Overcoming the pitfalls of categorizing continuous variables in ecology, evolution and behaviour
RS Beltran, CE Tarwater - Proceedings B, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Many variables in biological research—from body size to life-history timing to environmental
characteristics—are measured continuously (eg body mass in kilograms) but analysed as …
