RESEARCH REPRODUCIBILITY IN ANIMAL BEHAVIOR SYMPOSIUM (Q&A SESSION)
Chair(s): Esteban Fernandez-Juricic
Virtual Talk Room 7

Symposium Organizers: Esteban Fernandez-Juricic and Ambika Kamath. You may view the presentations at any time during the conference, and we invite you to join us for the Live Q&A Session. The symposium will discuss some of the challenges in making different phases of animal behavior research (data collection, data processing, statistical analysis, reporting results, etc. ) reproducible to reduce publication bias. Topics will include: reasons behind the reproducibility crisis, research errors (P-hacking, HARKing, publication bias, etc. ), collecting behavioral data in a reproducible manner, managing behavioral data in a reproducible manner, the value of replicating studies in animal behavior, data synthesis and meta-analysis, as well as what should journals do to increase research reproducibility in animal behavior?

WORKSHOP

EDUCATION WORKSHOP: EXPLORING ANIMAL BEHAVIOR IN LABORATORY AND FIELD - 2ND EDITION (Q&A SESSION)
Virtual Talk Room 7

In keeping with the true spirit of the first edition, the editors have solicited submissions from ABS members. We have expanded the scope of coverage and reorganized the way in which activities are presented. The volume will be divided into four main sections: Describing Behavior, Theory of Behavior, Application of Behavior, and Communicating Science. The aim of this workshop is to demonstrate and discuss 6 chapters, representing multiple sections of the book. Not only with this provide us with an opportunity to collect feedback on the chapters, but it will also offer a preview of what the volume offers. Chapters provide variations that permit use in labs, standard class periods, or online learning. A Q&A will follow the recorded presentations. Two chapter authors are paired in each session to discuss their chapters.
