Statistical Modeling for Naturalists is out!!!
This book aims to help naturalists, field ecologists, and graduate students appreciate and comprehend statistical concepts relevant to the field practitioner. The book uses aspects of the natural history of the Florida scrub to explore the decision-making process faced when building statistical models.

Haoyu Li’s MS research (Multiple spatial scales affect direct and indirect interactions between a non-native and a native species) is now published in Plant Ecology. Congrats, Haoyu!
Dave and coauthors (Betsey Boughton, Andy Bohonak, Reed Noss, Marie Simovich, Ellen Bauder) have a paper published at Global Ecology and Conservation entitled “Indicator-species and coarse-filter approaches in conservation appear insufficient alone” and available open-access here
We have a paper published and open access at Ecology & Evolution: “Biogeography and predictors of wildlife killed on roads at peninsular Florida State Parks.” This arises from our Biogeography course, and includes students as co-authors (like other such efforts here and here).
Juan’s first chapter from his dissertation was accepted in Scientific Reports:
Bogotá-Gregory J, F Lima, S Correa, C Silva Oliveira, DG Jenkins, F Ribeiro, N Lovejoy, R Reis, W Crampton. Biogeochemical water type influences community composition, species richness, and biomass in megadiverse Amazonian fish assemblages.
Leo’s paper in Ecology is getting some press attention.
Dave’s paper with colleagues entitled “Global human ‘predation’ on plant growth and biomass” is now online at Global Ecology & Biogeography. Now the lab can stop hearing about the “man eats world” paper. Oh, but there’s a sequel.
Update: it is now assigned to an issue: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/geb.13087
Dave & Pedro have a paper published in PLoS One entitled “A solution to minimum sample size for regressions” – see it here
