Robust coexistence in competitive ecological communities - Nature Communications

Species compete intensely with their own kind, and this self-limitation shapes how species coexist within communities. This study shows that in large competitive ecological communities, coexistence is...

Competition enables rapid adaptation to a warming range edge in a model plant community

Most predictions of whether populations will adapt to warming range edges ignore species interactions. We experimentally tested whether range-edge populations can adapt to warming within a competitive...

📊 Five #ggplot2 functions I wish I'd known about earlier 📊 I've written a short blog (with examples) of some of the lesser-known {ggplot2} functions and arguments that make it easier to create better charts! Link: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/five-gg... #RStats #DataViz

Five ggplot2 functions I wish I’d known about earlier – Nicola Rennie

There are a few small tweaks you can make to your ggplot2 code to improve your charts. However, they’re not often mentioned. So here’s a few functions and arguments I wish I’d known about earlier.

LTERがアーカイブされただと。。。？それは流石にヤバいぞ。。。。

NSF LTER program “archived”. LTER=“Long Term Ecological Research”. This program has been incredibly successful, incredibly frugal for what they accomplish, and…of course…targeted by evil know-nothings. My heart is breaking.
