Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs. But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅 First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti. #rstats #nudibranch #dataviz 🦑🐙🧪 #marinelife #invertebrates
Close up with a beautiful nudibranch on a rocky reef. The lower half of the image is a palette of swatches made from the nudi's vibrant colours.

There is no virtual replacement for synergies created during in person project meetings. Our annual @cambiomed-biodiversa.com meeting hosted in Pisa is a perfect example of it. A productive and bonding experience.

Parts of the Mediterranean Sea reached 30C this week, much earlier than usual, raising fears for marine life. For some areas, this is 6 or 7C warmer than usual at this time of year. Our story with more maps by @markpoynting.bsky.social and me here: www.bbc.com/news/article...
Map of sea surface temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea showing parts of it reached 30C such as off the coast of Calabria, and the islands of Majorca and Sicily. Below the map is a chart showing daily maximum temperature at a buoy next to Majorca where it reached 30C for the first time this early in the season.
