COVID-19 burden in SSA: Click the 'Burden mapped' tab at the top of labmetcalf.shinyapps.io/covi… to see subnational expectations mapped by combining age profiles with an (adjustable) cumulative proportion infected, and (adjustable) infection fatality ratio across age.
New shiny tool: National and sub-national variability in SARS-CoV-2 risk across sub-Saharan Africa - wariness warranted when generalizing. Led by Marjolein Bruijning + Malavika Rajeev + @ianfmiller1. Suggestions/feedback much appreciated! (1/3) labmetcalf.shinyapps.io/covi…

Why are some species more likely to be found as roadkill than others? Our recent study finds that charactersitics like body mass, population density and diet can be used to predict mortality from collision with vehicles on European roads doi.org/10.1002/fee.2216

The lack of clinical COVID19 cases in children is odd. Understanding why will be essential in deciding which social interventions are most useful. We discussed this alongside a modeling analysis here: dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/42… @DrDJHaw @BillHanage @CJEMetcalf @michaelmina_lab

Most field experiments manipulate climate extremes rather than projected climate scenarios for their region. We recommend both. Please check out my paper with @KorellLotte @Jon_Chase88 Harald Auge, Stan Harpole in @GlobalChangeBio pressemitteilungen.pr.uni-ha… doi: 10.1111/gcb.14797

Just out: 35-60% of animal matrix population models have construction errors causing mismatch with target life history authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Wish we were there!
Room 3 at 11:15 #ESAus18 I will be presenting on how we can use openly available @comadreDB demographic data to simulate population dynamics of red foxes under different management strategies. Do I have your attention? @MattHHolden @Rob_SalGo @TSR_Hub @McMadLab @KARK_Group

Come and have a chat if you want to know how we can use @comadreDB's demographic models coupled with management simulations to develop better management strategies, Poster 114 #ESAus18 @MattHHolden @Rob_SalGo @TSR_Hub @McMadLab @KARK_Group
