This is a very important point I think - only in very rare cases have I found my research actively improved by having a more sophisticated method available, and most projects have a statistician as a collaborator already. If not, they're readily available. It benefits a biologist to know what the statistician is talking about, and not just treating the analysis as a black box, but there's a reason we have subject matter experts. Sometimes, someone saying "Make sure to use robust variance" is enough information.
