"The percentage of a species’ distribution within protected areas was positively correlated with its long-term population trend, even after accounting for confounding factors, suggesting a positive influence of protected areas on long-term trends." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Distraction from grading/writing work today is figuring out how to access ERA5 climate data from it's online Zarr repository. I'm an R person, but this is doable in RStudio with just one small Python code chunk (see below).

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

Went into overthinking mode & ended up with this atrocious funnel plot. 🎉 It's a multi level model: different colors represent the studies the effects are coming from. The most useful resource for me ended up being the Cochrane Handbook: training.cochrane.org/handbook/cur... #metaanalysis #Rstats

I love this idea, but not this production method (Observable map + Excel bar chart + Figma to handjam them together). #rstats peeps, how would you do this?

Global warming leads to a rapid loss of plant species. The full impact will only become apparent in the distant future. Using ancient DNA data, researchers found that the plant species distribution will change significantly which will be accompanied by fundamental ecological changes. 🧪🌍🌱

I just uploaded the first version of {{exactplot}} to github.com/const-ae/exa... 🎉 It produces figures with consistent font size, Latex labels, and millimeter-perfect layouting. It's an alternative to patchwork with less elegant syntax but much more flexibility. #rstats

Daru & Rock's paper on seagrass range shifts under climate change has serious flaws. Their species distribution models (SDM) misuse the concept of model transferability, leading to inaccurate results. #marinescience #conservation #seagrass #natureplants #datascience t.co/bYS9WXYVJp

A work in progress with #rstats. It’s unbelievably easy to add hill-shade relief as background and add bathymetric data in #R. It’s such a vibrant community and it feels so intuitive to run the code and change the color palettes with #MoMAColors or #MetBrewer or #rcartolor!

Way back when I first started learning #Rstats, would I dream that I could produce a map like this without a dedicated software like QGIS. Is it perfect? No. I can tweak it a bit more, but it took no more than 5 mins to create and is easily reproducible.
