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.

My first paper on invasive species and coypus 🥳 The beginning of a long story hopefully 😇
"Invasive rodents are hard to count, so I used hierarchical statistical models to estimate numbers directly from removal data. This provides a tool for on-the-ground management, with examples on coypus in France and muskrats in the Netherlands." - @oaggimenez.bsky.social

We tackle a big question in conservation: how can we make smarter use of existing surveys to learn about places and species we haven’t yet been able to survey? 🏔️

14/10. Ten for the DAG, plus one for each cute guinea-pig node.
