To be a good geospatial data scientist, you need good tools. My tool of choice is R. Here are the packages I can't live without: #rstats

This week the AGC hosted an excellent seminar by Mark Scherz @MarkScherz, the Curator of Herpetology at the Natural History Museum of Denmark. You can watch Mark's talk and the many others we have lined up for the year by joining the AGC at go.unimelb.edu.au/k2ss

Tucker Heptinstall, M.Sc. Thanks to everyone who played a role in helping me get here! On to the next!

A lot of bioinformatics requires editing sequencing reads to facilitate QC and make them suitable for processing. To help with such tasks, @DelaneyKSull developed splitcode, now published at academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… 1/

I field a lot of questions about ancestral state reconstruction of discrete traits so I posted a new tutorial to my blog that contains a number of useful #Rstats #phytools demos. 😀 Check it out here: blog.phytools.org/2024/04/a-few-….

I would like to share our paper on "ReptTraits: a comprehensive dataset of ecological traits in reptiles" that was published today in @ScientificData More details can be found at: #citeas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4159… #ScientificData #reptiles #Traits #OpenAccess #Science #Database

I have made my entire "Introduction to ggplot2" tutorial available on my website! The tutorial covers the basics of ggplot2, geometries, colors, themes, etc. It includes code and comments, as well as references to Pokémon! #RStats #ggplot2 #dataviz brunomioto.com/posts/intro_gg…

Apply now for the 2024 @ASNAmNat student research award! amnat.org/announcements/… We offer $2K in research funding for post-candidacy graduate students working to achieve the ASN mission of conceptual unification of ecology, evolution, or behavior. Applications are due March 15!

Sci Hub is a "pirate" website with 88M research papers freely available. Using it is not advisable. We should all try to make billion-dollar acdemic publishers richer. Here's a thread on integrating Zotero with Sci Hub to get free articles. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS 😉

I am delighted to present TRAILS, a new hidden Markov model that - reconstructs the speciation process (ancestral Ne and speciation times) - infers the multi-species ancestral recombination graph (ARG) Stay here for a brief summary of the paper! (1/17) doi.org/10.1371/journa…

I am at fault for multiple ones of these. Gotta work on these for sure.

The manuscript describing my software to assemble phylogenomic datasets, Captus (github.com/edgardomortiz/…), is finally submitted!, here you can access the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
