Iteratively forecasting biological invasions with PoPS and a little help from our friends

Jones, C. M., Jones, S., Petrasova, A., Petras, V., Gaydos, D., Skrip, M. M., … Meentemeyer, R. K. (2021, June 3). FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT, Vol. 6.

TL;DR: This work describes a species‐agnostic, open‐source framework – called the Pest or Pathogen Spread (PoPS) Forecasting Platform – for co‐designing near‐term iterative forecasts of biological invasions and demonstrates that iterative calibration yields higher forecast skill than using only the earliest‐available data to predict future spread.

Anthropogenic drivers of gypsy moth spread

Biological Invasions, 13(9), 2077–2090.

By: K. Bigsby n, P. Tobin * & E. Sills n 

author keywords: Anthropogenic dispersal; Lymantria dispar; Firewood; Non-native species; Spread
TL;DR: A model framework is developed that relates factors along with biophysical characteristics to a county’s susceptibility to gypsy moth invasion and provides empirical support for the importance and challenge of firewood as a vector for non-native forest insects. (via Semantic Scholar)
