DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9947

Abstract: Abstract Ecologists often rely on randomized control trials (RCTs) to quantify causal relationships in nature. Many of our foundational insights of ecological phenomena can be traced back to well‐designed experiments, and RCTs continue to provide… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ije/dyz220

Abstract: Background—Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are popular tools for identifying appropriate adjustment strategies for epidemiological analysis. However, a lack of direction on how to build them is problematic. As a solution, we propose using a combination… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2025.0963

Abstract: Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are powerful tools for visualizing assumptions/hypotheses and causal inference. Although their use is becoming more widespread across various disciplines, they remain underutilised in behavioural ecology and evolution. Here, we point out… read more here.

DOI: 10.4067/s0034-98872018000700907

Abstract: BACKGROUND Confusion in observational epidemiological studies distorts the relationship between exposure and event. "Step by step" regression models, diverts the decision to a statistical algorithm with little causal basis. Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), qualitatively and… read more here.
