[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Bo Johannesson. Date: 03 July 2021. Position: Principal Research Engineer. If you had the power to change one thing about current research practices in your field, what would it be? I would change the practice of collecting lots of data before good planning. What’s an ‘ORT’ subject or practice that you think deserves more attention? The importance of using observational experiments and manipulative experiments together to build research programs that are both focused and adaptive is undervalued.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Alexander Mielke. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral Researcher. Research and/or work interests: Primatology; Social Relationships; Cooperation. What’s an ‘ORT’ subject or practice that you think deserves more attention? I think we need to move from storing data in article-specific repositories (such as Dryad or Github) and towards a platform-system where raw datasets are publicly available. Access to data is a limiting factor for getting involved in ecological research, and currently raw data are still largely unavailable.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Fredrik Jutfelt. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Professor. Research and/or work interests: Animal physiology and behaviour, thermal biology. How did you become interested in open research? I became interested in open research after realising scientific misconduct and data fabrication occurs in my field. That started me, together with a group of friends, on a path to investigate papers with suspicious results.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Susi Zajitschek. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Lecturer. Research and/or work interests: I am interested in behavioural ecology and teaching. How did you become interested in open research? Scientific integrity is often taken for granted, and while for the vast majority of researchers there is no question about this, there are the occasional cases of misconduct, shady/patchy reporting or non-reproducibility.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Malika Ihle. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Reproducible Research Oxford coordinator. Research and/or work interests: I’m a former behavioral ecologist who worked on mate choice and extra-pair behavior. I am now promoting open research across disciplines at the University of Oxford by providing training, building communities, and liaising with stakeholders to inform the design of incentives and policies.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Rishika Dubla. Date: 02 July 2021. Research and/or work interests: I’m an evolutionary biologist, with an interest in sexual selection and conflict, and social behaviours in reptiles. Overall, I’m interested in the different interactions between the sexes and how that can lead to novel adaptations which exhibit plasticity and eventually drive the evolution of a species to adopt unique social systems.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Dieter Lukas. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Group Leader. Research and/or work interests: I am interested in why we can find different social behaviour in different populations? If you had the power to change one thing about current incentives in your career path, what would it be? I think we want to reconsider what counts as research output.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Markus Eichhorn. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Lecturer. Research and/or work interests: I am interested in forest ecology. What do you see as the greatest challenge facing the open / reliable / transparent science movement at large or specifically in ecology and evolutionary biology? In ecology there are a number of groups who control access to large global databases which, while ostensibly available to all, are often closed, in that access is determined by gatekeepers who determine who can use the data, the uses to which it is put, and the credit that derives from their use.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Hannah Dugdale. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Professor of Evolutionary Medicine. Research and/or work interests: My group is interested in the evolution of within- and between-individual differences in behavioural and life-history traits. Our current focus is the evolution of senescence. Individuals clearly senesce differently, but our understanding of how and why individuals senesce in such different ways remains limited.

[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Marcus Michelangeli. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Postdoctoral Researcher. Research and/or work interests: I am a behavioural ecologist interested in animal movement, collective behaviour and how wildlife is responding to anthropogenic pollution. The primary aim of my research is to understand how and when behavioural responses of individuals or groups to environmental change, can lead to broader ecological consequences, and long-term evolutionary shifts, across multiple levels of biology and species.
