[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Marcus Michelangeli. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral Researcher. Research and/or work interests: I am a behavioural ecologist interested in animal movement, collective behaviour and how wildlife is responding to anthropogenic pollution. The primary aim of my research is to understand how and when behavioural responses of individuals or groups to environmental change, can lead to broader ecological consequences, and long-term evolutionary shifts, across multiple levels of biology and species.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Christine Meynard. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Chargé de recherche. Research and/or work interests: I am a macro-ecologist and biogeographer, interested in the relationships between biodiversity and environmental gradients at large scales, and their links to global change. What do you see as the greatest challenge facing the open / reliable / transparent science movement at large or specifically in ecology and evolutionary biology?

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Miguel Camacho. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral researcher. Research and/or work interests: I hold a PhD in conservation genetics and evolutionary biology. I am interested in using genetics and ecology to understand the origins of biodiversity and how to preserve it. I worked with mammals from Borneo and amphibians from the Iberian Peninsula. I am enthusiastic about data science and reproducible research.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Alec Christie. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of Cambridge. Research and/or work interests: I’m interested in how we can provide decision-makers with relevant and reliable scientific evidence to inform their decision-making. I’m also interested in developing decision support tools that help decision-makers combine and assess different sources of evidence (e.g., local knowledge, grey literature, peer-reviewed literature, evidence syntheses) in conservation.

The Replication Crisis is not a crisis for researchers - it is a crisis for society

By Matt Grainger & Ed Ivimey-Cook in blog

September 8, 2021

Perverse incentives in research careers lead to poor research practices prevailing. This problem may not necessarily be a problem for researchers as their careers can benefit from questionable research practices. The end users of science (such as government agencies, policy makers and wider society) are the ones who are negatively impacted by poor science and we argue here that the systemic change must come from them and not from within the research community alone.
