Excited that our paper on measuring stability in systems without static equilibria is finally out!: https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4328
Applies a mix of EDM & state space modelling to separate observation error, process noise, & deterministic variability in timeseries. The EDM backbone can be fit to very complex timeseries with little or no a priori information about underlying processes. The result is akin to a "detrended" coefficient of variation (CV), after accounting for deterministic variability. 1/2
For the holiday, a thread on how to befriend crows.

Befriending crows is a wonderful thing.
I have many crow friends at home and at work. They bring joy at unexpected moments and can rescue a miserable day even without shaking down the dust of snow that Robert Frost described.
This thread is an updated version of one I posted at the bird site in July 2019.

A great summary of what is needed to design and implement realistic #degrowth policies. A key issue is that of scale: how to synchronize efforts from local communities, governments, and international bodies? what will be the incentives? social pressure alone will likely won't be enough?
Furthermore, I still miss more detailed roadmaps for economic transitions, quantifying transformation of different sectors, work reallocation, trade relationships, etc.

Mi favorito es una mezcla de lluvia, truenos y chimenea. Ya que no puedo tener mi cabaña en el lago, por lo menos tengo un sucedáneo.
As an ant biologist, I think the discovery of “ant milk” might be the single biggest research finding during my lifetime.
Across ants, maturing pupae make a nutritional exudate for their nestmates:
