New modelling suggests that the balance between algae and invertebrates is shifting, with the potential to alter these ecosystems in profound and irreversible ways.

Want to do "analysis of sloppiness" in Python?
I've just posted full Python code examples for this + PDF slides explaining how to do it, in a GitHub repository....!
github.com/MatthewPhilipAdam…
It contains:
1/4
-> Interpreting model sloppiness outputs, and connections to other data-informing approaches
This repository is an elaboration of an excellent paper on the topic by Gloria Milena Monsalve Bravo - doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abm59…

Thank you and I hope this course and/or code is useful to you in some way. :)
Any questions, feel free to email me ([email protected]).

Congratulations to @SarahVollert for best ECR Poster and @a13xbrowning for best ECR talk at #bioinference2024 (and @RaihaTuiTaura for great MCing) 🇦🇺 all well deserved!

Just published research from a Centre team led by @MD_Akinlotan introduces new metrics for assessing the value of making additional measurements in ecological management decisions. Unlike traditional value of information analysis... (🧵1/3)

How much does a model cost? Our new paper reports the costs of different ecosystem models to support fisheries. We should consider cost-benefit tradeoffs when selecting modelling frameworks for ecological decisions doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15741. free version 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2403.17446

We tell decision-makers you need to specify objectives accounting for costs. Shouldn't we hold modelers to the same standards? Different models have different benefits & costs. See our new paper on cost-benefit analyses of ecosystem models for fisheries doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15741

It sometimes take months to model the effects of conservations actions on a complex ecosystem. But just-published research led by Centre PhD Candidate @SarahVollert uses the latest #DataScience techniques to cut that time from months to hours!
