Hey #rstats folks. Since the raster package and it’s getData function are no longer maintained by CRAN, how are people working with, say, WorldClim data in R now?

I'm still recruiting graduate students to start in August 2024. I'm going to be scheduling interviews soon. Students will have wide latitude to pursue research on systematics, conservation genetics, phylogenetics, and/or taxonomy on freshwater mollusks or fishes.

I can't easily put into words just how proud I am of my team at the Center for Conservation & Research, San Antonio Zoo. We frequently work with subterranean fauna... and another "first-ever" - one of our Oklahoma Cave Crayfish has successfully hatched 50 babies!

An absolute legend! I spent 18 months down the hallway from Ets. He was so passionate about fish and caddisflies. And so kind and generous to me as an aspiring fish ecologist. My heart goes out to family and friends. hellbenderpress.org/news/dav…

Hey #teamfish is anybody doing modal progression analysis these days? I’ve used FISAT II in the past, but there must be an #rstats package out there.

Looks like an awesome symposium! I’ve been dabbling in urban streams in San Antonio, but unfortunately won’t be in GR this year. @AlliVeach and @Jen_A_Smith1 are doing cool urban eco work here too.

The undetectability of global trends on local species richness: our paper out today in @EcographyJourna. I think this settles the so called biodiversity change paradox.

A benefit of being a field biologist? You can always wear field gear while waiting on ‘normal adult’ laundry. Also, go @Bengals!

Dipped my toes in the saltwater realm today in the Nueces Bay. Added a few new families to the @utsaib teaching collection. And enjoyed my first mullet (fish)!
