Count-less chironomids?
Most papers that present microfossil assemblages report (not always accurately) the minimum number of microfossils that were counted in each sample, an important indicator of the precision of the data. Some do not. For these papers, the reader should be … Continue reading
The tangled web of Silvaplana papers
I’ve not written much about the Lake Silvaplana papers although they are as questionable as the Seebergsee and Zabinskie papers. I have now digitised the 150-year stratigraphy, my request to the authors for the data having been ignored. Together with … Continue reading
Reconstruction number 5
Climate modellers often run their models many times with slightly different initial configurations to get an ensemble of alternate realisations of climate history – parallel universes in silico. What is less well known is that certain proxies, mainly from small … Continue reading
The Lake Silvaplana papers
Intrigued by the slightest of hints of rare mønsters in the Lake Żabińskie chironomid data, I decided to re-read all the papers on the chironomid stratigraphy from the varved Lake Silvaplana, Switzerland, by the same author. These papers, which reconstruct … Continue reading

Odd ordination of the day
Your challenge is to identify half a dozen unexpected features in this Detrended Constrained Correspondence Analysis from Larocque-Tobler (2010). Bonus points if you can interpret the last two sentences of the caption.
