it in an analysis in which the response variable is in abundance categories (e.g., 0, 1-10, 11-25..., etc.) and we want to compare two different treatments. For these data, we don't think it would be appropriate to just use the midpoint of the range. Mark Dixon -- Hal Caswell Senior Scientist

Re: [ECOLOG-L] do citations matter in ecology effect size databank

sizes in studies of uninteresting problems aren't likely to be cited. Even small effect sizes in studies of important issues are likely to get cited. Why the prediction that rational citation behavior should correlate with effect size? Hal Caswell On 10/3/12 6:26 PM, Chris Lortie wrote: Dear

Re: [ECOLOG-L] estimating distance between points from density?

relative to density, this would work, but it wouldn't give you what the bees are actually experiencing. For that, you would need more detailed spatial distribution information. Hal Caswell PS --- distances from a random point to the nearest plant are not the same as distances from a random plant
