Ecological assembly is a fundamental and yet poorly understood process. Three main obstacles hinder the development of theory assembly, when these issues are sidestepped by making strong assumptions, one can build an graph in which nodes ecological communities edges invasions shifting their composition. The then be analysed directly, without need to consider dynamics. To showcase this framework...

BACKGROUND Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a popular method for understanding population health in which participants report their experiences while in naturally occurring contexts in order to increase the reliability and ecological validity of the collected data (as compared to retrospective recall). EMA studies, however, have relied primarily on text-based questionnaires, effectively...

in the regulated nakdong river, algal proliferations are annually observed in some seasons, with cyanobacteria (microcystis aeruginosa) appearing in summer and diatom blooms (stephanodiscus hantzschii) in winter. this study aims to develop two ecological models forecasting future chlorophyll a at two time-steps (one-week and one-year forecasts), using recurrent neural networks tuned by genetic...
