#30DayChartChallenge Día 13: Clusters Animales! 🐾 Explorando la relación Masa Corporal vs Longevidad Máxima. #RelationshipsWeek

Usando un dataset de Kaggle (+170 especies, ¡gracias S. Banerjee!) y tras una divertida limpieza de datos con rangos/unidades mixtas 😅, este scatter plot log-log revela patrones.

Coloreamos por Dieta: 🥩Carnívoro(verde) 🌿Herbívoro(ocre) ❓Omnívoro(azul).
Se ve la tendencia general (más grande = más longevo), pero los clústeres por dieta sugieren distintas **estrategias de historia de vida**. ¿Cómo gestionan su energía y longevidad según lo que comen? 🤔

¡Una visualización para explorar la alometría y la diversidad ecológica!

🛠️ #rstats #ggplot2 y mi nuevo tema #theme_week3_animals.
📂 Código/Viz: t.ly/ehPiu

Scatter plot log-log que muestra la relación entre la Longevidad Máxima (años, eje Y) y la Masa Corporal (kg, eje X) para aproximadamente 170 especies animales. Los puntos están coloreados según la dieta: verde para Carnívoro, naranja/ocre para Herbívoro y azul apagado para Omnívoro. Se observa una tendencia general positiva. Los puntos de diferentes dietas muestran cierta agrupación y solapamiento. El gráfico utiliza un tema con fondo beige claro y textos en marrón. Título: "Relación Masa Corporal vs. Longevidad en Animales". Fuente: Kaggle dataset by Sourav Banerjee.

I think I am going to get some stickers made. IYKYK. Don't spoil it in comments. Any interest? I'm trying to determine if I need to do a really low volume or if I should just go for 50 or something. I'd ask for $2-$3 which should cover cost + mailing. Vinyl, quality, 3" circle. Pls comment if interested so I have a decent way to get an idea of interest. Thanks!

A circular sticker layout where earth tones and blue are are the colors. In a mint green bordered by blue it says on the top "Protect Cave Life". There are brown cave formations and cave background is gray, with blue water below and some drips. Left is a big brown bat, right is a springtail, and bottom right is a cave crayfish. Their scientific names are in tiny text at the bottom, and IYKYK is hidden within... Eptesicus fuscus Pseudosinella dubia Cabarus tartarus

Business lobby: Finland must stick to climate target to ensure economic growth

The main business group, EK, pushed back against calls to postpone Finland's 2035 carbon-neutrality target. It said that investments depend on predictable, consistent policies, regardless of shifts in the political winds

XR explained that butyric acid was used as a symbol to counteract the chemical scents of Zara’s perfumes, highlighting the contrast with the "true scent of fast fashion."

XR accused Zara of human rights violations in its supply chain, including slave labor, child labor, sexism, low wages, and exploitation both in production and within its stores

NEW INTRODUCTION! After 3 years, some of my interests pivoted and some are just not on fedi.

I'm a one man company that mostly does 2D computer animation but I also do interactive writing and co-creating the first ever video game completely about larp!

Future flood susceptibility mapping under climate and land use change

Analysis under the SSP585 scenario indicates a 1.9 km2 rise in moderate flood areas, a 36.26 km2 increase in high-risk zones, and a 21.94 km2 decline in very low-risk areas, highlighting expansion of high and moderate flood risk areas

NatureFuture flood susceptibility mapping under climate and land use change - Scientific ReportsFloods are a significant natural hazard, causing severe damage. Understanding how climate change and land use and land cover (LULC) changes influence flood patterns is crucial for developing sustainable management strategies. This research aims to develop flood susceptibility maps considering the impacts of climate change and land use changes, providing insights into risks from urbanization and climate shifts. Three machine learning models—XGBoost, Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM)—optimized with Particle Swarm Optimization, were applied to the flood-prone Kashkan watershed in Iran. Results showed that distance from the river, digital elevation model, precipitation, and LULC were the most influential factors. The RF model outperformed others in mapping flood-prone areas, with high-risk zones covering 20% (1908 km2) of the region, primarily in built-up areas. Land use projections for 2050, using the CA-MARKOV model, estimate built-up areas will expand to 859.3 km2. Future precipitation patterns were examined using 8 selected general circulation models under the SSP126 and SSP585 scenarios. Analysis under the SSP585 scenario indicates a 1.9 km2 rise in moderate flood areas, a 36.26 km2 increase in high-risk zones, and a 21.94 km2 decline in very low-risk areas, highlighting expansion of high and moderate flood risk areas.

Treetops at Risk
Challenges of Global Canopy Ecology and Conservation by Margaret Lowman et al, 2013

Forest canopies not only support high terrestrial biodiversity but also represent a critical interface between the atmosphere and the earth. They provide goods and services to support diverse human communities and offer opportunities to explore sustainable use of these resources for many generations of local livelihoods.

Forest canopies are important carbon sequestration units, and in this sense, serve as climate control for the planet. Canopies are important energy production centers for the planet, and serve as the basis for many food chains. The canopy can also act as a hook for education outreach and conservation, inspiring ecotourism through recreation and other sustainable uses such as treetop walks, zip lines, and birding. Despite these critical services provided by forest canopies, almost no dedicated research in the treetops was initiated until as recently as the late 1970s when single rope techniques were developed by mountaineering professionals and adapted for use in the canopy. Subsequently, an array of canopy access tools was designed in the 1980s and early 1990s that have opened up this “eighth continent” for global exploration and discovery. This volume uses the major findings of the 5th international canopy conference as a platform for organization, but it does not mimic the sessions and presentations of the conference itself. Instead, it builds on the important themes that emerged from the conference and solicits articles that represent future priorities and advancements for canopy science in the next decade. Despite the global efforts of hundreds of forest scientists over the past 3 decades, forests are degrading at an accelerated rate and biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human activities.

How did the @ScientistRebellion movement emerge and spread so quickly around the world? My new book, Science in Resistance (out in October with UC Press) documents the evolution of the SR movement over the past 5 years. Combining personal stories, interviews with scientist-activists, and insights from research on direct action and academia, I explore the challenges scientists face when taking a stand for climate and ecological justice.

Half of the proceeds will go to SR and allied climate justice groups.

Nearly half of Africans believe their governments should lead on climate action, survey finds

A survey across 39 countries found that 45% of informed respondents blame national governments most, while 30% place responsibility on ordinary citizens
