What I liked about Mills:
- lots of non-game examples
- pop #genetics
- real applications
- problem sets to work in Excel
What I didn't like about Mills was that it made some concepts more difficult to understand than necessary. I found it difficult to parse through at times.
Have been perusing other or additional options including Powell & Gale (2015), Gotelli (2008), and Gibbs et al. (2008).
🏙️#Sex biases in the individuals studied in the lab & field. Why is it more often males of a species? What data are we missing because of that bias? 🤔

Any recommendations for ways to collect data about color & pattern from images of #wildlife? We want to quantify things like %cover by a color & intensity.
Have enjoyed reading some of the work by Davis & Grayson on quantifying #color, hue, % coverage in #newts and other animals.
They used Fovea Pro, a Photoshop add in. The newer version (QIA-64) costs ~$800 😬
Am also considering the methods of Paterson & Blouin-Demers where they quantify continuous variation in throat color in #lizards using Adobe & ultimately analysis in #imageJ (but haven't had time to test it out yet)
