Land cover conversion and land use change combine to reduce grazing

open access: yesJournal of Land Use Science, 2022
Land cover and land use changes cause global environmental degradation yet changes in cover may have different impacts than changes in use. Here, we examine changes in land cover (rangeland conversion to vineyard) and land use (assocaited grazing loss on

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

Genome‐Wide Assessment Reveals Ancestral Differences in Homozygosity Patterns Potentially Linked to Parkinson's Disease Etiology

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Recessive genetic variation and extended runs of homozygosity (ROHs) may contribute to the unexplained heritability of Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly in diverse and understudied populations. Objective We conducted the first large‐scale, multi‐ancestral investigation of PD to examine the impact of genome‐wide homozygosity on ...
