🇧🇷Iratauá-grande
🌎Gymnomystax mexicanus
Conservação:Pouco Preocupante

O iratauá-grande é uma ave da ordem Passeriformes, da família Icteridae.

📷 José Rondon

Um pássaro de porte médio, com plumagem predominantemente amarela vibrante no corpo e na cabeça. As asas e a parte superior das costas são de um preto intenso e contrastante. O bico é fino e preto, e os olhos possuem uma máscara escura ao redor. O pássaro está empoleirado em uma folha verde larga e texturizada, com fundo desfocado em tons de verde. A postura é atenta, com o corpo ligeiramente inclinado para frente.

At Our World in Data, we spend much of our time counting deaths.

But it’s just as important to know the number of lives saved — even though it is harder to estimate and involves much larger uncertainty.

My Data Insight today includes this chart of some estimates.

Hello #dataBS (& especially #TidyTuesday) fam! I'm trying to organize a thing to help me keep TidyTuesday running smoothly, but first I need to get a bit of a runway. Every week I curate a TT dataset, and it's wearing me down. Please see github.com/rfordatascie... for some ways you can help! #RStats

Lina María Sanchez-Cespedes presents a simple method to adjust model life tables to estimate mortality curves with excess mortality and their backward projections. It enables the estimation of the decrease in life expectancy due to external causes. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...
