I recently sat down with the awesome @oakleigh-wilson.bsky.social in the fourth instalment of @sortee.bsky.social’s ECR Asks.
We chatted code review, data editing, and the recent SORTEE-led publication about data and code-sharing policies.

🚨 Looking for motivated people to take over the organisation of the Ecology & Behaviour Conference 🚨
By young researchers, for young researchers: inclusive, international and free of charge
A rewarding adventure: we’ll be happy to guide and support the next team. Interested? Reach out soon!
Last time I saw one of those, it had been in the stomach of a Sable (flesh-footed) shearwater. Plastic sachets should also be banned.

*Special issue contribution*
Human disturbance and birds: recreational activities do not predict nest box occupancy in great tits, but individuals nesting in disturbed areas are more exploratory and have lower fitness.

Sadly, this is the last Evolution of Ageing workshop to be held with the Gutenberg series. It won’t be continuing next year!
🚨Session proposals for SEB 2026 are open.
We'd love to see some great conservation physiology sessions! 🦈🌲

Introducing "The SORTEE Guidelines for Data and Code Quality Control in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology"
The first standardised set of data editor guidelines. Led by SORTEE with input from numerous data editors across ecology and evolution.

Understanding the effects of extreme environments on wildlife #Ecology & #Physiology is essential for #Conservation. This review examines the ecophysiology of animals in extreme environments & identifies important knowledge gaps.

🚨Introducing the @sortee.bsky.social Guidelines for Data and Code Quality Control in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology🚨 doi.org/10.32942/X24...
Increasingly E&E journals are recruiting data editors. We provide standardised guidelines for journals with data editors and those wanting to recruit them 🧵
I usually tell people that *so far*, habitat loss, not climate change, has been the major driver of bird population declines... but now we're starting to get analyses directly connecting bird declines to extreme weather events fueled by climate change. 🪶 theconversation.com/70-years-of-...
🚨 Proceedings B is recruiting new Data Editors!
Join our editorial board to help ensure data/code transparency across biology.

It shows how complex (and sometimes brutal) parenthood can be!

"TADA! Simple guidelines to improve code sharing"

We present simple guidelines to help researchers of all coding levels improve the transparency and reproducibility of their analytical code, TADA!
Transferable, Accessible, Documented, Annotated.
In the #Anthropocene, species face multiple, severe stressors which may be anticipated to interact in harmful ways.
This #Perspective explores a more hopeful alternative: that stressors interact in a cross-protective manner.
