Biography
Simon Blomberg Senior Lect/Statistics Advisor, Faculty of Science, at Faculty of Science, His research involves the application and development of statistical methods in ecology, evolutionary biology, and general whole-organism biology. My two particular research foci are phylogenetic comparative methods and mark-recapture methods for animal demography. I also have a strong interest in the application of Bayesian methods, and the statistical philosophy of the nature of evidence in whol-organism biology. How and why do scientists agree that certain data are evidence for or against a particular hypothesis?
