In search of the best methods for multivariate selection analysis
Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 5 Số 10 - Trang 1095-1109 - 2014
SummaryRegression is an important method for characterizing the form of natural
selection from individual‐based data. Many kinds of regression analysis exist,
but few are regularly employed in studies of natural selection. I provide an
overview of some of the main underused types of regression analysis by applying
them to test analyses of viability selection for lamb traits in Soay sheep (Ovis

The noise egg: a cheap and simple device to produce low‐frequency underwater noise for laboratory and field experiments
Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 268-274 - 2017
Summary Studying the effect of anthropogenic noise on animal behaviour and
physiology is a field of growing scientific and management interest.
Anthropogenic noise is internationally seen as major environmental concern, but
knowledge of the response of animals to noise and its ecological and
evolutionary consequences is disparate. Even though fish and invertebrates form
the majority of aquatic tax...
Particle motion: the missing link in underwater acoustic ecology
Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 7 Số 7 - Trang 836-842 - 2016
Summary Sound waves in water have both a pressure and a particle‐motion
component, yet few studies of underwater acoustic ecology have measured the
particle‐motion component of sound. While mammal hearing is based on detection
of sound pressure, fish and invertebrates (i.e. most aquatic animals) primarily
sense sound using particle motion. Particle motion can be calculated indirectly
from sound pr...
Diet tracing in ecology: Method comparison and selection
Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 9 Số 2 - Trang 278-291 - 2018
Abstract Determining diet is a key prerequisite for understanding species
interactions, food web structure and ecological dynamics. In recent years, there
has been considerable development in both the methodology and application of
novel and more traditional dietary tracing methods, yet there is no
comprehensive synthesis that systematically and quantitatively compares the
different approaches. He...
Distance‐based multivariate analyses confound location and dispersion effects
Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 89-101 - 2012
Summary1. A critical property of count data is its mean–variance relationship,
yet this is rarely considered in multivariate analysis in ecology.2. This study
considers what is being implicitly assumed about the mean–variance relationship
in distance‐based analyses – multivariate analyses based on a matrix of pairwise
distances – and what the effect is of any misspecification of the mean–variance

Sampling period, size and duration influence measures of bat species richness from acoustic surveys
Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 490-502 - 2012
Summary1. Understanding animal ecology depends on an ability to accurately
inventory species. However, there are few quantitative data available, which
allow for an assessment of the effectiveness of acoustic sampling methods for
determining bat species richness.2. We assessed inventory efficiency, defined
as the percentage of species detected per survey effort, using data from 7 to 9
Anabat bat...
Methods for normalizing microbiome data: An ecological perspective
Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 10 Số 3 - Trang 389-400 - 2019
Abstract Microbiome sequencing data often need to be normalized due to
differences in read depths, and recommendations for microbiome analyses
generally warn against using proportions or rarefying to normalize data and
instead advocate alternatives, such as upper quartile, CSS, edgeR‐TMM, or
DESeq‐VS. Those recommendations are, however, based on studies that focused on
differential abundance testi...
Use of RN ase H‐dependent PCR for discrimination and detection of closely related species from environmental DNA
Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 10 Số 7 - Trang 1091-1096 - 2019
Abstract Species‐specific, probe‐based quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays are now
commonly used to detect aquatic species from environmental DNA. However,
probe‐based qPCR alone does not always provide the specificity needed to
distinguish closely related, congeneric species, which may result in
amplification of non‐target DNA, causing false positives from eDNA samples.
Here, we developed species‐spec...
Maxent is not a presence–absence method: a comment on Thibaud et al.
Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 5 Số 11 - Trang 1192-1197 - 2014
Summary Thibaud et al. (Methods in Ecology and Evolution 2014) present a
framework for simulating species and evaluating the relative effects of factors
affecting the predictions from species distribution models (SDMs). They
demonstrate their approach by generating presence–absence data sets for
different simulated species and analysing them using four modelling methods:
three presence–absence met...
