Scientific publishing has shifted but not improved. First, readers couldn’t access papers. Now, authors can’t afford to publish them (APCs ~$3000). With today’s open-source tools, it may actually be cheaper for institutions to run journals than to pay APCs. #OpenAccess #DiamondOA #OpenScience
The journal Science of the Total Environment has now been removed from the Web of Science index! A dramatic fall triggered by editorial practices that inflated number of articles, including some approved through fake peer reviews. #Science #OpenScience #Research #OpenAccess #ScienceForAll 👇
Just released a flexible #LaTeX template for short #CV! - Modular layout panels - Optional bibliography/reference section - Clear styling for academic and professional use Check it out on github.com/ptarroso/shortCV #DataScience #OpenSource #Publications #Resume

Happy to share the third paper from David Ferrer-Ferrando's PhD project, published in @ecography.bsky.social, about abundance–suitability relationships 📈🐦📊 Check it out! nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @pacevedo.bsky.social @ptarroso.bsky.social
Disentangling the effect of the spatial scale and species spatial pattern on the abundance–suitability relationship
Knowledge about species abundance across broad spatial areas is crucial for unraveling ecological processes. Yet, abundance estimation often demands extensive sampling effort associated with logistic...

To those who claim Israelis and Palestinians cannot live together: Anyone can live peacefully with their neighbor if they choose to. These artists have shown us even more — they create together, strengthen their voice as brothers, and prove what others call impossible. Listen to them! ✊

A starter pack for people studying how human affect biodiversity and ecosystem functioning at global scale, across terrestrial and marine realms & conservation challenges. Sounds like Global Ecology ! sure I missed many people, reply to be added, and share to spread ! go.bsky.app/V6tN4cv 🧪🌍🦤🦑🪴
If you have point data on maps and need to retrieve coordinates, check out the updated #speciesdigitizer R package! It's now compatible with the latest packages to ensure full functionality. Explore it here: github.com/ptarroso/speciesdigitizer #GIS #Mapping #DataAnalysis
A starter pack of scientists that use a variety of platforms and sensors to detect, monitor and measure plants and animals. Please reply to be included or removed. I’ll add folks who have relevant terms in their bio. ECRs and PhDs welcome! 🧪🦊 #auswildlife #drones #cameratraps go.bsky.app/eFMQQX
Have you ever needed to spatialize genetic distances without relying on models like niche modeling? I built #Phylin a few years ago, an R package for that! The original purpose was to produce #spatialdata bringing #evolutionary insights into conservation prioritization. 🌍🧬 1/5 #rstats
Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

This a great website! They mapped streets in major European cities and identified how many are named after people... Around 91% of these are named after men... A mapped view on lack of diversity. #map #gis

BTW, my own online R tutorial is at github.com/matloff/fasteR. I originally wrote it for a young relative who needed it for her university classes in psychology. Many have found it useful, either for themselves or for recommendations to new learners.
