Will you be at AMCA 26? Come find @vectorbyte.bsky.social and chat to us about our databases, workshops, data management, and let @samrund.bsky.social give you stickers, perhaps? #AMCA26
We are exhibiting at AMCA 26!

New @vectorbyte.bsky.social preprint: Modeling asymmetric Thermal Performace Curves for proportion data - led by Prof Leah Johnson, with Paul Huxley @phuxley.bsky.social, Cat Lippi @lippikiyay.bsky.social, and Prof Sadie Ryan @sjryan3.bsky.social. LINEX TPC: your next fit!

No problem. MEE has strict word limits so we weren't able to include a lot of relevant refs throughout the paper. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for the heads-up! We've offered Bayesian TPC fitting pipelines since 2015 (doi.org/10.1890/13-1...) and training through vectorbite.org since ~2018, but uptake by the community has been slower than expected. Great to see folks are starting to adopt Bayesian methods for these systems ;)

Our new preprint (ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...) describes✨AedesTraits✨ (zenodo.org/records/1514...) - 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)!

In this preprint, we describe this head-scratcher of a devs challenge, and present an information standard designed to be sufficient, not onerous, and flexible. We also illustrate (nicely done, @phuxley.bsky.social) the value of disaggregated data for parameter estimation.

I’m presenting at #BES2024 today on how temperature and humidity can interact to influence population growth rate in the malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi! Come, hear about some of this project’s — led by @ecodynvplab.bsky.social — very exciting early results
