About I-DEELI-DEEL stands for Inter-Disciplinary Ecology and Evolution Lab.
I-DEEL is now led by Malgorzata (Losia) Lagisz. How to join I-DEEL? 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. We then relocated to the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada in 2024-2025, where Shinichi established a new research group - Collaboration for Open Science and Synthesis in Ecology and Evolution (COSSEE). We work in collaboration with many other researchers from all over the world. In our research, engage with a variety of scientific topics beyond ecology and evolutionary biology. We strive to publish high quality research papers: empirical, methodological 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). |
Lab MottosOur group follows four basic mottos:
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; so the three "musts" to learn are: 1) how to use tools effectively (e.g. Google, R, AI) 3) how to write (writing is hard, so write every day), and 4) how to collaborate and listen to others |
