📅 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.

First 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.

''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.''

Great paper by @JS_Rousseau@twitter.com & @MattBetts11@twitter.com in @EcographyJourna@twitter.com on the factors influencing transferability in species distribution models #SDMs. Better think twice about extrapolation & geographical distance 😉

#Introduction

I’m a portuguese #biologist living in the margins of lake Constance (South #Germany) working with #fish #ecology, namely distribution (#SpeciesDistributionModels) and patterns of #biodiversity in #rivers. Dabbler in the arcane arts of #Bayesian modeling.

Father of 2 very interesting creatures(2,5 YO and 8MO). Besides walks with family, I like to cook, #DungeonsandDragons and #SciFi.
