Trees grow their stem mostly at night to avoid high vapor pressure deficits. Quite a surprise to me - never miss the link to physiological processes! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Congrats to Sam Gascoigne for being elected a finalist of the sorte student category for ORT research! Oxford Biology

To my horror, today I realized that the fist of these two not only does not work, but doesn't throw an error message either!!! parse(text='demo <- c(1,2)') %>% eval eval( parse(text='demo <- c(1,2)') )

Is it my impression or querying ERA5 data is consistently (very) slow?

Interested in #island dwarfism?🏝️🐐#Brain #evolution? 🧠Fossils🦴, CT 🩻 , endocasts & geometric morphometrics? I am looking for a #PhD student to work on my DFG public | @[email protected] funded project on brain evolution in insular large mammals. Application deadline: 30.11.2023. Please RT!

Great opportunity!

Just switched from rstan to cmdstanr for fitting ODE models in Stan in R and MCMC now runs >3x faster! 🤯

We are looking for a MS level student to help populate the PADRINO IPM Database! This is an excellent position for someone eager to improve their R skills, and to get a proper introduction into statistical and population modeling. Position is based at the iDiv Biodiversity Research! idiv.de/fileadmin/cont…

Feeling full of gratitude right now 🥹. Thank you everyone who has made these past few years the best I could have asked for - especially my amazing supervisors Rob Salguero-Gómez and İrem Sepil . So grateful for all the inspiration, growth and friendships built over the DPhil.

These confounded and selection damaged large sample observational studies are possibly doing more harm than good at this point

We are still looking for a MS level student to help populate the PADRINO IPM Database! This is a position for someone eager to transform their R skills, and to obtain extensive training into statistical and population modeling. Position is based at the iDiv Biodiversity Research. idiv.de/en/about_idiv/…

My first paper was published today! 🌳

Such wonderful news Jacob, congratulations!!!

Excited to share our paper in PNASNews with Aldo Compagnoni and Tom Miller ! Climate change may push dioecious plants toward female-biased sex ratios which will impair seed production. Ignoring this feedback underestimates range shifts. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Ecologists should read this, and giggle at how similar these problems are to our field. Though, data in economic research seem (=almost certainly are) vastly superior that in Ecology in accessibility, standardization, replication, and resolution.

I keep coming back to this 2022 study after years - quite lovely! "Number of growth days and not length of the growth period determines radial stem growth of temperate trees" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…
