Our new pre-print is up on BioRxiv Ecology - goal was to better estimate how trait evolution impacts population dynamics & community composition. We (me, postdoc Ruben Hermann) used a Joint Species Distribution Models (HMSC) fit to simulated & empirical eco-evo data.

Excited to share our new dengue research with a great international team.
We introduce a framework that integrates different modelling disciplines to i) explain past spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers, and ii) forecast future trajectories, thereby providing diverse insights for decision-makers.
