The Shapiro-Wilk test is exquisitely sensitive to sample size, not normality itself. With large n, it flags trivial deviations. With small n, it misses real departures. This leads researchers to make the wrong inference about whether to use parametric tests.

Five interactive data visualisations exploring threatened species trends in Australia using EPBC Act listing data, the Threatened Species Index 2025, and the 2016 State of Environment report. Built in R with plotly for RMIT Data Visualisation and Communication Assignment 3.

This analysis uses OpenAlex bibliographic records to compare how often population-related and community-related terminology appears in four aquatic science journals over time: Freshwater Biology, Limnology and Oceanography, Aquatic Sciences, and Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. For each year, I counted papers whose title or abstract mentioned population-family terms (population, populations, metapopulation, metapopulations) or community-family terms (community, communities, metacommunity, metacommunities). Counts were scaled by the total number of articles published in these journals each year and expressed as papers per 1,000 articles. Exact word matching was used before summing terms, so population was not counted inside metapopulation, and community was not counted inside metacommunity. The goal is to visualize broad shifts in ecological language across aquatic science literature, rather than to classify papers by topic exhaustively.
