After I shared an animal dataviz earlier this month, some people asked to see the plants version 🌱 So here it is!

Plant observations added to the Atlas of Living Australia in 2024! 🌏🌼 Flowering plants really dominate!

#rstats #dataviz

For biodiversity month, I made this #dataviz of animal observations added to the Atlas of Living Australia in 2024! 🌏

🐦 Perching birds (eg songbirds, finches, magpies) are truly #1 🥇 & for good reason: They represent > half of all bird species globally!

I was having a real problem using {testthat} on a function with lots of {cli} messages because messages printed in my tests even though I didn't want them to 😑

But then I came across `purrr:quietly()`, which captures output, warnings and messages in a list rather than in the console 😀

#rstats

I only just discovered the `lst()` function from the {tibble} package, but it is so wonderfully convenient if you work with lists!

Normally, naming & renaming list elements is a pain 😑, but `tibble::lst()` retains the names of the elements used to make the list 😎

Every circle’s size is proportional to the number of observations each day since 2001
