One of my favourite R tricks is using the {check_model} function in the {performance} package in #rstats to make really nice model diagnostic plots. It also includes some easy ways to check if model's assumptions are being violated: andy-walton.github.io/Websit… #DataScience

Just found this gem: freely available materials of workshop on "Writing Reproducible Research Papers with R Markdown" by @ResulUmit A fantastic resource filled with relevant information. If you are new (and not so new) to dynamic reports in #RMarkdown #rstats this is for you.

We're hiring a quantitative biologist to work on national-level population analysis and survey design for birds (alongside me, @AdamClarkSmith, and others at #CWS and #ECCC)! Super fun, challenging, and collaborative. DM me for more details! emploisfp-psjobs.cfp-psc.gc.…

new manuscript! TLDR; we were asked to evaluate status of Humboldt martens. Data were too sparse to estimate trends/inform specific conservation actions. So, we wrote a perspective on how we can collaborate to improve conservation of rare/cryptic species! tinyurl.com/yc5yy7v3

Excited & freaked out (>2600 ppl registered) to start our workshop on quantitative methods for pop dynamics in R #RStats w/ @SarahCubaynes @abesnardEPHE @ThibautCouturie @ValentinLauret T Chambert @ColineCanonne Slides, codes, data & video recordings ➡️ oliviergimenez.github.io/pop…

📢👋 Together with @SarahCubaynes and @abesnardEPHE we will be giving a 2-day introductory workshop March 21-22 on quantitative methods for population dynamics in R #rstats Join us 🥳 It's online and free of charge 😉 You just need to register forms.gle/HkSYYYm8MDkT96ma9 Please RT 😇
Annoucement for a workshop on quantitative methods for population dynamics on March 21-22, 2022. Quantifying population dynamics is crucial for the conservation and management of animal and plant species. This workshop deals with the analysis and modelling of population dynamics. In this introductory workshop, we will cover population projection matrix models, the estimation of demographic parameters (e.g. survival, dispersal) using capture-recapture models and the estimation of population density and abundance using capture-recapture, N-mixture and distance sampling models. The format of the workshop will be a combination of lectures and practical sessions in R with packages popbio, RMark and unmarked. The workshop is online, free of charge, and will be video recorded. You just need to register here: https://forms.gle/HkSYYYm8MDkT96ma9

Replying to @SkypeScientist
@SkypeScientist has had a huge impact on my students. Recently talked to @avakiai and connected our 3rd grade unit re: sensory processing to her study of bats. Sts still talk about @IlesDT and his research in Antarctica. If you aren't signed up, do it!

Does anyone have a really good example of a visually appealing "data life cycle" flowchart? Something like: field data collection -> permanent storage -> QA/QC -> [???] -> analysis -> dissemination Or something?

I am absolutely devastated about Norm Macdonald. Norm had the most unique comedic voice I have ever encountered and he was so relentlessly and uncompromisingly funny. I will never laugh that hard again. I'm so sad for all of us today.

Delighted to announce that our new book "Demographic Methods across the Tree of Life", co-edited w @MGamelon for @OxUniPress will be out in Aug 2021 - so many talented demographers and contributions that we can't mention in a short tweet... you'll have to check it out! @OxZooDept
