Navigating morphometric minefields: Modelling heteroscedasticity in length‐conversion modelsNARA Subscribed
A common problem when combining data on species' traits from multiple sources is that researchers often measure the same trait in different ways. For example, the length of a shark can be measured in a straight‐line or over‐the‐body, and for lengths that include the tail (e.g., fork and total lengths), with the tail in ‘stretched’ or ‘natural’ position. Statistical models comparing one variant to another can be used to standar...
Periodical cicada ( Magicicada spp.) ranges have continued to decline even as their habitat has rebounded from historic lows. This counterintuitive trajectory may be a consequence of Magicicada 's limited dispersal capabilities combined with their requirement that individual host trees survive across decades. Indeed, we find that the presence of Magicicada breeding populations is best predicted by tree cover in 1930, not by pr...
