Physalia-courses🚨Species Distribution Modeling with BART Methods
📅 22–24 Sept
📍 Online | 🧠 Instructors: @jby & Colin J. Carlson
Learn to build powerful SDMs using #BART methods in R, using the embarcadero and dbarts packages.
Young Modellers in EcologyFirst and foremost, we had more than 20 wonderful participants at #YoMos2024, ranging from Bachelor- to #PhD- level #students all modelling #ecological systems. Everyone had the chance to present their projects and methods and we had vivid question+discussion rounds afterwards. Although #YoMos seems like a niche group already, we heard about a bandwidth of methods including mechanistic #eco(-evo)-models, #SDMs, #climate and vegeation models, network models, #Machinelearning, #AI and much more.

Effects of public-health measures for zeroing out different SARS-CoV-2 variants - Nature Communications
China maintained a ‘zero-COVID’ policy from early in the pandemic until late 2022 that employed various public health interventions with the aim of COVID-19 containment. Here, the authors use data from 131 outbreaks in China to estimate the effects of a range of interventions against different SARS-CoV-2 variants in diverse settings.

''Most studies included in this #review suggested that combinations of #SDMs successfully slowed or even stopped #SARS-CoV-2 #transmission in the #community. However, individual effects and optimal combinations of interventions, as well as the optimal timing for particular measures, require further investigation.''
