Modelling survival: exposure pattern, species sensitivity and uncertainty
The General Unified Threshold model for Survival (GUTS) integrates previously published toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic models and estimates survival with explicitly defined assumptions. Importantly, GUTS accounts for time-variable exposure to the stressor. We performed three studies to test the ability of GUTS to predict survival of aquatic organisms across different pesticide exposure patterns, t...
متن کاملIncorporating uncertainty in predictive species distribution modelling.
Motivated by the need to solve ecological problems (climate change, habitat fragmentation and biological invasions), there has been increasing interest in species distribution models (SDMs). Predictions from these models inform conservation policy, invasive species management and disease-control measures. However, predictions are subject to uncertainty, the degree and source of which is often u...
متن کاملUncertainty and sensitivity in global carbon cycle modelling
This paper summarises the results obtalned from a stochastic sensitivity study in the area of global carbon cycle modelling In parhcular it outlines how Monte Carlo Slrnulation (MCS) techniques and associated Generalised Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) have been applied to a modified boxdiffusion model Using pararnetnc and input uncertainty measures denved from independent sources, the analysis show...
متن کاملSensitivity and uncertainty analysis in spatial modelling based on GIS
Uncertainty analysis (UA) and Sensitivity analysis (SA) are prerequisites for model building. UA aims to quantify the overall uncertainty associated with the model response as a result of uncertainties in the model input. SA studies how the variation in the model output can be apportioned to different sources of variations. Both UA and SA have been successfully applied in many different fields....
متن کاملSensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis for River Water Quality Modelling
Uncertainty analysis for model simulations is assuming a growing importance in the field of water quality management. The importance of this concern is provided by recent public awareness over health risks from improper disposal of toxic wastes as well as by the continuing emphasis on risk assessment. The first step in the chain of the risk assessment is the quantification of the error in predi...
