bayesTPC: Bayesian inference for Thermal Performance Curves in R biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_ecology

Our new preprint, presents bayesTPC, an R package that makes #Bayesian thermal performance curve fitting and analysis much easier and reliable than ever before! Special credit to the incredible talents of lead author Sean Sorek! jwsmithII, Dr LR Johnson biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Our new paper out on how managed vegetation structure affects mosquito communities parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

In a bit of a COVID throwback, our new paper is out in Scientific Reports! We investigated the impact of environmental conditions on the transmission of different variants during their selective sweeps: doi.org/10.1038/s41598… Will Pearse Ilaria Dorigatti @creswapi Mahika K. Dixit

The @vectorbase training workshop is about to begin - the room is ready. Exciting times in Nairobi, Kenya at the awesome @KCBGroup Leadership Centre

Many of you are aware that Prof. Priyanga Amarasekare, a minority faculty member and award winning scientist, has been the subject of disciplinary actions by UCLA. Priyanga has decided to share her experience and defend herself publicly: pamarasekare.org

How far do different population growth rate models agree when parametrised with temperature- and resource-dependent life history data on a #dengue #mosquito? Our preprint provides some new insights! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Dr LR Johnson @MossieCator PawarLab

Effects of temperature on the life-history traits of Myzus persicae and its efficiency in transmitting potato virus Y (PVY) in potato crops biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Teamwork is key in beating malaria & saving lives. This interactive artwork features DavidBeckham & Azra Ghani showing the incredible visualisation of research Hillary Topazian & LydiaHaile towards a malaria-free future #ZeroMalaria through innovation & funding Imperial College London👇

Apply by January 15th: This #postdoc position Virginia Tech Department of Mathematics Virginia Tech Science involves research in modeling and simulation of disease transmission in an ecological setting and teaching one class per year.

📖Published📖 Sorek et al. present bayesTPC, an R package for fitting Thermal performance curves to trait responses using the nimble language and machinery as the underlying engine for Markov Chain Monte Carlo 👇 buff.ly/ffm9ygJ

The blog (vectorbyte.org/blog/paper-int…) about the paper (besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/UWAYQRET…) about our #R package - bayesTPC! Bayesian inference, thermal performance curves, buckets of fully open vector trait data via the VecTraits API (vectorbyte.org/blog/vectraits…). What's not to ♥️?! @Vector_Byte

"AedesTraits: A global database of temperature–dependent trait responses in Aedes mosquitoes" DOI: doi.org/10.32942/X2JD0Q

Our new preprint (ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie…) describes✨AedesTraits✨ (zenodo.org/records/151499…): A global database on temperature-trait responses in Aedes mosquitoes. #AedesTraits holds >31,000 rows of fully open data extracted from published literature (1930s to 2025)!
