BREAKING: Biden admin will waive 26 laws to build border walls through South Texas wildlife refuge & nearby communities.

Biden's DHS will take “immediate action" to speed wall construction, casting aside protections for endangered species, clean water, Indigenous graves & more.

@scottgordonwi Hopleaf?!?

@chase_prairie I’ve tried this with Phalaris, lots of work so props these look great! Figured it could be a good way to put some reed canary to use

@scottgordonwi You probably won’t be surprised to hear it’s just more nasty capitalism and breeders’ intellectual property of genetics 👍

@RileyPizza Seems like a great addition to the field and looking forward to digging in, thanks for all the hard work!

@MineralDisk Not a blog, but can’t forget Fangs and arrows

@chase_prairie Cool idea! Our colleagues on our NSF-BII project are developing an iPhone app for this type of thing, not sure how they plan on tackling isolating individuals. Interested in hearing how this works out for the lawn alternatives project

@GoodWillsmith Heavy list. Maybe some room to throw in a Six Organs or Hala Strana album somewhere?

[Jacob Z @tapewarble]

@GoodWillsmith Could always ruin your day at Kauffman’s instead, you’ve got options

[Jacob Z @tapewarble]

@chase_prairie doing a huge service for newbie veg surveyors with all these baby sedge and grass IDs. Honestly, non newbies too

When you try to dunk on Chicago by saying "What about Chicago?" that's when we know you know nothing about Chicago. I've been most places, Chicago is fucking awesome.

@coolbutuseless This is excellent! Well beyond an 808, but would be cool to see variable step lengths per track (for polyrhythms), maybe Euclidean sequences or per step probability. Great work

@imenarv Maybe email Jim Steffen? Pretty sure he freezes his moth specimens before pinning etc

@hadleywickham We commonly use this in plant ecology - vegetation data taken in long format with species and abundance, needs to be pivoted to wide to make species as columns with abundance values in order to calculate diversity indices or prepare for ordinations
