This document discusses modeling species distributions based on interactions between climate and habitat. It summarizes a study that used distribution data from 12 habitat types and 3 climate variables to model how two butterfly species' habitat use changes with climate. The study found that adding coniferous forest reduced one species' presence in some areas but improved it in others. For another species, adding grassland habitat improved its presence while adding bare ground reduced it. The study also showed how this species' distribution changed with increasing growing degree days. It concludes that improving marginal habitat or weather conditions could help species at their range margins.

The document describes the development of a model to predict wildfire risk in California. It uses climatological data like temperature, precipitation, and humidity, as well as land cover data, as inputs to the model. Two models are created, one with equal weighting of all factors and one that weights land cover higher. The results of the second model better match actual 2014 wildfires in northern California but miss fires in southern California, suggesting room for improvement in the model formula. Overall, the model effectively predicts wildfires in western California but inaccuracies remain.

This document summarizes the ClimBar project which aims to evaluate genetic diversity in barley to support climate adaptation. The project recognizes that barley varieties were domesticated under different past climates than current emerging conditions. It hypothesizes that alleles supporting resilient yields in a changing climate may be found in diverse landraces from the Mediterranean and Fertile Crescent, which experienced climates similar to projections. The project is phenotyping a diverse set of barley accessions, including Spanish landraces and wild barleys, under different environments to understand genotype by environment interactions over time and identify useful alleles for future climate breeding.MSc Presentation Emma
The document summarizes research on an eco-hydrological model to investigate how trees maintain carbon assimilation and water fluxes during drought through deep fine root development. The model was calibrated and validated for deciduous and evergreen tree sites in Germany and France. Simulation results showed the hypothetical root mechanism allowed for higher net carbon profit and carbon assimilation during drought through extracting water from deeper soil layers.

The document discusses climate change impacts on UK agriculture. It notes that agriculture accounts for 7% of UK greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from methane and nitrous oxide. The Rural Climate Change Forum advises the government on reducing agricultural emissions through practices like improved fertilizer use and manure management. Climate change will impact UK agriculture through increased risks from pests, diseases and heat stress on livestock. Farmers need to both mitigate emissions and adapt to changes in climate and weather patterns.

A series of visualizations to stimulate thinking about climate change. Using UKCP09 high emissions projections and a variety of scenes from Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds.CC effects on Rangland&Pasture
This document summarizes the impacts of climate change on pasture and rangeland production. It finds that elevated carbon dioxide concentrations will generally have a positive impact on forage production, especially for C3 species, by increasing photosynthesis and plant growth. However, changes in temperature and precipitation patterns may offset these benefits, as they can negatively impact soil moisture availability. The impacts will also vary depending on pasture and rangeland type. The document concludes that climate change will alter both pasture and rangeland ecosystems through changes in primary production, plant communities, and forage quality, with both positive and negative potential impacts that depend on local precipitation patterns. Adaptive management, such as adjusting stocking rates and plant species, will

Disaggregating the impacts of human activities and natural disturbances on re...Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS)
This document summarizes a new approach for disaggregating reported greenhouse gas emissions from Canada's managed forests into natural and anthropogenic components. The approach uses a carbon budget model and spatial data on forest inventory, growth, natural disturbances like wildfires and insects, and forest management activities. It separates emissions into those resulting from uncontrollable natural disturbances versus human activities, providing greater transparency about the impacts of forest management and mitigation efforts over time. Next steps involve expanding the approach spatially at high resolution to better document outcomes of investments in forest sector mitigation.Climate analogues for climate change adaptation planning
This document discusses using climate analogues as an alternative approach to modeling climate change impacts. It describes developing a tool to find locations with current climates similar to projected future climates, in order to learn from existing adaptation strategies. The tool calculates climatic distance between sites based on monthly climate variables. Outputs include analogue lists, correspondence plots, and maps showing closest analogue locations under different climate scenarios. The document suggests several potential applications of the climate analogue approach.

