The results of the first ~1.5 yrs @PARCorg 's demographic & atmospheric surveys are online!
Curious about where our members are, how we identify, & where we think we all could improve with respect to #diversity#equity & #inclusion ? Check it out:
A lot of hard work by many folks that are in or involved with the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Task Team (DEITT) went in to getting this information collected and shared. Thanks to the whole team! 💪
Are you interested in joining @PARCorg 's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Team? You should be! We're a fun bunch to work with.
🏙️#Sex biases in the individuals studied in the lab & field. Why is it more often males of a species? What data are we missing because of that bias? 🤔

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)
