…no money was ever received by the family from #Trump. Some of the costs…were covered by the #Army (which offered…to allow Guillén to be buried at #ArlingtonNationalCemetery) & some were covered by donations. Ultimately, Guillén was buried in Houston.
…The personal qualities displayed by Trump in his reaction to the cost of the Guillén funeral—#contempt, #rage, #parsimony, #racism—hardly surprised his inner circle.

More specifically with the model-based approach in the program ALE, which was succesfully used by Sattler et al. (2019) to "Inferring processes of #coevolutionary #diversification in a community of Panamanian strangler #figs and associated pollinating #wasps": https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.13809

Data #parsimony is when you go to your #Mastodon Settings and remove all the #followers that have been inactive since 2020 or earlier. And not too hard to do.
Sort by last #activity, and then you can select them by the page and the "remove selected followers" link.
Did that for about six pages.
The plural of #anecdote is not data : my comment about the PNAS paper reporting tool use in #Puffin that have been observed using stick for preening. #biology #animalbehaviour #bird #tooluse #tool #parsimony
