🌱Webinar: Seagrass at risk
📅 22 / 23 Feb
us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi…
#Seagrasses are important coastal ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by human activities
We need to know where and why seagrasses are in decline to improve management
#CWTC21 1/5
Coastal development and water quality were the 2 most common drivers of change
But attributions of drivers to change in meadow area were often weak
This can lead to overconfidence in importance and ubiquity of drivers, or overlook effects of co-occurring drivers

Thanks to @zevross' cheatsheet I've learned so much about beautiful plotting in #rstats with #ggplot2 - back in 2016 I replicated it and added some more details tweaks.
Today this tutorial got another update and has found a new home on my homepage 🎉 bit.ly/2M2dYCa
At our deepest eelgrass site in Bazan Bay, shoots are taller than Kelley! (2.6 m) It was more like diving in an eelgrass forest. Can't wait to go back.
What will we cover in our Community Call on Research Applications of rOpenSci Taxonomy & Biodiversity Tools?
2 speakers will cover key #rstats packages and 4 speakers will talk about their use cases
Thread with details...
Major #rstats#reproducibility PSA - Narrow but significant bias issue in sample() (id'ed by @kellieotto P Stark) fixed in r-devel. Be aware set.seed sample code ***will give different results*** than in previous R versions by default. Credit D Murdoch @LukeTierney4
The #UBC RStudy group is putting on a short introductory #Rstats workshop on March 8th! There are still spots available, see details here: ubc-r-study-group.github.io/…
