Interested in metacommunity simulations or how remote imagery and modeling can be used to understand diatom biodiversity in the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica? See our latest paper: doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2020.52…, with @antMARKtica and scientists from @MCM_LTER @NEON_sci
Another great opportunity! This makes me wish I was looking for grad programs.
Please, RT: I have a funded PhD position available. Opportunity to develop research on topics such as: metacommunity stability; keystone communities; predictability of biodiversity responses to environmental change. ferg.org.nz #biodiversity #ecology #phd #NewZealand
We're hiring! Feel free to message me if you have questions about the position at @NEON_sci

New blog post! Learn about ongoing updates to the EFI @NEON_sci Ecological Forecasting Challenge dashboard including the ability to synthesize across forecasts, provide summary metrics, and a self diagnostic platform for teams that submit to the Challenge.

Great to see this product out from the #metacommunities @USLTER synthesis working group.
@nwisnoski led the pub and many others contributed during meetings, all pre-COVID, at @ucsb_nceas and @NEON_sci

ALT Diversity–stability relationships for aggregate and compositional variability at the metacommunity scale, in relation to the temporal average of regional gamma-diversity (a-b), the temporal average of spatial beta-diversity (c-d), and the temporal average of mean alpha-diversity (e-f)

Congrats @rquinnthomas & the rest of the @NEON_sci @eco4cast team for getting the NEON Forecast Challenge description paper out in @ESAFrontiers! As of today, 9560 forecasts have already been submitted to the Challenge by the ecological community: join us! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

I had a chance to talk about some collaborative work with @antMARKtica @mgooseff @colddirt @lstanish @PlanetSkyentist @snpowpow where we are using @MCM_LTER and @polargeospatial data map and understand biodiversity in microbial mats in the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica.
On Ross Island, at the foot of a volcano, is McMurdo Station- the largest research outpost on the Antarctic Continent.
NEON's Eric Sokol (@Antarctic_Bio) works with @MCM_LTER to gather and produce ecological data and resources. Read more in a new blog! buff.ly/3JgUbdl

Still time to apply to this position! Any ecologists with machine learning experiences are encouraged to apply.
We are hiring a postdoc to develop machine learning methods to extract phenological information from images. Ecologists with ML or data science skills are strongly encouraged to apply! Remote working is possible. Please RT and spread the word, thanks! lsu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/LS…
Great opportunity for folks looking for a postdoc focusing on biodiversity and remote sensing. Also, @record_lab is awesome!

Thanks @_djli for leading project! Great to see it come out, and such a pleasure to work with this group!
Standardized @NEON_sci organismal data for biodiversity research; finally published for a long time. Hopefully it will be useful for the community. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wi… Great team work with @record_lab @Antarctic_Bio @yyachung @majarzyna @MRHelmus @PLZarnetske and many others
