Personally, I think we should ditch the term pseudoreplication for a bunch of reasons, some of which I rant about in the paper.

"Australia has the second-lowest public expenditure on tertiary education institutions in the OECD…This has resulted in an endless chase for dollars (international students & “the next big thing”) rather than thinking about what an educated Australia should look like” www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...
Universities such as mine are making poor decisions, and we’re not allowed to know why
UTS has announced a “pause” on enrolments in 100 courses. Vacating these critically important areas diminishes not only the brand of UTS but the state it was designed to benefit.

1st. Body size & reproduction. Larger fish have higher reproductive outputs than smaller fish and that this matters for fisheries management and the design of protected areas.

Fish reproductive-energy output increases disproportionately with body size
Reproduction does not scale linearly with body size in fish—bigger females produce many more offspring.

Our paper out today showing that larval crowding occurs in urban mosquito habitats and this crowding makes adult mosquitoes carry higher dengue viral loads. journals.plos.org/plosntds/art...
Larval crowding enhances dengue virus loads in Aedes aegypti, a relationship that might increase transmission in urban environments

The Why Are Cells The Size They Are workshop by @biologists.bsky.social was superb. The attendee list was exceptional and whole thing was inspiring. Chose a special conference to be my first for nearly three years.

The author argues ecologists are drawn to this approach because its automation makes it seem defensible. I agree but would add that to some, indecipherable complexity appears more robust, more science-y than honest simplicity. The opposite is usually but that’s human nature for you.

Why throwing all potential predictors into your model and letting it decide has, and always will, be bad for inference.

The next call for the MSCA postdoctoral fellowships scheme opens soon. Come work with me if you're interested in anything related to biodemography and population ecology. And if you're not, consider coming to work with one of my many fine colleagues instead.

Happy to share our new paper! We tested how species evolve in response to #competition. We tracked the evolution of 3 #phytoplankton species, evolved alone or together. Our main finding is that #density-dependence weakens through #evolution to increase population production. doi.org/10.1002/ece3...
Evolution Under Competition Increases Population Production by Reducing the Density‐Dependence of Net Energy Fluxes and Growth
Using experimental evolution, we determined the impact of intra- versus interspecific competition on three marine phytoplankton species. We found that the species achieved the same evolutionary outco....
