Foundations and future directions for causal inference in ecological research, forthcoming w/ @katherinesiegel.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/4mm57zzd. We wrote it based on our experience teaching causal inference to ecologists w/ some stuff we wish other papers had reviewed to share w/ the students 1/n

Thanks everyone who came to our first event at NHM! We had fantastic talks from Kate Jones (@profkatej.bsky.social), Sarah Hill, Andres Valenzuela-Sanchez & Natalie Imirzian, from zoonoses and viral genomes, to frogs and drones. We're back in February at UCL @ucl-pnl.bsky.social - watch this space 🦟

Natalie Imirzian talk - "Disease from the sky: using remote-sensing and machine learning to identify risky landscapes for pathogen spillover"

Sarah Hill talk - "Genomic tracking of virus spread in animal populations"

Kate Jones talk - "Ecosystem approaches to forecasting infectious disease"

Andres Valenzuela-Sanchez talk - "Impact of infectious diseases on wildlife population dynamics: a case study of Darwin's frogs and the chytrid fungus"

Was a great event, thanks all for attending. Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks, great to know that is possible. If are going to detect anything but the most clear changes of climate change on zoonotic pathogens (and the animals that carry them) I think we need better protocols and adoptions of standards, but how?

A couple of related, recent preprints from my lab: 1) Climate change sensitivity is widespread across animal-borne (zoonotic diseases) but methods and reporting so mixed that is hard to draw quantitative conclusions: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... @roryjgibb.bsky.social @ar-tre.bsky.social

Sensitivity to climate change is widespread across zoonotic diseases

Climate change is expected to exacerbate infectious diseases, yet the climate sensitivity of zoonotic diseases (driven by spillover from animal reservoirs) is markedly understudied compared to vector-...

I work at the Natural History Museum in London, UK (with c. 300 other scientists) researching global change and animal-borne disease using a combination of fieldwork, big data and ML/AI. Hopefully will start posting on Biodiversity and Health related matters soon... www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science....