The document summarizes a presentation on the impacts of land use change and climate change on tropical forests in Amazonia and Puerto Rico. In Amazonia, the presentation examines how agricultural expansion and intensification impact carbon storage, energy balance, and habitat. It finds that the location of future agricultural expansion will largely determine impacts on ecosystem services. In Puerto Rico, it analyzes the effects of a severe drought on soil biogeochemistry and greenhouse gas emissions, finding complex impacts varying by topography. The presentation concludes that land use change likely has larger biogeochemical effects than agricultural intensification, and climate impacts on tropical forests will involve nutrient cycle feedbacks.
Recent trends in crops water productivity across the contiguous states
This document summarizes research on trends in crop water productivity across the contiguous United States between 2001-2015. An optimized water-light use model was developed using high resolution climate and vegetation index data to estimate gross primary production, net primary production, and yields for major crops. The model results show increases in water productivity for rain-fed corn and soybeans in the Midwest and irrigated/rain-fed cotton and sorghum in Texas. Declines were found for irrigated rice in California's Central Valley and Mississippi, as well as irrigated/rain-fed corn and wheat relying on the Ogallala Aquifer. The next steps involve expanding the analysis to a 30+ year global assessment from 1982-2012

Climatic data including temperature, rainfall, humidity, and radiation were measured at sites from 500 to 4000 meters above sea level. δ13C values were measured for plant species at each site and showed trends corresponding to altitude. Species at lower altitudes had δ13C values ranging from -10.6‰ to -16.65‰, while species at intermediate and high altitudes had more negative δ13C values, indicating more prevalence of C3 photosynthesis at higher elevations with cooler temperatures and
Integrated modelling Cape Town
This document outlines work being done to develop models for predicting species distributions. It discusses how biodiversity data can be messy and biased due to complicated ecological processes and uneven observer effort. The work aims to create a single framework that accounts for classification errors, detection biases, and the true underlying distributions using point process models. Multiple data types and contributions from various researchers are helping to integrate these different components into unified models that can be applied to many species distributions.
What are we? Statistical Ecologists or Ecological Statisticians?
- Statistical ecologists combine statistics and ecology to analyze ecological data and develop models. However, some argue the fields have become too separated.
- Ecological data is often complex and messy, requiring careful statistical modeling approaches. Statistical ecologists have developed models to account for issues like overdispersion in abundance data.
- Statistical decomposition techniques can quantify the proportions of environmental, intraspecific, and interspecific variation in ecological data.
- Species distribution models use occurrence and climate data to predict habitat suitability, but remain "black boxes" to many ecologists. Sampling issues also impact these models.

