On Wednesday, we carried out a 2-part experiment on the effects of good food and great company on a community of ecologists and statisticians at the REC Christmas party.
N = 31.
Community structure: Skewed towards postdocs with some professors and other staff.
Initial results: Very promising! 🎄✨

Kartoittajamme ovat jälleen uurastaneet Ahvenanmaan maastossa laskemassa täpläverkkoperhosen toukkapesiä.
Kartoitusten puoliväli on ohitettu ja hyvältä näyttää!
Toukkapesiä on löytynyt jo yli 1600 eli kokonaissumma tulee olemaan moninkertainen huonoon viime vuoteen verrattuna! 🐛
