Re: [ECOLOG-L] Are reviews anonymous?

I highly recommend everyone take a look at a related page Charles Fox has: http://www.uky.edu/~cfox/PeerReview/Index.htm There are some very amusing quotes on his page. Ned -- Ned Dochtermann Department of Biology University of Nevada, Reno 775-784-6781 docht...@unr.nevada.edu

Re: [ECOLOG-L] an example of a false correlation

testing a priori causal hypotheses. Next time someone asserts correlation doesn't demonstrate causation ask them when the last time was that they used regression. The ensuing argument can be quite amusing. Ned Dochtermann -- Ned Dochtermann Department of Biology University of Nevada, Reno 775

Re: [ECOLOG-L] an example of a false correlation

In that case I'd argue that your use of path analysis was essentially exploratory in nature and thus would carry with it the same sort of caveats as any exploratory analysis whether conducted using regression (e.g. step-wise regression) or any other exploratory analysis. Ned Dochtermann -- Ned

Re: EVOLUTION Behavior Re: current natural selection pressures

. Can multilevel selection occur? Most certainly. How common it is remains a different issue, which like the prevalence (or not) of sympatric speciation, may in part be due to the assumptions made in our statistical tests and how we frame questions. Ned Dochtermann