Trying to clean up the mess: Bayes, Frequentism, NHST, Parameter estimation e...
This document discusses different statistical approaches and recommends using the approach that works best for the problem. It notes that while frequentist and Bayesian methods both have strengths and weaknesses, the flexibility of Bayesian methods makes them preferable for more complex problems. The key is to understand which approach is most appropriate given the question being asked and to make sure the chosen approach is applied correctly.
What, exactly, is a biotic interactions?
This document discusses the definition of a biotic interaction. It notes that for many interactions, the species do not directly interact but rather affect each other indirectly through their effects on shared resources or other parts of the environment. Direct interactions involve one species directly doing something to another, such as predation, parasitism, or pollination. Mediated interactions occur when two species affect a shared environment. Indirect effects through a third species or the environment may or may not qualify as a biotic interaction, depending on whether there are feedbacks between the species populations. The document concludes that biotic interactions can be defined as ecological effects between species that occur through individual behaviors and involve feedbacks between the populations.
Discrete talk
Talk to Montpellier, Nov 43 2015 about extending point process modelling to include different data types.
BES/SfE talk 2014
This document presents a unified framework for combining disparate data types in species distribution modelling using point process models. It describes how point process models represent species density as an intensity surface and can accommodate different data types, such as presence-only, abundance, and presence/absence data. An example application to a bird species demonstrates how combining data sources leads to a better predicted distribution than using each data source individually. The framework allows both positional and density information to be retained while approximating the intensity surface.
Gf o2014talk
This document presents a unified framework for combining different data types in species distribution modelling. It proposes using a single continuous density model rather than separate models. Observation data like presence-only points, abundance counts, and expert ranges can then be modeled as coming from the same underlying density through different observation processes. This allows integrating data from various sources like museums, citizen science, and surveys in a unified Bayesian modeling approach using integrated nested Laplace approximations for efficient inference. The framework is demonstrated on modeling the distribution of the solitary tinamou using different data types.
Combining Data in Species Distribution Models
This document discusses combining different types of species occurrence data in species distribution models. It describes point process models that can incorporate presence-only data, abundance data, expert range maps, and citizen science observations. These different data sources are combined and fit using integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA) to predict distributions for a case study of the solitary tinamou. The results show that expert range maps and citizen science data drive the predicted distribution, with net primary productivity being the most important environmental covariate over forest cover and altitude.
Iwsmbvs
This document discusses Bayesian variable selection methods for regression models. It begins by reviewing traditional ANOVA tables and their limitations for modern applications with many variables, such as GWAS studies. It then introduces Bayesian approaches using priors to perform variable selection by building it into the regression model. Several variable selection methods are described that use different prior distributions, such as slab and spike priors, the stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) method, and the normal-exponential-gamma (NEG) distribution. The document discusses how these methods can be implemented using MCMC sampling and compares their performance. It also discusses some extensions like using random effects and polynomial terms.
Isec2012 o hara
This document summarizes a presentation on modeling speciation and extinction rates in fossil mammals over time. It describes a database of 282 fossil mammal species found at 347 European sites dating back 25 million years, with dating methods including paleomagnetism and oxygen isotopes. A Bayesian model is developed using MCMC to estimate speciation and extinction times based on species presences at sites, while accounting for dating uncertainties. The model fits speciation and extinction rates as logistic regressions on species and site effects. Results show estimated site dates look reasonable but calibration could be improved. Future work aims to incorporate spatial effects and trait-based "frailty" models to understand drivers of speciation and extinction.
Interaction networks
This document proposes using statistical models to better analyze and understand ecological interaction networks. It outlines some of the limitations of current network statistics approaches when dealing with uncertain or incomplete data. The key ideas are:
1) Modeling interaction rates at the individual level, accounting for factors like species abundances and individual preferences.
2) Aggregating individual interaction rates to estimate species-level interaction rates.
3) Using log-linear models to separate out different factors influencing interaction rates, like species "palatability" and "hungriness".
4) Simulating interaction networks to test how well the proposed modeling approach performs compared to current statistics.
Meta analyses
This document provides an introduction and overview of meta-analysis. It discusses that meta-analysis allows researchers to combine results from multiple studies examining the same topic. The document outlines the basic steps of meta-analysis, including searching the literature to identify relevant studies, choosing an effect size statistic to combine results, calculating and presenting summary statistics using forest plots, and addressing potential biases. Meta-analysis has become popular for synthesizing evidence in fields like education and medicine and is increasingly being used in applied ecology.
Blogging
This document outlines seven rules for blogging about science: write down half-formed thoughts, link to other people's work, use multimedia like images and videos, make posts as long or short as needed, encourage comments on posts, reply to other people's comments, and enjoy the blogging process.
SDM Observer Models
The document discusses hierarchical models for species distributions and the importance of including sampling models in species distribution modeling. It presents different observation models (Binomial, Poisson, Bernoulli, no observation model) that account for sampling effort and compares their predictions on species distribution data from the UK. The key points are that sampling effort needs to be measured and accounted for, different effort estimates can lead to different sampling models, and sampling models should be included in species distribution modeling to improve predictions.
Multispecies Distribution Models
This document discusses methods for multi-species range modeling using presence-only data. It presents a Bayesian model that estimates species distributions and sampling effort simultaneously using a mixture of normal distributions. The model is applied to data on the distributions of 8 common butterfly species in the UK. Maps of predicted species presence and effects of habitat, observation effort, latitude and longitude on detectability are presented.
Populations
Populations are not precisely defined and their boundaries depend on the context and purpose of study. Different methods for defining populations can produce different results, suggesting populations are not "mind independent" but are pragmatically constituted based on the investigation. The document discusses various approaches to defining populations based on neutral markers or interactions between individuals, and notes defining populations with clustering algorithms requires care as the number of inferred populations depends on parameters that may not accurately reflect biological populations.
Glued Ecology
The document discusses different approaches to statistical modeling and inference including graphics and summary statistics, traditional statistical models, mechanistic modeling, and fitting models to real time series data. It describes fitting different models to moth count data including a neutral community model and models incorporating density dependence, environmental shocks, and interspecific competition. The best fitting model found small effects of interspecific interactions and correlations in environmental variations with most variation coming from sampling and environmental effects. The document advocates bringing models and data closer together and notes there are usually more factors affecting real data than included in initial models.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
