This study examines how environmental and demographic noise affects mosquito-borne disease outbreaks, finding that increased noise can reduce endemic risk but lead to larger outbreaks at intermediate noise levels.

For species with 20 or fewer occurrence records, 24 of 31 species distribution models had AUC distributions not significantly different from Maxnet's; vote-counting ensembles give upper and lower range bounds.

The paper develops a knowledge graph to analyze highly pathogenic avian influenza, identifying new relationships and validating the utility of knowledge graphs in ecological systems.

The paper investigates how the pace of life in vertebrate hosts affects their potential to transmit mosquito-borne parasites, finding that fast-lived hosts generally have higher transmission potential.

This study investigates how larval microclimate affects dengue transmission in Aedes albopictus by incorporating carry-over effects into a transmission model.

The paper develops a data-driven model to predict potential Zika virus vectors by analyzing vector-virus trait combinations, identifying 35 species, including seven in the continental US.
