Nations need to work together to recover vital #seagrass & #mangroves ecosystems 🌎🌱 In a new paper led by @ChristinABuelow learn how ambitious global targets can inspire coordinated action to protect & restore these ecosystems. Read the paper at: https://t.co/nhdWfEhaNc

Despite large losses, declining trends can be reversed in some places Local context is important to inform management at scales that matter Checkout the full details here - https://t.co/pM3ypaYYVq @GlobalChangeBio #seagrass #openaccess #CWTC21 5/5

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 #CWTC21 4/5

What is the global status of seagrass meadows? ~ 20% of surveyed seagrass area has been lost since 1884 Good news: since the 2000s declining trends have stabilised/reversed in some bioregions Local scale: trends varied from meadow to meadow despite regional trends #CWTC21 3/5

We reconstructed time-series of seagrass meadows over the last 70 – 130 years from 547 sites These sites spanned 7 bioregions, filled historical gaps, and covered 1/10 of global seagrass habitats @bluecology @turschwell@ConnollyLab @redlipblenny @globalwetlands #CWTC21 2/5

#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

Just saw this in a manuscript. This is a very common practice and it is incorrect. Don't do it!

Great article on coding habits that pay off in data work. Applies equally well to #rstats. https://t.co/fZmJfDiP9K

Exciting new features in #rstats #ggplot2! I finally managed to finish the last PR from my @rstudio internship, making it easier to deal with overlapping labels in #ggplot2! https://t.co/3MBf9tW1OU

Fabulous #ggplot resource for anyone looking to up their game on beautiful #rstats plotting

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:

Catching myself up on the latest mapping pkgs in #rstats. https://t.co/dgbaK2glAQ. The whole book is an amazing resource! @statsbeerz @E2ocean
