Host Diet Preference Drives Diversity and Composition of Gut Microbiota in Captive Birds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
We have quantified gut microbiota composition of 36 bird species representing 15 orders to analyse determinants of diversity and variability patterns among host species. We found that host phylogeny only had limited influence on GM diversity and composition.

An evaluation of multi‐species occupancy models with correlated species occurrences

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, Page 2681-2693, November 2025.
Abstract Multi‐species occupancy models for estimating the effects of environmental covariates on species occurrences while accounting for the effects of false‐negative errors in detection were developed more than 20 years ago. Only recently have these models been extended to include correlations in occurrence between species. Tobler et al.

A sparse latent class model incorporating response times

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, Volume 78, Issue 3, Page 757-784, November 2025.
Abstract Diagnostic models (DM) have been widely used to classify respondents' latent attributes in cognitive and non‐cognitive assessments. The integration of response times (RTs) with DM presents additional evidence to understand respondents' problem‐solving behaviours.

Score‐based tests for parameter instability in ordinal factor models

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, Volume 78, Issue 3, Page 996-1024, November 2025.
Abstract We present a novel approach for computing model scores for ordinal factor models, that is, graded response models (GRMs) fitted with a limited information (LI) estimator. The method makes it possible to compute score‐based tests for parameter instability for ordinal factor models.
