Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a powerful statistical tool used to simplify complex data sets by transforming them into a set of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components. This technique is highly beneficial for visualizing your data, especially when

🧵Bioinformatics evolves fast. New tech. New data. New analysis. But here's how to stay grounded and not get overwhelmed:

Examining decades of herbarium specimens, we investigated how bryophyte communities in the southern Appalachians respond to ecological disturbances. Congrats to recent UTK EEB graduate Eric Shershen linkedin.com/in/eric-shersh… who led this work! Learn more: doi.org/10.3897/nhcm.3…

Here are 5 writing workflows most academics ignore: 1. Capture - jot ideas as they show up 2. Organize - sort by project and what matters now 3. Draft - get the rough version down 4. Revise - make it something you’d actually read 5. Publish - send it out before you start

I've created a website called Data Hacks, which contains over 1,000 quick R and Python tutorials. Solutions are shown without unnecessary talk, allowing you to quickly find code snippets for specific problems. The graph in this post displays some of the plots created on Data

Contrasting diversification and invasion histories of bivalves to the deep sea: "...evolutionary pathways to deep-sea endemicity are more often shaped by multiple, independent events than by in situ diversification" royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article/2…

Polyphyletic origins of deep sea bivalves, with monophyletic origin of the deepest water taxa (Bathymodiolinae, clade at right) corresponding to a shift in adults from suspension feeding on phytoplankton to chemosymbiotic nutrition.

I LOVE this paper by Lisa Lloyd. It makes all the difference in the world to ask first: “Does this trait has a function?” and not only: “What is the function of this trait?”. In current day trait ecology, adaptationism is live and well, unfortunately.
