| الوصف: | Ecological and evolutionary studies are currently failing to achieve complete and consistent reporting of model-related uncertainty. We identify three key barriers: a focus on parameter-related uncertainty, obscure uncertainty metrics, and limited recognition of uncertainty propagation, which have led to gaps in uncertainty consideration. But these gaps can be closed. We propose that uncertainty reporting in ecology and evolution can be improved through wider application of existing statistical solutions and adoption of good practice from other scientific fields. Our recommendations include greater consideration of input data and model structure uncertainties, field-specific uncertainty standards for methods and reporting, and increased uncertainty propagation through use of hierarchical models. |
