force. Never claimed that it could not potentially result in selection. I did claim there is no evidence for several reasons. 1. Populations fluctuate due to abiotic factors that dictate cover and food availability. 2. Gene flow is high, which

Yet the crux of the your argument was hunting selection changes bird populations. You never provided proof. You provide conjecture and you present ideas from two papers, but don’t include the caveats provided by those authors.

They chose the traits based on how other taxa expressed selection. They also recognize that while hunting is a form of selection, there maybe other selective forces over-riding hunting. They mention pace of life and boldness, however they caution that traits, especially behaviors, can be plastic.

I see that PLOSone has a missing pieces collection. There would still be an issue with time to write the full study and money for page charges. How many studies lack effect size due to sample size? There are data repositories. I know ESA has a data archive, it sure how it is utilized.
