We argue that our field-and science in general-would benefit from more effective means to counter confirmation bias and publication bias.Ĭolor bands fitness null findings publication bias zebra finch. Finally, a meta-analysis of previously published results is indicative of selective reporting and suggests that the effect size approaches zero when sample size is large. Analysis of unpublished data from three other laboratories strengthens the generality of our null finding. We also found no heterogeneity in color-band effects, arguing against both context and population specificity. We found that band color explains no variance in either male or female fitness. This sample size exceeds the combined sample size of all 23 publications that clearly support the "color-band effect" hypothesis. Here, we analyze the results of eight experiments in which we quantified the fitness of a total of 730 color-banded individuals from four captive populations (two domesticated and two recently wild derived). Only eight of 39 publications presented exclusively null findings. For the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata, a model organism in behavioral ecology, many studies over the past 35 years have reported effects of bands of certain colors on male or female attractiveness and further on behavior, physiology, life history, and fitness. For decades, researchers working with birds have individually marked their study species with colored leg bands. Here, we show a case of an extreme mismatch between strong positive support for an effect in the literature and a failure to detect this effect across multiple attempts at replication.
