Commentary on Stull et al.: Considering person-specific heterogeneity when modeling time-varying trends

Marilyn L. Piccirillo, Katherine T. Foster

Summary: Time-varying effect modeling (TVEM) is an important statistical method for modeling nonlinear, dynamic processes. However, TVEM only models the average-level process for the focal effect. Given the person-specific heterogeneity in addiction- and recovery-related processes, we encourage researchers to model nonparametric and nonergodic change to advance our understanding of how, when, and for whom change occurs.

Is there evidence for cross-domain congruency sequence effect? A replication of Kan et al. (2013)

Balazs Aczel, Marton Kovacs, Miklos Bognar, Bence Palfi, Andree Hartanto, Sandersan Onie, Lucas E. Tiong, Thomas Rhys Evans

Summary: Research on cognitive control mechanisms and conflict resolution is important, but previous studies on the domain-generality of the congruency sequence effect have inconsistent results. In a multi-site replication study, partial support for the original research was found, but most of the original findings could not be replicated, with data either inconclusive or against the theoretical hypothesis. Compatibility of the results with alternative theoretical frameworks was discussed.

Trends in training progression: response to the study by Silkens et al

Vivienne Curtis, Kate Lovett

Summary: Recruitment and retention are major concerns in the field of medicine. Improving recruitment to UK specialty training programs does not directly translate into increasing senior workforce capacity, which remains dependent on trainee progression. The study suggests a need for broad changes in career approaches, including reducing differential attainment, recognizing a range of unique trainee needs, and developing a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion.

Comment on Moist Static Energy Transport Trends in Four Global Reanalyses: Are They Downgradient? by Clark et al. (2022)

Tyler Cox, Aaron Donohoe, Kyle C. Armour, Dargan M. W. Frierson, Gerard H. Roe

Summary: Given the key role of atmospheric heat transport in Earth's climate system, documenting its changes over the satellite era is valuable. Clark et al. (2022) found significant discrepancies in trends of atmospheric heat transport among four reanalysis data sets. However, accounting for mass-conservation issues in reanalysis data sets revealed smaller magnitude trends and better agreement among the reanalyses. This highlights the importance of mass corrections in calculating atmospheric heat transport.

A response to Justen et al. 2020: Estimating hybridization rates in the wild: Easier said than done?

Geoffrey E. Hill, Nicholas M. Justyn

Summary: Estimating per-individual rates of hybridization in wild birds involves challenges related to the definition of hybrid, distinguishing between shared DNA sequences and ongoing hybridization, the dangers of focusing only on known hybrid zones, and the implications of very low rates of per individual hybridization. Recognizing hybrids based on phenotype, quantifying ongoing between-species mating, and not prejudging which birds are presumed to engage in hybridization are important considerations in this field. Additionally, evidence for strong prezygotic sorting does not necessarily indicate that mate choice drives speciation.

Reply to Comment on Moist Static Energy Transport Trends in Four Global Reanalyses: Are They Downgradient? by Clark et al. (2022)

Joseph P. Clark, Steven B. Feldstein, Sukyoung Lee

Summary: This study examines whether the reanalysis moist static energy (MSE) transport trends are consistent with the downgradient transport trends found in climate models. It is found that the MSE transport trends depend on the reanalysis dataset, but this dependence is reduced when a barotropic mass flux correction is applied. However, even after the correction, the reanalysis MSE transport trends are not consistent with the models' predictions.

Discussion of Assessing temporal complementarity between three variable energy sources through correlation and compromise programming FA Canales et al. Energy 192 (2020) 116637

Erik Jonasson, Jakub Jurasz, Fausto A. Canales, Irina Temiz

Summary: This paper discusses a novel method of assessing complementarity between three variable energy sources using correlation, compromise programming, and normalization. The method calculates a complementarity index which is applied to a case study in Poland. However, the normalization of the index overestimates the complementarity potential, which is discussed in detail, and an alternative way of calculating the index is proposed to eliminate this issue.

No statistical evidence that honey bees competitively reduced wild bee abundance in the Munich Botanic Garden-a comment on Renner et al. (2021)

Lawrence D. Harder, Ronald M. Miksha

Summary: Based on the study by Renner et al., the increase in density of managed honey-bee hives did not lead to intensified competitive effects of honey bees on non-Apis bee species in the Munich Botanic Garden. Instead, changes in the proportion of non-Apis bees among visitors between years were likely a response to reduced overall availability of floral resources in 2020.

Summary: The study found that biomass production in drylands is more vulnerable to changes in precipitation variability and grazing intensities in relatively moist and productive rangelands than in dry and unproductive ones. The results showed that biomass was negatively correlated with grazing intensity and positively correlated with species richness, with different responses between years due to variable precipitation. Additionally, different plant functional groups had contrasting responses to grazing and precipitation.

Summary: Population genetic and ecological data can aid in controlling invasive plants, which may have high genetic diversity due to extensive propagule pressure. Genetic analysis of invasive Spiraea tomentosa populations in Germany and Poland revealed high genetic diversity and structure, with populations spreading through sexual reproduction over 13 years. Despite negative effects on native plant diversity, invasive Spiraea populations in forest habitats may decline with increased canopy cover.

A cost-effective method to monitor vegetation changes in steppes ecosystems: A case study on remote sensing of fire and infrastructure effects in eastern Mongolia

Batnyambuu Dashpurev, Karsten Wesche, Yun Jaeschke, Khurelpurev Oyundelger, Thanh Noi Phan, Joerg Bendix, Lukas W. Lehnert

Summary: The study used machine learning and multiple image data to analyze the spatial distribution of plant functional groups in the eastern steppes of Mongolia. The results showed that the overall accuracies of UAV classification were 91-95%, while those of PlanetScope were 78-95%. Integrating UAV data into PlanetScope data effectively minimized the scale issue that often hinders classification. The findings revealed that wildfires impact the composition of plant functional groups and increasing bare ground cover leads to diverse and patchy mosaic of vegetation types.

Phylogeography of Artemisia frigida (Anthemideae, Asteraceae) based on genotyping-by-sequencing and plastid DNA data: Migration through Beringia

Khurelpurev Oyundelger, Doerte Harpke, Veit Herklotz, Elena Troeva, Zhenzhen Zheng, Zheng Li, Batlai Oyuntsetseg, Viktoria Wagner, Karsten Wesche, Christiane M. Ritz

Summary: Artemisia frigida originated in Asia, spread northwards to the Far East and then to North America, showing genetic differentiation and polyploidy variation among different geographic populations. Two populations in Kazakhstan are the most likely ancestral diploids, with subsequent polyploidization occurring independently multiple times. Paleoclimatic fluctuations may have had a more profound impact on the spatial genetic structure and distribution of A. frigida than current environmental conditions, as revealed by weak correlations between genetic distance, geographical distance, and climatic conditions.
