Microbial evolution experiments provide a powerful tool to unravel the molecular basis of adaptive evolution but their outcomes can be difficult to interpret, unless the selective forces that are applied during the experiment are carefully ...
nosoi: A stochastic agent-based transmission chain simulation framework in r [0.03%]
nosoi：R中的一个基于随机智能体的传输链模拟框架
Sebastian Lequime,Paul Bastide,Simon Dellicour et al.
Sebastian Lequime et al.
The transmission process of an infectious agent creates a connected chain of hosts linked by transmission events, known as a transmission chain. Reconstructing transmission chains remains a challenging endeavour, except in rare cases charac...
Marking mosquitoes in their natural larval sites using 2H-enriched water: a promising approach for tracking over extended temporal and spatial scales [0.03%]
使用2H富集水在蚊子的自然幼虫栖息地对蚊子进行标记：一种有前景的大时空尺度追踪方法
Roy Faiman,Adama Dao,Alpha Seydou Yaro et al.
Roy Faiman et al.
Background: 1.Tracking mosquitoes using current methods of mark-release-recapture are limited to small spatial and temporal scales exposing major gaps in understanding long-range movements and extended survival. Novel app...
MVSE: An R-package that estimates a climate-driven mosquito-borne viral suitability index [0.03%]

Joint Species Distribution Modelling (JSDM) is becoming an increasingly popular statistical method for analysing data in community ecology. Hierarchical Modelling of Species Communities (HMSC) is a general and flexible framework for fitting...
How to estimate complementarity and selection effects from an incomplete sample of species [0.03%]
如何根据物种不完整的样本估计互补效应和选择效应
Adam Thomas Clark,Kathryn E Barry,Christiane Roscher et al.
Adam Thomas Clark et al.
Declines in global biodiversity have inspired a generation of studies that seek to characterize relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The metrics for complementarity and selection effects derived by Loreau and Hector...
Empowering conservation practice with efficient and economical genotyping from poor quality samples [0.03%]
利用劣质样品进行高效经济的基因分型以增强保护实践
