Arsenic and chromium topsoil levels and cancer mortality in Spain [PDF]

, 2016
Spatio-temporal cancer mortality studies in Spain have revealed patterns for some tumours which display a distribution that is similar across the sexes and persists over time.

Proximity to seabird colonies and water availability shape moss distributions in Antarctica

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Understanding species distributions across Antarctica is crucial for biodiversity conservation under climate change, but continental‐scale analyses of key terrestrial species remain scarce. Here, we modelled distributions of 28 moss species across Antarctica using log‐Gaussian Cox process models and environmental covariates including topographic ...

Digital Soil Mapping Approaches for Assisting Site-Specific Soil Management in Sugarcane Growing Areas

, 2020
The Australian sugarcane industry has developed the “Six Easy Steps” nutrient and ameliorant management guidelines with the aim of optimising productivity and profitability, without adversely influencing the soil condition and causing off-farm effects ...

A Bayesian Multisource Fusion Model for Spatiotemporal PM2.5$$ {\mathrm{PM}}_{2.5} $$ in an Urban Setting

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Airborne particulate matter (PM2.5$$ {\mathrm{PM}}_{2.5} $$) is a major public health concern in urban environments, where population density and emission sources exacerbate exposure risks. We present a novel Bayesian spatiotemporal fusion model to estimate monthly PM2.5$$ {\mathrm{PM}}_{2.5} $$ concentrations over Greater London (2014–2019 ...

Quantifying urban tree canopy cooling capacity using Bayesian hierarchical models and satellite imagery

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 338-352, January 2026.
Cities are getting hotter because of climate change and urban development, increasing risks to health and well‐being. We analyzed how increasing urban tree canopy cover in city areas of 900 m2 can reduce land surface temperatures, using detailed aerial‐LiDAR and satellite data with Bayesian hierarchical models.

Evaluating the INLA-SPDE approach for Bayesian modeling of earthquake damages from geolocated cluster data

, 2020
Modeled damage estimates are an important source of information in the hours to weeks following major earthquake disasters, but often lack sufficient spatial resolution for highlighting specific areas of need. Using damage assessment data from the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal Earthquake, this paper evaluates a Bayesian spatial model (INLA-SPDE) for interpolating

Conservation Relevant Fine‐Scale Distribution and Habitat Associations of Threatened Elasmobranchs in Temperate Nearshore Waters

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Elasmobranchs are globally threatened and experiencing ongoing declines. Understanding threatened elasmobranch distribution is critical for developing effective marine conservation strategies. However, our knowledge of fine‐scale elasmobranch habitat association and distribution in temperate nearshore systems is limited.

Identifying potentially suitable and accessible refugia to mitigate impacts of an emerging disease on a rare tree

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree ...

Efficient Likelihood and Machine‐Learning Models for Spatiotemporal Rainfall Estimation and Imputation

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 45, Issue 13, 15 November 2025.
Ireland's rainfall monitoring network provides a large spatiotemporal climate dataset, with many stations reporting missing entries during the monitoring period (1981–2010). Filling these gaps is essential for producing climate reports; however, additional consideration is required during modeling to maintain computational feasibility.

Precipitation and Temperature‐Dependent Locomotor Performance Drive the Abundance of a Neotropical Lizard

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
We investigated how climate and ecophysiology affect the demography of the lizard Tropidurus oreadicus in the Brazilian Cerrado. While lizards were more frequently captured in the dry season, their abundance peaked during the rainy season when their locomotor performance was highest.
