Seguimos con el #30DayMapChallenge, y hoy toca hablar de incendios... @soniaillanas.bsky.social ha hecho este mapa de número de incendios y superficie quemada por municipio en la última década en España! En el código puedes ver cómo replicarlo y de dónde obtener datos⬇️👀! github.com/ecoinfAEET/2...

Seguimos con el #30DayMapChallenge y hoy toca temática minimalista! @juliagdealedo.bsky.social nos trae este mapa del mundo con las fronteras simplificadas, hecho en R y editado en Figma Si quieres aprender a hacerlo, tienes el código aquí!! ⬇️ github.com/ecoinfAEET/2...

El tema del día de hoy en el #30DayMapChallenge es "Urban", y para ello @elequintero.bsky.social ha generado este mapa global de producción de desperdicios por persona! Datos y código aquí! 💻⬇️ github.com/ecoinfAEET/2...

Y para el reto del día de hoy (6, Dimensions), otro mapa de @biomolic.bsky.social en el que, usando R, ha añadido relieve a un mapa geológico de Asturias de mediados del Siglo XX! Como siempre, el código está disponible en el repo de GitHub! github.com/ecoinfAEET/2... #30DayMapChallenge

Seguimos con el #30DayMapChallenge 2025! Aunque llegamos un par de días tarde, en el reto del día 3 tenemos este mapa de temperaturas que ha hecho @biomolic.bsky.social usando Python!! Tenéis el código disponible en el GitHub por si queréis echarle un ojo!! github.com/ecoinfAEET/2...

Comenzamos el reto #30DayMapChallenge 2025!! El tema de hoy es: Puntos, así que hemos pensado en hacer un mapa... con las ubicaciones de los y las integrantes de EcoInformática AEET! Es un mapa interactivo #leaflet, que además puedes ver alojado en nuestra web (ecoinfaeet.github.io/miembros.html)

When publishing a paper about an R package, how do you ensure the source code is permanently stored? CRAN or GitHub does not grant long-term persistence. Is issuing a DOI via linking GitHub with Zenodo a good idea for R packages? Or are there better ways? Maybe @ropensci.org knows.

Still fascinated with #webR and its potential for teaching stats Here students can play (even from their phones) and find out themselves how the p-value depends on sample size pakillo.github.io/LM-GLM-GLMM-... #rstats

The authors of a Comment article discuss how scientists, research institutions, funders, libraries and publishers must all improve software practices. They outline recommendations for an approach to handle software better. #Academicsky 🧪

Just over a week to go until the #30DayMapChallenge kicks off! If you're thinking about using #RStats for some or all of the challenge, you might find the section on visualizing spatial data in "The Art of Visualization with #ggplot2" helpful! 📊 Link: nrennie.rbind.io/art-of-viz/s... #DataViz

From policy to practice: progress towards #data- and #code-sharing in ecology and evolution #ProcB #OpenAccess royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Yet again, machine learning — even gussied up via the transformer architecture — encodes and reinforces societal biases. This study reveals that LLM-based peer review relies heavily on author institution in its decisions. arxiv.org/abs/2509.15122

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB! 🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

The latest paper from the DISCAR synthesis group is out at Ecology Letters! We discuss the key approaches to predicting human impacts on wildlife populations, highlighting avenues for incorporating indirect effects, such as energetic modelling. doi.org/10.1111/ele....

If you are planning to attend our biennial conference, abstract submission will close Sep 1, so be sure to submit and secure a spot! conferences.au.dk/tibs-aarhus-...

I've added a few new features to {grateful}, the package that facilitates citation of #rstats packages, and I'd love feedback before submitting to CRAN 🧵

Scientists overwhelmingly recognize the value of sharing null results, but rarely publish them in the research literature go.nature.com/450KElr

I will soon open up calls for a PhD student (free choice of topic as long as it fits to our group) and a scientific programmer / ecological data scientist. If you know what we are doing and would like to join our team, feel free to get in touch.

What do you think about open and reproducible science? In this new post published in the @eco-aeet.bsky.social blog, some of our editors show two cases that represent current challenges in relation to reproducibility. Take a look! blogaeet.org/2025/07/14/a...

NEW PAPER in @bmj.com "Dealing with continuous variables and modelling non-linear associations in healthcare data: practical guide" --> www.bmj.com/content/390/... #methodologymatters #StatsSky #EpiSky

not VIFs specifically, but I recently posted this list of papers I like about "why you shouldn't worry about multicollinearity so much": github.com/idworkin/McM...

👇👇

Statistics/Causal Inference folks, what are your favorite papers on why VIF is bad?

At this point, I might as well -- Here's an infographic showing different ways to include age as a predictor. The top shows two extremes, just as a plain old numerical predictor (imposes linear trajectory) vs. categorical predictor (imposes nothing whatsoever). And then three solutions in between!

🌲 New R package: forestdata makes it easy to download forestry and land cover data from multiple sources (Copernicus, ESRI, EU-Trees4F, and more). Supports sf, SpatRaster, and tidy outputs. Explore it here: cidree.github.io/forestdata/ #rstats #rspatial #forestry #landcover

So, you've created a couple of functions that you use over and over again... 📦 Let's use `usethis` and `devtools` to create our package: cran.r-project.org/web/packages... cran.r-project.org/web/packages... First, check system requirements and Git setup: 👉 forwards.github.io/package-dev/...

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...

New #rstats blog up! solomonkurz.netlify.app/blog/2025-07... This is the first in a brief series where we use {brms} to learn {Stan} code. Many thanks to @fusaroli.bsky.social and @stephenjwild.bsky.social for their helpful reviews.

So, has this reached us yet? Yes, it did. I did a quick #rstats analysis of the literature in ecology. 📊 🔗 See my new blog post: www.pieceofk.fr/the-rise-of-...

Here is my checklist summarising a small set of some of the simplest tasks you can do that have high potential to improve the reproducibility of your analysis code. This is based on my year of reproducibility reviews for the J. of Archaeological Science: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lHjN_6yUM... 🧪🏺

New blog post since @posit.co's Positron is out of beta: Positron is great for code, but macOS has better programs specifically for writing with Markdown. I found a neat way to quickly open a Quarto file in an external program like Typora with VS Code Tasks. www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/07...
