植物と昆虫の共生関係保つ未知の「妥協点」 3万超の小花分析し解明：朝日新聞

Good article, but the framing is wrong. There is not a dearth of interest in taxonomy. There is a scarcity of funding and positions, which is a deliberate choice by funding agencies and institutions. The youth love taxonomy! It's the olds that are failing to meet their passion!
The text at the top reads: “APPS Special Issue Call for Papers: Plant genome skimming: Special uses and future potential”. The image beneath the title shows a phylogenetic tree on the left side, with images illustrating each genus in the tree on the right. Images from top to bottom are Hypogymnia inactiva, Imshaugia aleurites, Cladonia asahinae, Leptogium sp., Graphis plumierae, Opegrapha niveoatra. The text beneath the image reads: “Proposal deadline March 16, 2026”. The Applications in Plant Sciences logo is in the bottom left corner, and a QR code is in the bottom right corner.
DEADLINE IN 2 WEEKS

The first version of FigTree was released nearly 20 years ago and it is still widely used (including by me). But there are currently 85 issues on the GitHub repo (github.com/rambaut/figt...) and some of them I don’t really like the look of.
This is wonderful! Congratulations!
ah that warm fuzzy feeling when you get the monthly email from some stupid hotel or restaurant that you went to ONE time and never plan to go back to again ever but are stuck on their mailing list for life 💢
New paper alert! "Estimating global bee species richness and taxonomic gaps" suggests that we have thousands of bee species left to describe and decades of taxonomic work ahead of us. We also provide the methods needed to apply more broadly :)

Quarto Wizard v2.2.0 is out for VS Code and Positron.
New: schema-aware authoring (completions, hover, validation for Quarto extensions), extension snippets, compatibility badges, and brand support.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels
What to learn more about the enigmatic organism Prototaxites?? Have a read of our new Quick Guide in @currentbiology.bsky.social
It includes another great palaeo-reconstruction of the Rhynie ecosystem from @matt-humpage.bsky.social
#rstats 4.5.3 "Reassured Reassurer" scheduled for March 11. Full schedule on developer.r-project.org (or the svn if you're impatient.) This should be the wrap-up release for the 4.5 series.

Thanks, this looks great! Will definitely give it a try for my next slide deck
+1 to this! I love my Quarto slides but I shudder thinking about how much time I’ve sunk into trying to get text / images in the place I want on a slide

They just don’t get it - they’re trying to replace the part of our job we like the *most*.
If they could make an AI tool to vibe-complete travel, reimbursement, and annual reporting paperwork they would make a fucking FORTUNE
If you're an #EcoEvo #PhD candidate anywhere in the world looking for project funding, consider applying for the @asn-amnat.bsky.social Student Research Award.
Ten proposals for $2k in research funds will be awarded. Due 13 March 2026.
Please share widely! 🧪 #grants #ecology #evolution #behavior

This looks great, thanks for sharing. I’m interested in developing a course like this but at a much more introductory level.
So yeah, already fourth iteration of my Data Analysis with AI course. gabors-data-analysis.com/ai-course/ All open source. I have an intro overview of AI and its use in data. gabors-data-analysis.com/courses/da-w...

Letting "AI agents" roam should be illegal, and any harm they cause should cause fines high enough to bankrupt anyone.

Wow that is crazy and should make anyone involved in open source concerned. Unfortunately this is surely moving way too fast for any legislation to keep up.
New Git exercises in the #RStats package {saperlipopette}, about using the history!
