Methodologic Issues and Approaches to Spatial Epidemiology

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2008
Spatial epidemiology is increasingly being used to assess health risks associated with environmental hazards. Risk patterns tend to have both a temporal and a spatial component; thus, spatial epidemiology must combine methods from epidemiology, statistics, and geographic information science.

Factors influencing scavenger guilds and scavenging efficiency in Southwestern Montana

Scientific Reports, 2021
Scavenging of carrion shapes ecological landscapes by influencing scavenger population demography, increasing inter- and intra-specific interactions, and generating ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling and disease moderation.
