It is really annoying me that biology papers so rarely use SD as opposed to SEM. As a researcher I know the pain involved in making your hard fought data look any less significant, but please include some SD values because otherwise we have no clue about individual variation in the sample. I'm just looking at all these comments saying "there is a spectrum of individual variation" and it is infuriating that the paper offers no way to confirm or deny this assertion, despite its importance to the conclusions.
