• Neglected biological patterns in the residuals (2011, methodology): “…example, studies looking at the parental care behaviour of the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) have shown that there is more variation in the provisioning rate of females than of males (Schwagmeyer and Mock 2003; Nakagawa et al. 2007a), which could cause heteroscedasticity in the model errors.”
• Changing philosophies and tools for statistical inferences in behavioral ecology (2009, methodology): “The problem of missing data, another aspect of data quality, is a neglected topic in the field of ecology and evolution (Hadfield 2008; Nakagawa and Freckleton 2008 ), although missing data issues are probably present in most data sets behavioral ecologists deal with.”
• Do alien plant species profit more from high resource supply than natives? A trait‐based analysis (2013, unknown): “To test the significance of mean effect sizes, we used an inverse variance weighted flexible metaanalytic procedure (Nakagawa et al., 2007) using species identity as a grouping random factor.”
• What is the magnitude of the group-size effect on vigilance? (2008, background): “4 (Nakagawa et al. 2007).”
• Elevated reproductive effort increases blood parasitaemia and decreases immune function in birds: a meta-regression approach (2009, unknown): “method that uses linear mixed-effects model (Nakagawa et al. 2007)”
• Dominance and plumage traits: meta-analysis and metaregression analysis (2011, methodology): “To determine whether a set of effect sizes was homogeneous, we calculated the residual heterogeneity QREML, as randomeffects models were used (Nakagawa et al. 2007).”
