My first PhD chapter is published🎉! We used telemetry in lake trout to understand the effects of therm. hab. on the metabolic costs of movement in a multibasin lake in western QC. Movement during warm therm. hab. increased energy expenditures of LKT. t.co/QI6Fa9XreP

Have you wanted to analyze lake bathymetric data or fish movement and wanted to use soap-film smoothers from {mgcv}. Checkout our recently made package {soapcheckr} that will assist you in making soap-film smoothers! #Rstats #GAMs #spatialanalysis
