Morphological data are essential for reconstructing evolutionary histories, particularly for fossil taxa, as they represent the primary source of information for integrating extinct lineages into ...
palaeoverse is a community-driven R package of generic functions to help streamline palaeobiological analyses and improve code readability and reproducibility. This is our last version before a major refactor in Autumn, supported by funding from the @softwaresaved.bsky.social.
Highlights include:
āØ New tax_certainty() function
š Grouping support in tax_range_time()/strat()
š axis_geo() gains title & autofitting
š§ Lots of under-the-hood improvements

What is conservation paleobiology? š¦š§Ŗ CPB is an applied science which uses historical and paleontological data to inform conservation practice for species and ecosystems.
Excited to share our new paper in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social on data and code archiving at @britishecologicalsociety.org journals. TL;DR: Data archiving rates are high, code archiving rates are low, documentation needs to be improved! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.....
Data- and code-archiving are important components of open science, as both make research more transparent, reproducible, accountable and credible, allowing future researchers to build on previous ...
