Reanalysis shows there is not an extreme decline effect in fish ocean acidification studies

PLoS Biol. 2022 Nov 22;20(11):e3001809. doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3001809. eCollection 2022 Nov.

ABSTRACT

This Formal Comment uses re-analysis after appropriate corrections to claim that the extreme decline effect reported by Clements et al. is a statistical artefact caused by the way they corrected for zeros in percentage data, exacerbated by errors in data compilation, selective data inclusions and missing studies with strong effects.
