Re: [ECOLOG-L] Bayesian inference in ecology/biology

[David Schneider]

Hello Jorge,
See also the special issue in Ecology

Ecological Applications, 6(4), 1996, pp. 1036-1094

Ellison and Dixon make the case for Bayesian to
(a) make better use of pre-existing data; (b) allow stronger
conclusions to be drawn from large-scale experiments with few 
replicates;

and (c) be more relevant to environmental  decision-making.

They clearly prefer evidence based priors (a, above).
As to environmental decision making (c), that occurs in the
policy arena, where it is up to us as scientists to make the
best case on evidence. And insists on evidence, as in medical
practice.

Good luck,
David S

Speaking of being careful, you have to be a *really astute*

In my experience Bayesian analysis makes sense with a
monitoring program, where we have evidence based priors.
In fisheries research we have annual surveys and we have
*lots* of subjective priors to
deal with, to which Bayesian has an answer.

I think Bayesian makes sense in an activity such as NEON,
National Ecological Observatory Network, where I did
Bayesian workshop in R.

The computational details require substantial
computer resources (MCMC, look it up) to "burn in" the choice
of distributional assumptions.

The differences in opinion within the Bayesian camp
can be as intense as the Fisher vs Neyman-Pearson wars
in the frequentist camp in the last century.

In the end though, the way we think, as humans, is Bayesian,
working from subjective priors.  The question is- what is the role
of Bayesian thinking in science, a public activity.

has more flexible funding, and could support projects related to competition 
and coexistence, plant-animal interactions, and global change ecology. Both 
positions could support either MS or PhD students. To apply, please email me

[ECOLOG-L] Seeking Master's students in evolutionary ecology

[Casey terHorst]

The Eco-Evo Lab at California State University, Northridge invites
applications from undergraduates interested in pursuing a Master’s of
Science in Biology. In particular, we are seeking a M.S. student to work on
an NSF-funded project that examines the limits to strong effects of
evolution on contemporary ecological interactions. The student will help to
perform selection experiments on microcosms of protozoa consumers and their
bacterial prey that live inside of carnivorous pitcher plants. We are
examining how dispersal and gene flow may alter the evolution of protozoa
traits, and how these effects may cascade down to affect bacterial prey
diversity and community structure.



In general, research in our lab focuses on the interface between ecological
and evolutionary processes. We address how rapid evolution affects species
interactions, such as competition, predation, and mutualism. We are also
interested in how interactions among multiple species in natural
communities affect selection on traits and evolutionary trajectories.



Research in the lab encompasses a variety of study systems, including (1)
microbial communities of protists and bacteria that live inside carnivorous
pitcher plants, (2) symbiotic algae associated with coral reef organisms,
and (3) invasive plant species in California grasslands. Students are
encouraged to develop their own independent research projects. More
information is available at http://www.ecoevolab.com

The Eco-Evo lab is committed to fostering diversity in STEM. The student
will serve as a mentor and role model to undergraduate students that are
underrepresented in the field of ecology. CSUN is a Hispanic-Serving
Institution and an Asian-American-Pacific Islander-Serving Institution.
Women and members of underrepresented groups in ecology are especially
encouraged to apply.

Northridge is located in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles and
provides access to many different natural habitats. The location is within
a short commute of Santa Monica and Hollywood. The Biology program at CSUN
has a reputation of turning out excellent Master’s students who often
continue on to top-tier Ph.D. programs. CSUN was recently recognized by
*Nature* as one of the top 25 Rising Institutions for Research in North
America. Our interactive group combines faculty and students from the
Ecology & Evolution program, the Marine Biology program, and the
Microbiology program (http://www.csun.edu/science-mathematics/biology).

Previous research experience and a passion for answering scientific
questions will strengthen candidates’ applications. Interested students
should contact Casey terHorst (casey.terho...@csun.edu). In your email,
please describe your research interests, any previous research experience,
and your career goals. Include a CV or resume, if possible. Formal
applications to the department are due on February 15, 2019, but interested
students should contact me this Fall semester 2018.

[ECOLOG-L] Postdoctoral fellowships: Arctic ecosystems

[David Inouye]

*Two Postdoctoral Fellowships *(2 years each) in *Arctic ecosystems 
ecology / plant-ecophysiology / microbial ecology *are available in 
Abisko at the Climate Impacts Research Centre of the Department of 
Ecology and Environmental Science, Umeå University, north Sweden, to 
study the *off-seasonal dynamics of plant and soil microbial 
processes in arctic ecosystems*. Climate change in the Arctic is 
especially pronounced during autumn, winter and spring, including 
increases in temperature, changes in snow fall/cover and rain-on-snow 
events. Such off-seasonal changes in climate can affect the carbon 
balance of arctic ecosystems and the underlying plant and soil microbial 
processes but the extent remains unclear. We are looking for two 
postdoctoral fellows to to investigate how changes in the timing, 
frequency and extent of winter freezing conditions, as well as the 
timing of spring and autumn, affects the (off-)seasonal dynamics of 
plant and microbial processes in arctic ecosystems. See further:
