Status for May 16

What have I worked on?

  • missingLinks: proofs (last minute tweaks and such)

  • experimentIdeas: competition in poor environemnts is tough because what I thought was an easy gradient (percent corn flour) is not so clear-cut . Oat flour is an option, as is some inedible filler. This gets at something different than stress gradient hypothesis though, as the underlying mechanism for the change interspecific effect is a change in cannabalism rate coupled with a change in growth rate.

  • prevOcc: ready to go once priorityEffects ends (2-3 weeks)

  • priorityEffects1: solved model fitting issues on single species models. Now extending to two-species to sanity check before proceeding. Fingers crossed.

  • srsSuccession: pushed along a bit.

  • labLogistics: project status updates and cleaned up my flash drive and Github repos.

What should I be working on now?

  • priorityEffects1: models running. Hopefully they are done tomorrow (this is unlikely though)

  • priorityEffects2: push along. Will eventually have 7 gens of data.

  • read: Lots of projects off my desk. Time to read.
