Okay, but Claude's commentary while helping me set up a ray cluster on National Research Platform (NRP) is pretty entertaining: Claude: (proposes 2 worker-config) Me: why two workers? Claude: (queries resources) Claude: "HOLY MOLY! Your cluster has nodes with 57TB of memory and 13,800 CPUs!"

By combining theory, modelling and empirical work, Luo et al. show that species synchrony decreases with time series length and its relationship with diversity switches from positive to negative www.nature.com/articles/s41...

{tinytable} is a dead simple, ultra-flexible, and dependency-free #Rstats 📦 to turn data frames into beautiful tables: html, word, pdf, latex, typst, markdown, etc. v0.10.0 has cool new features and important bug fixes. Check out the detailed tutorials at: vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/

🧪 New paper: how can we turn decades of work to quantify the structure of species interaction networks into something relevant for biodiversity monitoring and management? @gabdans.bsky.social lays out the roadmap in a new paper in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

When colleagues ask me what I'm working on now, I mutter about "scientific workflow". Good scientific projects are entangled networks of assumptions and models and measurements in which the logic of each connection is transparent and can be checked. Working on 2 books and an ERC about this. >>

🚨📃🧪 New paper out: "Impacts of diverse undersown cover crops on seasonal soil microbial properties". Rashmi Shrestha used the #TWINWIN experiment to show that undersowing crops with diverse plant mixtures, particularly including legumes has beneficial effects on soil microbial life and function 1/6

New paper from the lab: how do we make probabilistic species interaction networks more useful and robust? @francisbanville.bsky.social has some thoughts, and went through the literature to map mathematical definitions to ecological concepts. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🧪

Coral reef calcification adds CO2 to the ocean. As coral reef building is slowed by climate change, the ocean may be able to take and store up to 11% more carbon by 2300, improving odds of reaching net zero without negative emissions. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
