Had a great time attending my third #SpeciesOnTheMove conference last month in Taiwan! Thanks to the @sotm2026.bsky.social organizing team for a great program and to attendees for inspiring presentations and stimulating conversations. New data and inferences on species range shifts coming soon!

Congrats to @jakelawlor.bsky.social for winning best student talk at @sotm2026.bsky.social. Big idea: we might be missing latitudinal range shifts if we rely on small-scale studies.

📊 Five #ggplot2 functions I wish I'd known about earlier 📊 I've written a short blog (with examples) of some of the lesser-known {ggplot2} functions and arguments that make it easier to create better charts! Link: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/five-gg... #RStats #DataViz

Five ggplot2 functions I wish I’d known about earlier – Nicola Rennie

There are a few small tweaks you can make to your ggplot2 code to improve your charts. However, they’re not often mentioned. So here’s a few functions and arguments I wish I’d known about earlier.

How should we predict the future for biodiversity? Should models focus on responses of individual species, or projections of change at community scales? Happy to see this short commentary discussing different modeling strategies and their utilities out now in Global Change Biology.

Is California’s network of science-based marine protected areas (MPAs) effective at conserving marine fish populations? The answer is a resounding yes, according to a new study from the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A school of blue rockfish swim in the Kelp Forest exhibit at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Their gray and white patterned scales stand out in stark contrast against the darker golden brown blades of the kelp.

Late intro to Bluesky- I'm Jake. I'm a final-year PhD candidate at McGill U studying #ClimateChange, #RangeShifts, and #MarineConservation. Here to connect, chat science, and find an #RStats job post-PhD. Heres me conducting seasonal subaquatic faunal surveys (read: ice fishing) in QC last month.
