Research Day: Quantitative Entomology

The research day will feature expert speakers from around the UK, including statisticians, entomologists, and ecologists.
 
Some general topic areas (TBC):
  • phenology (ordered categorical models, state-space models, distributed lags, links to mathbio models of development rate/energetics)
  • species distribution modelling (general spatial stats, GAMs, GPs etc, extrapolation)
  • insects as virus vectors (SIR models, connections to mathbio)
  • community ecology (latent variable linear/additive models, multivariate methods)
  • climate change based range shifts (extremes)
  • addressing sampling bias (causal inference, point processes)
 
Organised by Dave Millar (BIOSS) and Jordan Richards (CfS).
