taxadb provides quick and easy access to taxonomic data from multiple providers resolving hundreds of names to taxonomic identifiers in seconds.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Dickens might have meant it figuratively, but in the case of the rOpenSci OzUnconf 2019, we mean it literally. Set to the backdrop of a national emergency that is still ongoing from 11-13 December, our participants came from across Australia as well as New Zealand, Japan, India and Indonesia. An rOpenSci unconference (unconf) is about building - building software, tools, but more importantly community....
The latest version of the rOpenSci av package includes some useful new tools for working with audio data. We have added functions for reading, cutting, converting, transforming, and plotting audio data in any popular audio / video format (mp3, mkv, aac, etc). The functionality can either be used by itself, or to prepare audio data for further analysis in R using other packages. We hope this clears an important hurdle to use R for research on speech, music, and whale mating calls....
babette 1 is a package to work with BEAST2 2, a software platform for Bayesian evolutionary analysis from R. babette is a spin-off of my own academic research. As a PhD I work on models of diversification: mathematical descriptions of how species form new species. Instead of working on a species' individuals, I work on species as evolutionary lineages. A good way to show the evolutionary relationships between species are phylogenies....
