This is beautiful!!!

Agreed!

Not a super elegant solution but I always do this task using python (pandas). I have a short script that reads in xls or csvs and writes jsons. Gets the job done quick but not the most user friendly

With love I think?

Researchers propose using this tool to predict and prepare for future East African locust upsurges. Their code is publicly available on github: github.com/rretkute/Pes... #openscience #github #computationalbiology

Researchers validate their framework by accurately predicting dynamics of previous swarms in East Africa. Next they analyze their model predictions under different environmental conditions to identify key drivers of swarm behaviors.

Model 3 an ODE model that estimates juvenile development time from temperature data. Model 4 is an agent-based model that simulates swarm migration dynamics using environmental data and wind trajectory data.

Model 1 is a random forest model that predicts the breeding suitability of each 1km x 1km region on a map of East Africa. This model is trained on environmental data and historical locust breeding survey information. Model 2 is an ODE model that estimates egg incubation time from temperature data.

Thank you! I think your DM settings may be set so only people you follow can DM you (the default). Would you be willing to briefly change the setting to allow messages from everyone?

Look forward to reading it! Thank you!

Hello! Thank you for moderating the science feed! I am a computational biologist but I would rather not publicly associate my name/affiliation with my account. Can I DM you my name/institution/proof link?

Sounds very interesting! Where can we learn more about this group and its findings? I have a Zostera marina expert friend based in the PNW who would love to stay apprised on your group's conclusions and any opportunities to contribute to future eelgrass research/conservation efforts!
