Status for December 5

05 Dec 2016

What have I worked on?

missingLinks: last minute text tweaks. Wrote cover letter and stalked reviewers. Submitted to PLoS Computational Biology. Fingers crossed.
parasiteSAR: Colin’s in. Repo created. Need to get IUCN shapefiles for mammals and examine differences between my data and that data. Hopefully they are at least proportional.
thresholdDensity: project has sadly hit the backburner. Worked on reviving it today. Edited responses to reviewers, and passed along to collaborators for their input.
reading: this and this
networkEWS: pushed along conceptually, and laid down a bit of code to make prettier plots. Needs a bit more backbone. Work on this tonight.

rangeLean: Visual Studio installed, so it’s time to C++ it up. Robin will not be able to push this along until after her quals (makes sense), so use the model for exploration. Start mapping out what final plots should look like.
professionalService: review second manuscript
macroHelminth: push along the connectance argument (or trim it down), as it confused the shit out of some people at the RCN.
checkerboard: scale landscape size down (can be as small as two patches). This will make the experiment more feasible, and enhance replication. It can be argued that 2 patches would impose dispersal barriers. Need to think about this. It’s worth the sacrifice if we can examine a finer dispersal limitation gradient.
