finally got around to trying this and it's great, 10/10
@lionelhenry.bsky.social and I are so excited to finally announce Air - an extremely fast R code formatter! 🎉
With Air, you'll never need to worry about styling your #rstats code ever again. All you need to do is save, and Air takes care of the rest.

There's a lot of interest in #deeplearning for tree crown segmentation from imagery, but most methods are tested in manual annotations, checked visually.
How well do these perform on rigourously ground-truthed data? Our new preprint, by Matt Allen finds...not so well.🧵

And if you are interested which packages are most popular among young ecologists and which among professors, just stay tuned. 😅
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. ❤️

Two really important papers for anyone interested in causal inference in ecology came out recently in Ecology Letters. 1st up (by @lauradee.bsky.social & @katherinesiegel.bsky.social) is this over-view paper. Really useful for both experts and beginners.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:
Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

New paper: Forest dynamics where typhoon winds blow.
In Hong Kong, wind exposed forests are shorter and more uniform. Damage from Mangkhut, the strongest typhoon in 40 years, was higher in tall forests and plantations.
