In “Cryptic” Population Dynamics, Absence of Evidence Is Not Evidence of Absence
1838 When the populations of two species oscillate together, it's a good bet that they are tightly coupled ecologically. Most often, these oscillations occur between predator and prey (or a pathogen and its host), as demonstrated by the famous case of the Canadian lynx and snowshoe hare, documented in the trapping records of the Hudson's Bay Company. This makes sense—as the predator depletes th...
متن کاملAbsence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Randomized controlled clinical trials are conducted to determine whether differences of clinical importance exist between selected treatment regimens. When statistical analysis of the study data finds a P value greater than 5%, it is convention to deem the assessed difference nonsignificant. Just because convention dictates that such study findings be termed nonsignificant, or negative, howev...
متن کاملThe effects of landscape fragmentation on pollination dynamics: absence of evidence not evidence of absence.
Animal-mediated pollination is essential for both ecosystem services and conservation of global biodiversity, but a growing body of work reveals that it is negatively affected by anthropogenic disturbance. Landscape-scale disturbance results in two often inter-related processes: (1) habitat loss, (2) disruptions of habitat configuration (i.e. fragmentation). Understanding the relative effects o...
متن کاملSupplemental oxygen and dypsnoea in interstitial lung disease: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
It is with great interest that we read the recent systematic review by BELL et al. [1] concerning the effects of oxygen therapy on dyspnoea and exercise capacity in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The authors report that, while supplemental oxygen increases exercise capacity, it does not improve dyspnoea. Overall, this is a well-executed systematic review that accurately reflects...
متن کاملMolecular carriers of acquired inheritance: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
In utero exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors can cause transgenerational effects in the males of subsequent generations. DNA methylation (5 mC) was suggested, but being challenged as the molecular carrier of such epigenetic information. In a recent study, Schuster et al. show a changed small RNA profile changed in the sperm of F3 generation after F0 in utero vinclozolin exposure, sug...
