Alfredo Sánchez-TójarAlthough methods for meta-analyzing differences in variance between groups have been available for several years (e.g., <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/jeb.13661" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1111/jeb.13661</a>), researchers still seem reluctant to adopt them widely. Here we show an easier alternative to meta-analyze variances across species. <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/metaanalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metaanalysis</a>

Alfredo Sánchez-TójarIn our latest preprint, we showcase how to use a phylogenetic meta-analysis of variance to test evolutionary hypotheses across species.We collected data for 172 birds (314 populations) to test patterns of stabilising selection and canalisation for wing length.🔗 <a href="https://doi.org/10.32942/X2PG92" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.32942/X2PG92</a><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/metaanalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metaanalysis</a>

The Conversation U.S.Nearly 90% of educators support matching instruction to students' learning styles, but researchers are skeptical.

Dr. John Barentine FRASI have great respect for our colleagues who carry on with research and extension even in the most challenging conditions. As an example, here's a recent paper including "list of measures to reduce the level of light pollution carried out in <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a>".<a href="https://ujoh.org/light-pollution-from-led-lighting-systems-and-ways-of-reducing-its-environmental-consequences" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ujoh.org/light-pollution-from-led-lighting-systems-and-ways-of-reducing-its-environmental-consequences</a><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/DarkSkies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkSkies</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/LightPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LightPollution</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/MetaAnalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MetaAnalysis</a>

Wolfgang ViechtbauerOur meta-analysis on the impact of neonicotinoids on birds is out at Ecology Letters: <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ele.14534" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ele.14534</a>A massive effort by my co-authors putting together such a comprehensive dataset (1612 effect sizes from 49 studies). The results unfortunately show consistent negative effects of neonicotinoid exposure on bird health, behaviour, reproduction, and survival and might be a contributing factor to the extensive bird declines globally.<a href="https://scholar.social/tags/MetaAnalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MetaAnalysis</a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Birds</a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/Neonicotinoids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neonicotinoids</a>

Tom Jewell<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/MetaAnalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MetaAnalysis</a> question - help much appreciated!The Cochrane manual says that for metaregression sample size, "at least ten observations (i.e. ten studies in a meta-analysis) should be available for each characteristic modelled".Let's say you wanted to conduct a meta-regression for a categorical variable, for which all studies are coded either X or Y. Is the minimum number of studies needed:A) 10 in total B) At least 10 studies coded X or Y (whichever is least frequent)Many thanks!
