    • dalmatian: A Package for Fitting Double Hierarchical Linear Models in R via JAGS and nimble 

      Bonner, Simon; Mutzel, Ariane; Kim, Han-Na; Westneat, David F.; Wright, Jonathan; Schofield, Matthew (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Traditional regression models, including generalized linear mixed models, focus on understanding the deterministic factors that affect the mean of a response variable. Many biological studies seek to understand non-deterministic ...

    • Describing posterior distributions of variance components: Problems and the use of null distributions to aid interpretation 

      Pick, Joel; Kasper, Claudia; Allegue, Hassen; Dingemanse, Niels J.; Dochtermann, Ned A.; Laskowski, Kate L.; Lima, Marcos R.; Schielzeth, Holger; Westneat, David F.; Wright, Jonathan; Araya Ajoy, Yimen Gerardo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      1. Assessing the biological relevance of variance components estimated using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based mixed-effects models is not straightforward. Variance estimates are constrained to be greater than zero and ...

    • The effect of climate change on avian offspring production: A global meta-analysis 

      Halupka, Lucyna; Arlt, Debora; Tolvanen, Jere; Millon, Alexandre; Bize, Pierre; Adamík, Peter; Albert, Pascal; Arendt, Wayne J.; Artemyev, Alexander V.; Baglione, Vittorio; Bańbura, Jerzy; Bańbura, Mirosława; Barba, Emilio; Barrett, Robert; Becker, Peter H.; Belskii, Eugen; Bolton, Mark; Bowers, E Keith; Bried, Joël; Brouwer, Lyanne; Bukacińska, Monika; Bukaciński, Dariusz; Bulluck, Lesley; Carstens, Kate F.; Catry, Inês; Charter, Motti; Chernomorets, Anna; Covas, Rita; Czuchra, Monika; Dearborn, Donald C.; de Lope, Florentino; Di Giacomo, Adrián S; Dombrovski, Valery C.; Drummond, Hugh; Dunn, Michael J.; Eeva, Tapio; Emmerson, Louise M.; Espmark, Yngve; Fargallo, Juan A.; Gashkov, Sergey I.; Golubova, Elena Yu; Griesser, Michael; Harris, Michael P.; Hoover, Jeffrey P.; Jagiełło, Zuzanna; Karell, Patrik; Kloskowski, Janusz; Koenig, Walter D.; Kolunen, Heikki; Korczak-Abshire, Małgorzata; Korpimäki, Erkki; Krams, Indrikis; Krist, Miloš; Krüger, Sonja C.; Kuranov, Boris D.; Lambin, Xavier; Lombardo, Michael P.; Lyakhov, Andrey; Marzal, Alfonso; Møller, Anders P.; Neves, Verónica C; Nielsen, Jan Tøttrup; Numerov, Alexander; Orłowska, Beata; Oro, Daniel; Öst, Markus; Phillips, Richard A.; Pietiäinen, Hannu; Polo, Vicente; Porkert, Jiří; Potti, Jaime; Pöysä, Hannu; Printemps, Thierry; Prop, Jouke; Quillfeldt, Petra; Ramos, Jaime A.; Ravussin, Pierre-Alain; Rosenfield, Robert N.; Roulin, Alexandre; Rubenstein, Dustin R.; Samusenko, Irina E.; Saunders, Denis A.; Schaub, Michael; Senar, Juan C.; Sergio, Fabrizio; Solonen, Tapio; Solovyeva, Diana V.; Stępniewski, Janusz; Thompson, Paul M.; Tobolka, Marcin; Török, János; van de Pol, Martijn; Vernooij, Louis; Visser, Marcel E.; Westneat, David F.; Wheelwright, Nathaniel T.; Wiącek, Jarosław; Wiebe, Karen; Wood, Andrew G.; Wuczyński, Andrzej; Wysocki, Dariusz; Zárybnická, Markéta; Margalida, Antoni; Halupka, Konrad (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Climate change affects timing of reproduction in many bird species, but few studies have investigated its influence on annual reproductive output. Here, we assess changes in the annual production of young by female breeders ...

    • Experimental manipulation of brood size affects several levels of phenotypic variance in offspring and parent pied flycatchers 

      Westneat, David F.; Mutzel, Ariane; Bonner, Simon; Wright, Jonathan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Parental provisioning of offspring should reflect selection on life history aspects of parenting and on foraging behavior. Life history and foraging theory generally make predictions about mean behavior, but some circumstances ...

    • Provisioning tactics of great tits (Parus major) in response to long-term brood size manipulations differ across years 

      Mathot, Kimberley J; Olsen, Anne-Lise; Mutzel, Ariane; Araya-Ajoy, Yimen; Nicolaus, Marion; Westneat, David F.; Wright, Jonathan; Kempenaers, Bart; Dingemanse, Niels J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Parents provisioning their offspring can adopt different tactics to meet increases in offspring demand. In this study, we experimentally manipulated brood demand in free living great tits (Parus major) via brood size ...

    • Robustness of linear mixed-effects models to violations of distributional assumptions 

      Schielzeth, Holger; Dingemanse, Niels J.; Nakagawa, Shinichi; Westneat, David F.; Allegue, Hassen; Teplitsky, Céline; Réale, Denis; Dochtermann, Ned A.; Garamszegi, László Zsolt; Araya-Ajoy, Yimen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Linear mixed-effects models are powerful tools for analysing complex datasets with repeated or clustered observations, a common data structure in ecology and evolution. Mixed-effects models involve complex fitting procedures ...
