Recently, Nakagawa et al.(2021) provided a timely and insightful comment to our paper on statistical methods for non-independent data in ecological metaanalyses (Song et al. 2020). Their comment highlighted the value of using hierarchical models in meta-analysis to address non-independence, and offered two assertions:(1) that a two-step method that first calculates a weighted mean effect size of each paper and then analyzes the paper mean in a random effect model has limited scope of application and (2) that several solutions to avoid inflated type I error rates in hierarchical models already exist and can be implemented with existing software packages in R.
