When teaching academic writing at the PhD level, here are 5 tools I recommend. A 🧵⬇️:

Europe but if Europe colonised it

🚨📢Which vegetation structure variables derived from LiDAR are crucial to assess species distribution and thus should be accessible through national data portals. See our newest paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd… Diversity & Distributions, Yale BGC, Duccio Rocchini, Marco Malavasi, Petr Klápště

I literally considered goat farming

Great paper by Alejandra Zarzo Arias, Flo Grattarola | ecoevo.social/@flograttarola et al. in Ecosphere on the importance of data selection and filtering in species distribution models. Spoiler alert 🚨 Spatial data quality and its processing are crucial in ecological studies. FŽP ČZU v Praze, Department of Spatial Sciences esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Proč jako vědec nebudu volit Danuši Nerudovou? TLDR: Její činnost v pozici vědkyně i rektorky je problematická a všechna svá pochybení zatlouká. Zhodnocení jejího působení jako vědkyně a manažerky je přitom zásadní, protože to je to hlavní, co v životě dělala. (1/n)

I offer two fully funded, 4-year PhD positions in Prague. Macroecology, biodiversity science, ecological statistics, and remote sensing. Application deadline 15th Feb, starting date 1 Oct 2023. Details and instructions: petrkeil.github.io/news/2023/01/1…

🚨📢 Amazing paper about the effect of positional uncertainty in species distribution models by Adam B. Smith et al. in GEB Journal! Worth to read! 👏 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

I am really proud I had a chance to work in the same lab with unbelievable smart and genuine James B Dorey. Check the video about his 🐝 research!

🚨 Have you already heard of the INTERNET OF ANIMALS? Mind-blowing project that my colleagues from Yale BGC work on under @scottyanco supervision! 👏👏👏

📢Check out our new review about scale mismatches between predictor and response variables in species distribution modelling at PiPG Journal with The Marine Geomatics Lab @UQAC, Vojtěch Barták, Alejandra Zarzo Arias et al.!
