Patterns and Drivers of Pest and Disease Occurrence in UK Treescapes
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.Tree pests and diseases can be very damaging to natural and commercial forests. We studied how the risk of tree pests and diseases varies across mainland Great Britain and explored how factors such as urbanisation and recreational visits affect the level of risk in different places.

Bayesian joint spatio-temporal analysis of multiple diseases [PDF]
, 2019 In this paper we propose a Bayesian hierarchical spatio-temporal model for the joint analysis of multiple diseases which includes specific and shared spatial and temporal effects.

Individual and Environmental Factors Influencing Influenza Transmission: A Multilevel Analysis
Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Background Influenza transmission is influenced by both individual characteristics and community‐level drivers. Understanding how these drivers jointly influence transmission is important to predicting outbreaks and guiding influenza prevention strategies.

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Understanding patterns of habitat use across trophic levels and the physical drivers of multispecies aggregations is essential to inform ecosystem‐based management. To achieve this, we quantified the spatial distribution and co‐occurrence of hotspots (defined using the Getis‐Ord statistic) for euphausiids and nine of their commercially ...

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 ...

Spatial data analysis of malnutrition among children under-five years in Ethiopia
BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2021 Background Childhood malnutrition is a major cause of child mortality under the age of 5 in the sub-Saharan Africa region. This study sought to identify the risk factors and spatial distribution of the composite index of anthropometric failure (CIAF ...

A primer on disease mapping and ecological regression using $${\texttt{INLA}}$$ [PDF]
, 2018 Spatial and spatio-temporal disease mapping models are widely used for the analysis of registry data and usually formulated in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. Explanatory variables can be included by a so-called ecological regression.

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 ...
