Some really cool science from @ReidWSteele together with Jin Gao and @PaulRegular that I've enjoyed being part of. Free access for the next 50 days. 👇👇👇 Exploring capelin (Mallotus villosus) population dynamics using Empirical Dynamic Modelling sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@AaronAdamack Neat! I wonder if it's possible to make RTMB use GPU?

@xtinabourne @NotACaptainKirk Yup! Looks like a black guillemot to me

@xtinabourne @drjwlawson It does look like a robin but I'd never seen one so dark!? I wonder if it's a juvenile grackle? What do you think @birdtherock?

Have had this dark bird in our back yard in St. John's, NL for the last couple of days. Looks and acts like a juvenile robin, but very dark in colour (sorry for cell phone shot!). Other juvenile robins in the yard have the usual speckled markings

Excited to share our paper, published over the weekend in @methodsEcolEvol, on accounting for predator functional response when using diet data to inform prey abundance. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/G… A thread 1/5

Our paper "Indexing starvation mortality to assess its role in the population regulation of Northern cod" is now #openaccess! Results indicate that insufficient food contributed to the collapse and limited recovery of Northern cod doi.org/10.1016/j.fish…

@SquatCod FOAM ™

After seeing WHAM I'm dibs-ing FOAM (Fisheries & Oceans Assessment Model). Now I just need @PaulRegular to build it for me...

@mkoenalonso Thanks, Mariano, for sharing this and kudos for noticing its online. Fisheries Research processed the article really fast!

A new study led by the awesome @PaulRegular looking into the role of starvation mortality on the population dynamics of Northern cod. Insufficient food (eg lack of capelin) contributed to the stock collapse, & has played a role on its limited recovery. 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@SineAndie @SquatCod I'll have a mixed effects cocktail 😁

@SquatCod @PaulRegular Friday beers?

@AaronAdamack @mkoenalonso @SquatCod Haha, I required a few reminders because it's been a few grey hairs since I've been in the field

@mkoenalonso @SquatCod @PaulRegular I'm just looking at all that grey hair. Did anyone let him know which side is the head and which is the tail?

AH! Who let @PaulRegular away from his computer?!

@mkoenalonso @AaronAdamack Neat! That paper includes all the hits: Lotka-Volterra, bottom-up regulation, match-mismatch

Modeling capelin as bottom-up process as a function of prey (zooplankton) availability. @AaronAdamack, @PaulRegular you will like this one. 👇👇👇 Population dynamic regulators in an empirical predator-prey system sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@xtinabourne #CapelinRoll2021 is looking relatively early this year!

@AaronAdamack @SquatCod 🤯

@PaulRegular @SquatCod What you said made sense. I was arguing that how much the variation varies could also vary over time.

We should be considering "time varying variation in the variation" - @PaulRegular (he's not wrong.)

@AaronAdamack @SquatCod Hahaha, I knew I would fumble that. It's in my head as visuals, but hard to translate to wordz

@SquatCod @PaulRegular Also time varying variation of the variation of the variation.

@ADBuren @ElOceanografo @ESAMonographs Interesting! ...and ping @BillMontevecchi

@SquatCod Hahaha, put it on da GAC 😜

*authorizing the purchase of 50 of these for the office*

@hdpenney Sold! Will tell my wife that I work with a Model every day 😝🤓

Hey @PaulRegular today for a minute, I couldn't remember what NCAM stood for and came up with: Northern Cod, a Model? I am officially petitioning you to officially change it to my version.

@SquatCod Loves it!

Merry Christmas @PaulRegular

@SquatCod @brynnmdevine Relative to when I had custody, she's doing best kind! Haven't seen it bloom for a long time 👍

In the battle of the cactus blooms, @brynnmdevine is far outperforming @PaulRegular
