Knowing when to draw the line: designing more informative ecological experiments

Kathryn L. Cottingham, Jay T. Lennon, and Bryan L. Brown (2005) Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment. Shared because I think ecologists would be in a much better position to make predictions when it comes to climate change if we hadn’t spent the last 30 years doing ANOVAs and because the title is delightfully punny.

PHENOCAM

Today I learned about PHENOCAM, a network of cameras set up in forests around the world keeping track of phenology. Click on a pointer on the map to see what a particular forest is doing right now!

Using MAXENT?

MAXENT is exactly mathematically equivalent to a Poisson regression.

I got a number out, but what does it mean?
