Error Statistics Using the Akaike and Bayesian Information Criteria
Objectivity and Underdetermination in Statistical Model Selection
The growing range of methods for statistical model selection is inspiring new debates about how to handle the potential for conflicting results.While many factors enter into choosing a model selection method, we focus on the implications of disagreements among scientists about whether, and in what sense, the true probability distribution is included in the candidate set of models.While this question can be addressed empirically, data often provid…
How data governance principles influence participation in biodiversity science
Biodiversity science is in a pivotal period when diverse groups of actors – including researchers, businesses, national governments, and Indigenous Peoples – are negotiating wide-ranging norms for governing and managing biodiversity data in digital repositories. The management of these repositories, often called biodiversity data portals, can serve either to redress or to perpetuate the colonial history of biodiversity science and current inequit…
Explaining ambiguity in scientific language
Bats, objectivity, and viral spillover risk
Coordinating dissent as an alternative to consensus classification
Evolutionary Species in Light of Population Genomics
Evolutionary conceptions of species place special weight on each species having dynamic independence as a unit of evolution. However, the idea that species have their own historical fates, tendencies, or roles has resisted systematic analysis. Growing evidence from population genomics shows that many paradigm species regularly engage in hybridization. How can species be defined in terms of independent evolutionary identities if their genomes are …
The normative structure of mathematization in systematic biology
The Practical Value of Biological Information for Research
Many philosophers are skeptical about the scientific value of the concept of biological information. However, several have recently proposed a more positive view of ascribing information as an exercise in scientific modeling. I argue for an alternative role: guiding empirical data collection for the sake of theorizing about the evolution of semantics. I clarify and expand on Bergstrom and Rosvall’s suggestion of taking a “diagnostic” approach tha…
