Chris Thacker and I have published a new review on the phylogenetics and biology of acanthopterygian fishes. This lineage includes more than 19,100 species, comprising nearly one third of all species of vertebrate animals!

Amidst continued terminations in the nation's federal workforce, AFS joined forces with @foresters, @rangelands, and @wildlifesociety to issue a statement in support of federal employees and their critical conservation work: fisheries.org/2025/02/natura…

Last week, a video of a rare black seadevil anglerfish spotted near the ocean surface made headlines because anglerfish typically live in very deep waters.
Dr. @Sternarchella joins us to discuss the video and recent research on anglerfish evolution.

Since it is Presidents' Day, here is the Highland Darter (Etheostoma teddyroosevelt), named (scientific name) after the 26th president of the U.S., Teddy Roosevelt. It can be found in the Arkansas River drainage and upper reaches of the White River drainage on the Ozark Plateau.

After "WILD caught" they should add "...and it's been in the wild a loooong time. Like seriously, have you ever eaten something as old as your grandparents?"

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

Very proud of this paper led by @L_DBall where we examine what ‘Unexplored’ means in a natural history context - we recommend ‘biodiversity blindspots’ instead for places that lack digitized public data

Introducing fastml: your all-in-one R package for streamlined machine learning workflows! Whether it’s classification or regression, fastml handles automatic data splitting, preprocessing, model training, hyperparameter tuning, and evaluation—no heavy lifting required.
Just point fastml() at your dataset and target, and watch it train multiple models, pick the best one, and present easy-to-read summaries. For classification tasks, get metrics like Accuracy, F1, Kappa, Precision, Sensitivity, Specificity, and ROC AUC. For regression, compare RMSE, R-squared, and MAE. It plots performance bar charts and ROC curves so you can visualize everything at a glance.
No more juggling dozens of packages or writing repetitive code. fastml integrates seamlessly with tidymodels, ensuring state-of-the-art machine learning practices are just a single function call away. Whether you’re new to R or a seasoned data scientist, fastml helps you focus on insights, not boilerplate.
Try fastml() today and experience a faster, cleaner, and more elegant way to do machine learning in R!

My student Griffin just sent me this profoundly sad photo of a Great Bowerbird bower. The painting on the right depicts what the bower should look like, filled with pebbles, shells, and bones. Nowadays, the birds use what they can most easily find in their surroundings: garbage.

this year, I'm having students in my conservation genetics class complete an end-of-the-semester project that involves performing basic analyses / manipulations of SNP data with scikit-allel. sharing materials here in case it is helpful: github.com/elinck/conservati…

Looking to create stunning, data-rich maps in R? The tidyterra package makes it simple to integrate spatial data with ggplot2, bringing the power of the tidyverse to geospatial analysis. With tidyterra, you can work with spatial data just like any other data set in ggplot2.
✔️ Ease of Use: Simplifies map creation by integrating with ggplot2, using familiar functions and syntax, which reduces the complexity of working with spatial data.
✔️ Flexible Visualizations: Supports a variety of geospatial formats, allowing you to combine spatial data with other data sets, and work seamlessly with both raster and vector data.
✔️ Efficient Data Handling: Leverages dplyr-like functions for filtering, summarizing, and joining, which streamlines data processing and enables smooth integration between spatial and non-spatial data.
✔️ Beautiful Maps: Create detailed, customizable maps with less code and more flexibility, using the grammar of graphics you already know from ggplot2.
The visualizations shown here are taken from the package website and demonstrate how tidyterra simplifies creating detailed maps using ggplot2: dieghernan.github.io/tidyter…
If you’d like to learn more about ggplot2 and how to create stunning visualizations, check out my online course on “Data Visualization in R Using ggplot2 & Friends,” starting on November 25, 2024! See this link for additional information: statisticsglobe.com/online-c…
