Combining process-based and correlative models improves predictions of climate change effects on Schistosoma mansoni transmission in eastern Africa.
Currently, two broad types of approach for predicting the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases can be distinguished: i) empirical-statistical (correlative) approaches that use statistical models of relationships between vector and/or pathogen presence and environmental factors; and ii) process-based (mechanistic) approaches that seek to simulate detailed biological or epidemiologic...
متن کاملMechanistic and Correlative Models of Ecological Niches
2 Department of Integrative Biology, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74078 USA The suite of factors that drives where and under what conditions a species occurs has become the focus of intense research interest. Three general categories of methods have emerged by which researchers address questions in this area: mechanistic models of species’ requirements in terms of environment...
متن کاملHow complex should models be? Comparing correlative and mechanistic range dynamics models.
Criticism has been levelled at climate-change-induced forecasts of species range shifts that do not account explicitly for complex population dynamics. The relative importance of such dynamics under climate change is, however, undetermined because direct tests comparing the performance of demographic models vs. simpler ecological niche models are still lacking owing to difficulties in evaluatin...
متن کاملSIMS Based Correlative Microscopy for High-Resolution High-Sensitivity Nano-Analytics
Nano-analytical techniques and instruments providing both excellent spatial resolution and highsensitivity chemical information are of extreme importance in materials science and life sciences for investigations at the nanoscale. Due to the ever increasing complexity of devices and the continuously shrinking geometries in materials research, characterization tools and techniques are facing new ...
متن کاملCorrelative Tomography
Increasingly researchers are looking to bring together perspectives across multiple scales, or to combine insights from different techniques, for the same region of interest. To this end, correlative microscopy has already yielded substantial new insights in two dimensions (2D). Here we develop correlative tomography where the correlative task is somewhat more challenging because the volume of ...
