    The authors argue that null hypothesis significance testing is overused and problematic in wildlife studies. They explain that null hypotheses are often unrealistic and that statistically significant results do not necessarily mean biological significance. The authors propose using information-theoretic approaches like model selection as an alternative or complement to null hypothesis testing to provide more meaningful insights into wildlife data.
