Zipkin Lab

We are working hard to making our #research #open #transparent and #reproducible. Take a look at our #CodeArchive to see what we've been up to: zipkinlab.github.io

@n_a_gilbert Love it!

planning on using this as my faculty photo for the next 30 years

And one of the youngest RAs hard at work!

Sharing some of the results from earlier collaborations with ⁦@MaraHyenas⁩ and talking science with the awesome RAs at camp! ⁦@EEB_MSU⁩ ⁦@MSUNatSci⁩

PhD Student in @MichiganStateFW Veronica Frans (@VFFrans) and MSU Faculty member Jianguo “Jack” Liu recently had research published in @NatureEcoEvo. @EEB_MSU

Thanks to @janawoerner and @marahyenas for an amazing opportunity to learn about the truly awesome hyena research in the Maasai Mara #kenya #safarilife @EEB_MSU

New paper out now in @ESAEcology! 😍 A multispecies hierarchical model to integrate count and distance-sampling data Multiple species, multiple datasets, and ONE model to bind them! This was a challenging project & I learned a ton esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

@zinan_wang @universityofky Congrats Zinan!!

I am thrilled to announce that I will join @universityofky as an assistant professor in the Department of Entomology starting fall 2024. My lab will focus on the physiological adaptation of diverse arthropod species. (1/3)

@javi_ferlop @jeffdoser18 @MethodsEcolEvol What a fun idea!! That’s pretty cool!

spAbundance package (by @jeffdoser18 @ZipkinLab) is already published at @MethodsEcolEvol! It fits a wide variety of single/multispecies abundance models using MCMC and Bayesian Inference allowing also for hierarchical frameworks. Let me show you a funny example 🧵👇(1/6) #rstats

From drones to DNA, ecologists today use tools that would be unrecognizable to scientists 100 yrs ago—and the same is true of their statistics! Announcing "100 Years of Statistical Ecology," a Collection of landmark @ESAEcology papers Read the release: esa.org/blog/2024/05/1…

@RileyPizza Congrats Riley!

Check out our new piece on the history of statistical ecology and the role that @ESAEcology has played This was a fun (and challenging!) paper to write - we learned a lot! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Thrilled to share our new paper in @MethodsEcolEvol that introduces the spAbundance R package for fitting a variety of single-species and multi-species spatially explicit abundance models! doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

It’s finally published! “Deep biogeographic barriers explain divergent global vertebrate communities”, published in @NatureComms with @BrodieEcology & @ZipkinLab #biogeography #macroecology doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

ISEC 2024 will feature also great roundtable discussions, such as: "Developing pipelines for integrated distribution models" "What are the key statistical methods and concepts all [undergraduate] ecologists should learn?" Join us! #ISEC_2024_Swansea statisticalecology.org

Here are the titles of the ISEC 2024 Plenary Talks - super exciting! #ISEC_2024_Swansea

We are excited to share our new @Trends_Ecol_Evo article, where we identify demographic gaps in the authorship of peer review bias research, and touch on some potential solutions to this problem authors.elsevier.com/a/1ikvecZ3X04gL (a🧵)

Recruiting postdoc(s) for my lab at Michigan State next year! Come join us careers.msu.edu/en-us/job/5178…

Congrats, Veronica!!! @EEB_MSU

ISEC 2024 15-19 July in Swansea - do not miss it! More info here: ststisticalecoloy.org

I'm excited to share that I published a first version of my Statistics 4 Ecologists book with University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. You can now download a (FREE) pdf version of the book here: conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/2…
