Hello new followers! Here's one of my favorite older comics.
Disabled Hikers commissioned me to create this #illustration of #Jimothy to highlight how #disability is found in a wide range of species in #nature! Posters, stickers, tshirts, and soon an embroidery pattern benefiting Disabled Hikers' mission at www.disabledhikers.com/category/all... #raccoons 🌿 🦊

published ahead of print in @asn-amnat.bsky.social, by me et al.: doi.org/10.1086/743270 the first test (I think) of dynamic range models (spatially explicit population dynamic models) for mechanistic forecasting of near-term range shifts. they outperform a traditional species distribution model!

Excited to speak at @mainerusergroup.bsky.social next Thursday at 10:00PST//13:00EST//18:00BST where I will be talking about how we can move modeling into the database with {orbital}! Fully remote event, all are welcome! www.meetup.com/maine-r-user...
I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

Realizing how much easier my life is now that I can use orbital to deploy my prediction models no need to save artifacts, build ETL pipelines to prep / featurize, github actions to deploy / push, wait times to load initialize and predict I'm in love. #rstats orbital.tidymodels.org

From Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute: the flapjack octopus, genus 'Opisthoteuthis'. They have little flappy "ears", can squish down on the ocean bottom like tiny pancakes. A new species has been proposed in Monterey Bay that would be called O. adorabilis because it's ADORABLE. (📷: MBARI)

ICYMI: New online! How to run a language-inclusive international conference
How to run a language-inclusive international conference
Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 10 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-026-00180-yThe default use of English limits participation by non-native English speakers in international conferences. At the 32nd International Congress for Conservation Biology, we implemented interventions to support participants and demonstrated that they substantially reduced language barriers. We outline key factors for success, areas for improvement and guidance for future efforts.
