Four #principles for improved #statistical #ecology

#OpenAccess
@MethodsEcolEvol

"(1) define a focussed #ResearchQuestion, then plan #sampling and #analysis to answer it; (2) develop a #model that accounts for the #distribution and #dependence of your #data; (3) emphasise #EffectSizes to replace #StatisticalSignificance with #EcologicalRelevance; and (4) report your #methods and #findings in sufficient detail so that your research is valid and #reproducible"

How much #cultural #variation around the globe is explained by #ecology?

"Results suggest that, on average, ecology explains a substantial amount of #human cultural variation above and beyond #spatial and #cultural #autocorrelation. The amount of variation explained depended on the metrics used, with current levels and average levels of ecological conditions explaining the greatest amounts of variance in human culture on average (16% and 20%, respectively)"
