Alterlab Rma Literature Reviewer

Survey and synthesize theoretical literature on a specific topic, identifying seminal papers, key results, open problems, and cross-domain connections. Use when starting research on an unfamiliar theoretical topic, writing a literature review for a paper or thesis, identifying open problems and research gaps, finding cross-domain connections, or evaluating the novelty of a proposed theoretical contribution against existing work.

Invoke parallel document-specialist agents for external web searches and documentation lookup

Conduct comprehensive, systematic literature reviews using multiple academic databases (PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, etc.). This skill should be used when conducting systematic literature reviews, meta-analyses, research synthesis, or comprehensive literature searches across biomedical, scientific, and technical domains. Creates professionally formatted markdown documents and PDFs with verified citations in multiple citation styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver, etc.).

Design and execute insect population surveys covering survey design, sampling methods, field execution, specimen identification, diversity index calculation including Shannon-Wiener and Simpson indices, statistical analysis, and reporting. Covers defining survey objectives, selecting study sites, determining sampling intensity and replication, choosing sampling methods appropriate to target taxa, standardizing collection effort, recording environmental covariates, identifying specimens to the lowest practical taxonomic level, calculating species richness, Shannon-Wiener diversity (H'), Simpson diversity (1-D), evenness, rarefaction curves, multivariate ordination, and producing survey reports with species lists and conservation implications. Use when conducting baseline biodiversity assessments, monitoring insect populations over time, comparing insect communities across habitats or treatments, assessing environmental impact, or supporting conservation planning with quantitative ecological data.

Fit cognitive drift-diffusion models (Ratcliff DDM) to reaction time and accuracy data with parameter estimation (drift rate, boundary separation, non-decision time), model comparison, and parameter recovery validation. Use when modeling binary decision-making with reaction time data, estimating cognitive parameters from experimental data, comparing sequential sampling model variants, or decomposing speed-accuracy tradeoff effects into latent cognitive components.
