Inferring stability and persistence in the vaginal microbiome: A stochastic model of ecological dynamics

This paper develops a stochastic model to analyze vaginal microbiome dynamics, showing how species interactions and environmental fluctuations influence microbial stability and persistence.

Exploring Environmental Coverages of Species: A New Variable Selection Methodology for Rulesets from the Genetic Algorithm for Ruleset Prediction

This paper introduces a new variable selection method for species distribution models using GARP rulesets, showing it effectively identifies important environmental variables in simulations and real-world applications.

An efficient extension of N-mixture models for multi-species abundance estimation

This paper extends N-mixture models to improve rare species abundance estimation in low-sample-size tropical studies by leveraging multi-species information and beta-distributed detection probabilities.
