ggplot2 styling This post discusses one function in ggplot2: `theme()`. Find out about the glamour of graphics in this deep-dive article.

🎨 Theming got a huge overhaul with the latest #ggplot2 release. In honour of that @teunbrand.bsky.social has written a comprehensive deep-dive into styling your plots, covering both old and new functionality. Grab a coffee and dive in!

Changes in Arctic Ocean plankton community structure and trophic dynamics on seasonal to interannual timescales Abstract. The Arctic Ocean experiences significant seasonal to interannual environmental changes, including in temperature, light, sea ice, and surface nutrient concentrations, that influence the dyna...

Migrating is not enough for modern planktonic foraminifera in a changing ocean - Nature Low-latitude planktonic foraminifera are coping with rapid ocean warming, acidification and nutrient shifts by migrating to deeper water-column depths or polewards, displacing higher-latitude species ...

Coral larvae increase nitrogen assimilation to stabilize algal symbiosis and combat bleaching under increased temperature Rising sea surface temperatures threaten coral-algal symbiosis, impacting reef ecosystems. This study shows that coral larvae alter nutrient metabolism by increasing nitrogen assimilation to maintain…
