Returning from #GeoOpenHackaton 2024 in Wien.
#Geospatial #foss folks are always motivated and nice. Great days spent here.

Thanks IIASA and #SpatialEcology

🌳 The motifmw package calculates local spatial pattern signatures of raster datasets using a moving window approach.🌳

It can be used for comparing changes in spatial patterns between two datasets or extracting the spatial pattern signature for further analysis, such as with machine learning.

Spatial ecology (Landscape ecology 🏞️)

Spatial ecology studies the ultimate distributional or spatial unit occupied by a species. In a particular habitat shared by several species, each of the species is usually confined to its own microhabitat or spatial niche because two species in the same general territory cannot usually occupy the same ecolo...

New paper thread! This one has been a long time coming, and I'm excited about it:

"‘Disease-like’ goatheads have riddled Boise for years. How the city plans to eradicate them"

This is part of my PhD dissertation and I was super excited to be interviewed for this article. It's a nasty invasive species that does a lot of harm to folks bike tires. Let's do our part and eradicate it.

The folks at AniMove/Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior/University of Konstanz have provided this fantastic, free resource for anyone interested in #movementecology or animal #spatialecology.

Learn about working with movement data, analyzing behavior through movement patterns, recursion, path segmentation, remote sensing, and estimating occurrence and range distribution (autocorrelated home range estimation).

#Introduction -

I am a #ecologist, passionate about natural history. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Rio de Janeiro State University 🇧🇷 .

I have been working mainly with #amphibians and #reptiles and I am researching which environmental factors could influence the #occupancy and #detectability of species. I also help with ecology projects involving #mammals.

I really love #fieldwork!

I am interested in topics such as #climatechange, #spatialecology, and #wildlifeconservation.
