Looking forward to sharing SalGo Team research next Mon - and really enjoying the presentation by JessMet

Great to see Sara L Middleton (one of SalGo Team's own) diving into the world of YouTube to share the wonders of plants. Her YouTube channel is Lil Plant Stories...go have look!

A fast, reliable alternative to raster package may be here and I didn't know about it for months! github.com/rspatial/terra

Interested in #restoration, #rewilding, #megafauna, #vegetation, #remotesensing and/or #macroecology, check out these 3 open 2-yr postdoc positions in my team BIOCHANGE: bit.ly/macrodecres bit.ly/megacomppd bit.ly/rwexppd Application deadline - Oct 1 2020

Somehow the idea we send stuff to other planets to investigate life in our galaxy is still too big for my brain to grasp: nasa.gov/press-release/… - Godspeed Perseverance!

My first attempt at explaining the complex topic of stability of ecological network in an accessible way - Ecosystems, complexity, and stability popecology.home.blog/2020/08/31/eco…

Our new study shows how #megafauna #extinctions have massively reduced animal #movement-mediated #connectivity w/in & between ecosystems worldwide GEB Journal - led by Emilio Berti bit.ly/megaconGEB #MegaPast2Future #semperardens #movementecology #dispersal #Pleistocene

Another chapter from my PhD work is out: authors.elsevier.com/a/1bsDk_9CgRSg… Many thanks to all co-authors Jens Svenning @MonsarratS Michael Munk & Scott Jarvie! BIOCHANGE

"Beat gestures influence which speech sounds you hear" (doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… ) - a must read for Italians.

Celebrating yet another succesfully defended thesis in the group by Vincent Fehr on non-native palms as generators of novel ecosystems - part of Jens Svenning's #VILLUMInvestigator project Villum Fonden. Congrats Vincent for this great accomplishment!

Do you see faces in everyday objects? 👀 A new study from University of Sydney #Neuroscientist David Alais has identified the #Cognitive process that causes us to see human faces in inanimate objects as an evolutionary side-effect. #SydneyScience #FacePareidolia #Pareidolia

Harmonizing taxa names and don't know why/how/what-to-use? Check out our new pre-print, where we navigate across the complex and tricky ocean of taxonomic databases and R tools.

Just wanted to share my first amazing encounter with the web browser Vivaldi - no more wildly switching tabs for stackoverflow.

Check out our new paper on "enerscape" to compute energy landscape of terrestrial mammals: doi.org/10.1111/2041-2… Also, very nice that Jena University has a deal with the journal so that we could make this open access.

From R.4.1.0 there's a native pipe (|>): cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-…. Time for a new key-binding. I also missed a new way to declare anonymous functions: \(x) x + 1 is parsed as function(x) x + 1. Not sure about this one, seems a bit counter-intuitive to read. Opinions?
