Journal ArticleDOI

The arcsine is asinine: the analysis of proportions in ecology

TL;DR: It is argued that the arcsine transform should not be used in either binomial or non-binomial data, and the logit transformation is proposed as an alternative approach to address these issues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant functional traits have globally consistent effects on competition

TL;DR: Traits generate trade-offs between performance with competition versus performance without competition, a fundamental ingredient in the classical hypothesis that the coexistence of plant species is enabled via differentiation in their successional strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

So Many Variables: Joint Modeling in Community Ecology.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the potential of a new class of multivariate models for ecology to specify a statistical model for abundances jointly across many taxa, to simultaneously explore interactions across taxa and the response of abundance to environmental variables, and discusses recent computation tools and future directions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comprehensive evaluation of predictive performance of 33 species distribution models at species and community levels

TL;DR: This work compared the predictive performance of 33 variants of 15 widely applied and recently emerged species distribution model approaches in the context of multispecies data, including both joint SDMs that model multiple species together, and stacked SDM that model each species individually combining the predictions afterward.
Journal ArticleDOI

boral – Bayesian Ordination and Regression Analysis of Multivariate Abundance Data in r

TL;DR: Boral as mentioned in this paper is a package available on cran for model-based analysis of multivariate abundance data, with estimation performed using Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, incorporating latent variables as a parsimonious method of modelling between species correlation.
