Moore Notes 3 16 11

• Raes et al, 2011, Molecular Systems Biology
  • cite in out range mapping paper
  • richness peaks not in tropics
  • removal of outliers?
  • data set at different scale, just the GOS data set
  • may indicate that we need to hurry with our paper

• Bias analyses
  • Bias in richness estimates appears to be a substantial problem
  • No easy fix
  • Bootstrapping looks promising
  • Downplay richness map, emphasize other measures of richness if bias cannot be corrected
  • Josh will prepare a draft with richness downplayed in the next 24 hours, and circulate to the group.
