About I-DEELIn our research, we test a wide range of scientific hypotheses using organisms from different taxa. We work in collaboration with many other researchers from this department, other departments and from other universities all over the world. We strive to publish high quality research papers, both experimental and reviews with particular focus on meta-analysis and comparative analysis. Further, we promote scientific transparency and reproducibility, especially in the field of Ecology and evolution (see TEE and SORTEE). And we are also a part of European Thermal Fertility Network.
The group is a continuation of the SN Behavioural Ecology Group, which was originally founded at the arrival of Shinichi Nakagawa (SN) to the Department of Zoology, the University of Otago, New Zealand, in 2008. Shinichi moved to the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES), the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia, in February 2015. Because nowadays our research focus is not just on behavioural ecology, as we are constantly crossing boundaries to other related disciplines, and is co-led by Malgorzata Lagisz, we decided to give our group a more appropriate name. Hence I-DEEL: Inter-Disciplinary Ecology and Evolution Lab (How to join I-DEEL?). I-DEEL is a part of the Evolution & Ecology Research Centre (E&ERC). |
Lab MottosOur group follows three basic mottos, plus a new one:
1. Questions drive our research. 2. Follow the best open Science practices. 3. Complete the cycle if you are going to do it at all (the cycle = conceiving an idea, carrying out a study and writing results up for publication). 4. Skills have become more important than knowledge; the four "musts" are to learn: 1) how to use Google, 2) how to use R, 3) how to write (writing is hard, so write every day), and 4) how to collaborate and listen to others. |
