Integrating intraspecific functional trait data for 67 coastal plant species in central-northern Italy: the Priorcoast dataset Trait-based approaches are becoming pivotal in predicting vegetation changes and linking ecosystem structures to functions at varying geographical scales. Moreover, spatially explicit plant functional...

Effects of Urban Growth and Local Disturbances on Extent and Composition of High Andean Forests In past centuries, the surrounding countryside of fast-growing Andean cities have experienced a dramatic decline in forested areas. However, there is also evidence of forest recovery in some areas in ...

Exploring R Package Usage in Academia I am running a quick survey to find out which R packages academics use the most in their research and teaching. The goal is to see which tools are essential, spot any gaps, and maybe even discover som...

Hi there, my student is making a survey about the use of R packages in Ecology, could you please spend two mins on filling it 🥹 Very appreciated! And if you could spread it further (RT), that would be just awesome. ❤️

I completely re-worked my course "Introduction to Bayesian statistics with brms" and taught it for the 1st time this week. It is meant as a tutorial for ecologists, but should be general enough for other sciences as well

Introducing our adaptive approach to construct and model ecosystems with plant and animal functional groups

“Tomasek added that the study could prompt us to reconsider the way we treat fish, including whether to kill and eat them.

‘[T]he fact that they can care about us, maybe it’s time that we can care about them, too.’”

Screenshot of an email announcement on the GDAL-dev mailing list. The subject reads: ‘[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.10.2 “Gulf of Mexico” is released.’ The email, written by Even Rouault, announces the release of GDAL/OGR 3.10.2, a bug-fix version, with download links for the source files in different formats. A humorous note suggests choosing a geodetic datum wisely. The email ends with a link to the sender’s website, spatialys.com, and the sign-off: ‘My software is free, but my time generally not.’
