🪧 2 new articles from #TheGrackleProject!

🔍 Grackles who were #trained to be more #flexible were more #exploratory after the training than untrained grackles. This indicates that the more an individual investigates a novel object, the more it can learn and adapt its #behavior accordingly

✈️ Grackles in an edge #population disperse farther than those in a more central population. This suggests that the rapid geographic range expansion of great-tailed grackles is associated with individuals differentially expressing #dispersal behaviors

🗺️ These results suggest that flexibility, exploration, and dispersal are key traits involved in this species’ rapid expansion into new areas

💪 They started as #RegisteredReports @ #PCIEcology @PeerCommunityIn years ago! After lots of hard work from many collaborators (including @DieterLukas) they are now at the #diamondOA @PeerCommunityJournal 🎉

💪 These articles started off as #RegisteredReports at #PCIEcology and @pcirr @PeerCommunityIn years ago! This ensures that our research is of a high quality and that the results are robust

🎉 It is so exciting to see them now completed, and also at @PeerCommunityJournal

Of course, we published the data and code (with metadata), and even have the reproducible manuscripts (Rmarkdown files) where the text and code are written together so you can see exactly what code was used for which analysis or figure 💕

Articles: https://doi.org/10.24072/pcjournal.573 and https://doi.org/10.24072/pcjournal.582

Behavioral flexibility is related to foraging, but not social or habitat use behaviors, in a species that is rapidly expanding its range

Yay! My preprint about the statistical interest of fractal sampling designs to study spatial biodiversity patterns has just been recommended by E Goberville for #PCIEcology , after reviews from C.E. Marsh and N. Yoccoz. You may find the study there : https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.07.29.501974

@CorinaLogan @PeerCommunityIn Thank you for an awesome process! So grateful to you and #PCIEcology

@bbolker What I hear colleagues are doing to avoid those fees at the moment -- before we can launch the Journal of Statistical Ecology -- is to redirect stat ecology papers towards 1/ Subscription journals like #JABES or #EnvironmentalAndEcologicalStatistics and 2/ #PCIEcology / #PCIMathCompBiol (there will be a #EURING special issue in the Peer Community Journal whose peer-review process will be done through these two channels). So option 1/ for Green OA and 2/ for Diamond OA.
