In a recent editorial, the Editors-in-Chief of Journal of Experimental Biology argued that
consensus building, data sharing, and better integration across disciplines are needed to …

Although examples of successful applications of behavioral ecology research to policy and
management exist, knowledge generated from such research is in many cases under …

We surveyed 807 researchers (494 ecologists and 313 evolutionary biologists) about their
use of Questionable Research Practices (QRPs), including cherry picking statistically …

Research synthesis, such as comparative and meta‐analyses, requires the extraction of
effect sizes from primary literature, which are commonly calculated from descriptive statistics …

Field ecology has been included in a 'replication crisis' that extends across many scientific
disciplines. However, the underlying concepts of replication, reproducibility and replicability …

Many animal social structures are organized hierarchically, with some individuals
monopolizing resources. Dominance hierarchies have received great attention from …

This living paper has been updated on a weekly basis until mid-September. Due to the huge
amount of information published by that time, it had become more and more difficult to …

The status signalling hypothesis aims to explain within-species variation in ornamentation
by suggesting that some ornaments signal dominance status. Here, we use multilevel meta …

Extracting data from studies is the norm in meta‐analyses, enabling researchers to generate
effect sizes when raw data are otherwise not available. While there has been a general push …

Reproducibility is integral to science, but difficult to achieve. Previous research has
quantified low rates of data availability and results reproducibility across the biological and …
