A brief introduction to mixed effects modelling and multi-model inference in ecology.

TL;DR: This overview should serve as a widely accessible code of best practice for applying LMMs to complex biological problems and model structures, and in doing so improve the robustness of conclusions drawn from studies investigating ecological and evolutionary questions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marine renewable energy: potential benefits to biodiversity? An urgent call for research

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that if appropriately managed and designed, MREI may increase local biodiversity and potentially benefit the wider marine environment, and they suggest that conflicts should be minimized by integrating key stakeholders into the design, siting, construction and operational phases of the installations, and by providing clear evidence of their potential environmental benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast-slow continuum and reproductive strategies structure plant life-history variation worldwide.

TL;DR: The found that life-history strategies of 418 plant species worldwide are explained by an axis representing the pace of life and another representing the wide range of reproductive strategies, suggesting that the relative independence of the fast–slow and reproduction strategy axes is general in the plant kingdom.
Journal ArticleDOI

The compadre Plant Matrix Database: an open online repository for plant demography

TL;DR: The compadre Plant Matrix Database version 3.0 is introduced, an open‐source online repository containing 468 studies from 598 species world‐wide, with a total of 5621 matrices, a similarly data‐rich and ecologically relevant resource for plant demography.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolution of body size under environmental gradients in ectotherms: why should Bergmann's rule apply to lizards?

TL;DR: Investigation of Bergmann's rule in the six main clades forming the Liolaemus genus, one of the largest and most environmentally diverse genera of terrestrial vertebrates, shows that none of the studied clades experience increasing body size with increasing latitude and elevation.
