I'm excited to share that I published a first version of my Statistics 4 Ecologists book with University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. You can now download a (FREE) pdf version of the book here: conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/2…

Congratulations to our Centre Director, Kerrie Mengersen - just awarded the Ruby Payne-Scott Medal by the Australian Academy of Science. The medal is one of the Australian Academy of Science's most prestigious awards, recognising researchers of the highest standing over a career.

Yesterday I presented my final PhD seminar on the use of bayesian models to improve the spatial resolution of health data in Australia🎉Huge thanks to all those who supported me through this journey, particularly QUT Centre for Data Science and Cancer Council Queensland!

New paper! Here we GPS-tracked kākā Orokonui Ecosanctuary, and found that younger kākā were more exploratory and had larger home ranges, which increased their exposure to risk outside the safety of the fence. We also present an approach for dynamic space use. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Excited to see our paper accepted in TMLR. This work, a collaborative effort with David Nott, David T. Frazier, David James Warne, and Chris Drovandi, proposes robust sequential neural likelihood, a simulation-based inference method that is robust to model misspecification.

17 MILLION insects migrate through a 30m Pyrenean mountain pass every autumn! They fly through the mountains on their remarkable journeys from northern Europe (including the UK) into Spain and beyond for the winter! Our new paper is out right now: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/epdf/10.10… 🧵

The #ISEC2024 group foto in sunny Swansea Bay 😊

Had a wonderful time at #ISEC2024 The International Statistical Ecology Conference. Big thanks to the organising team and to QUT Centre for Data Science and Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future for helping me attend! 😊👏

Fantastic week at The International Statistical Ecology Conference in Swansea last week - such a wide array of inspiring ideas! Thanks to the excellent organising committee and QUT Centre for Data Science for funding. Somehow I also managed to aquire a souvenir... 🥳 #ISEC2024

Postdoc position available! Come to CRAB to work with Sam Ellis , me, Kenny Chiou & Noah Snyder-Mackler on comparative life-history evolution, as part of a new NIH grant on the social modifiers of lifespan. Apply by Oct 29 here: jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecrui…

I'M LICHEN IT! 🤯💚 LOOK AT THOSE ANTENNAE!🤩 We just finished a POSTER on the Katydids of Manu!! (On our Patreon)! 👀 But, THIS is the craziest Katydid I've ever had the pleasure of seeing! Perfectly mimicking lichen growing on a tree, it blends in so well with the rainforest!🌳

NEW JOB in #ornithology to develop apps for #biologging data with Movebank: buff.ly/4hVSIsH

Stoked to have a cover photo for Ecography! In our paper doi.org/10.1111/ecog.0… we included temporal dynamics into SSFs, resulting in daily patterns of movement and habitat selection. Simulating then gave us dynamic spatial predictions Code! github.com/swforrest/dyna…

The first many-analysts study in ecology is finally published! 🥳🙌 300+ coauthors and 5+ years, this was a massive effort by Elliot Gould Dr Hannah Fraser Tim Parker and co. Open access 👉 bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Animal movement is complex, depends on many interacting factors, and can be hard to accurately predict. Here we present a novel approach using a deep learning step selection framework: tinyurl.com/2em9yyjb, with lots of supporting info and code! swforrest.github.io/deepSSF/
