Five 3-year Postdoc positions open at @ebdonana.bsky.social. I am happy to sponsor and mentor good candidates working in my field, but note that these are quite independent positions aimed at helping stabilize new researchers in the system. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4nqkq...

I made a GEE script to monitor burnt surfaces from Sentinel & MODIS due to #fires 🔥

A few days later, I discovered that Copernicus updates the burnt areas of forest fires #IF across Europe

Here’s the link, in case it’s useful for someone else forest-fire.emergency.copernicus.eu/applications...

Monté un script de GEE para monitorear a partir de sentinel y MODIS la superficie quemada por #incendios🔥

Días después descubrí q Copernicus proporciona el perimetraje actualizado d #IF para toda Europa

Reminder to sign up to our upcoming hackathon!

We'll be discussing and testing a protocol to assess whether data/code associated with published literature is actually reproducible, and if not, why.

Registration closes on the 15th September 🕤

Herbicides harm more than weeds! 🐝🧪

A new study suggests that they indirectly disrupt plant-pollinator networks, potentially risking pollination services 🌼🌏 @julitavella.bsky.social

Midwestern Butterfly Survey Reveals Troubling Trends and Insightful Clues Through Big Data Analysis In a comprehensive and sobering new analysis spanning more than three decades of butterfly monitoring across the U.S. Midwest, researchers have uncovered a persistent and widespread decline in butterfly populations. This unprecedented study, led by Michigan State University PhD candidate Wendy Leuenberger and her colleagues, reveals that none of the 136 butterfly species monitored exhibited population growth between 1992 and 2023.

‚Insecticides, more than herbicides, land use, and climate, are associated with declines in butterfly species richness and abundance in the American Midwest‘

Seed dispersal disruption limits tropical forest regrowth | PNAS Identifying linkages between biodiversity loss and climate change is required for understanding the scope of these interconnected challenges and de...

Our new study shows how animal biodiversity loss is a climate problem: tropical forests recover far less carbon where seed dispersers have declined.

We’re not just losing forests – we’re losing their ability to regrow.

Reversing that trend could align biodiversity recovery with climate solutions.🧵

I’ve been working on an update to the #quarto R package for weeks. I hope it improves your #rstats workflow with Quarto.

Lots of new helpers and tooling beyond the usual CLI wrappers. I believe some functions will be really useful!

Looking forward to your feedback!

Movement phases make a difference in habitat selection: Iberian lynx diversity of responses to human‐modified landscapes By examining habitat selection across five movement phases in the reintroduced Iberian lynx, our study reveals high behavioural plasticity and key differences between and among resident and non-resid...

The Iberian lynx habitat selection: we show how it depends on lynx movement phases.

Separately considering home ranges, transient residences, excursions, post-release dispersals and dispersals.

Analysing a large GPS telemetry dataset from 124 lynxes.

It was worth it to be back again in after a break in which I’ve stopped doing what I really like.
We won the regional summer championship!! 🏆 Even though my marks are trash, I got 2🥇 1🥈2🥉 Happy to make it. Now, I’m ready for the following season!!🚀Thanks for the support of my amazing team CNCR 🦈
