If you want to learn about #bioimageanalysis I've written a free & open textbook that tries to help:
bioimagebook.github.io

Thanks to the wonder of @ExecutableBooks & other modern magic it's not quite like a normal book... (thread)

@OpenEdEdinburgh @NEUBIAS_COST @BioimagingNA
First, the book tries to cover the main concepts, independently of any software, in a practical way.

This includes common pitfalls & problems, like data clipping, that can doom analysis from the start (2/n)
It also includes tricky stuff important for a lot of microscopy image analysis, like noise distributions & the signal-to-noise ratio... (3/n)

[1/6] #Climatechange can affect #amphibians indirectly, but few studies look at changes in size or #morphology
For my MSc by research @DICE_Kent I’m deciphering crest growth in #GreatCrestedNewts at individual and population levels. 🐸🦎

[2/6]
Male #GCNs grow ornamental crests every year during aquatic breeding period.
As UK seasons become less distinct, #pond arrival times are less predictable.
So what is happening with #crest development?🧐

[3/6]
We photographed >100 individual #newts over 2 breeding periods and tracked changes in crest size + shape using #ImageJ software.

Does early arrival = Early growth peak?
Or ⬆ growth period i.e. potential mating advantage?

A thread on #ImageAnalysis & #color in animals:

#AcademicTwitter ,#Herpetology , & folks that analyze #color from images:

Any recommendations for ways to collect data about color & pattern from images of #wildlife? We want to quantify things like %cover by a color & intensity.
Have enjoyed reading some of the work by Davis & Grayson on quantifying #color, hue, % coverage in #newts and other animals.

They used Fovea Pro, a Photoshop add in. The newer version (QIA-64) costs ~$800 😬

Am also considering the methods of Paterson & Blouin-Demers where they quantify continuous variation in throat color in #lizards using Adobe & ultimately analysis in #imageJ (but haven't had time to test it out yet)
