Predatory dynamics in susceptible and resistant populations
Anna Mara Ferreira Maciel, Gabriel Rodrigues Palma, Lucas dos Anjos +3
The ladybird (Germar, 1824), a voracious aphid predator, faces challenges from insecticide applications, compromising biological control. As a result, th…
The temperature affects the impact levels of synthetic insecticides on a parasitoid wasp used in the biological control of pentatomid pests in soybean crops
Matheus Rakes, Maíra Chagas Morais, Leandro do Prado Ribeiro +4
The impact of climate change has led to growing global concern about the interaction of temperature and xenobiotics in agricultural toxicological studies. Thus, for the first time,…
Multi-state models for double transitions associated with parasitism in biological control
Idemauro Antonio Rodrigues de Lara, Gabriel Rodrigues Palma, Victor José Bon +2
Competition between parasitoids can reduce the success of pest control in biological programs using two species as bio-control agents or when multiple species exploit the same host…
Diagnostics for categorical response models based on quantile residuals and distance measures
Patrícia Peres Araripe, Idemauro Antonio Rodrigues de Lara, Gabriel Rodrigues Palma +2
Polytomous categorical data are frequent in studies, that can be obtained with an individual or grouped structure. In both structures, the generalized logit model is commonly used…
Inferring Stochastic Group Interactions within Structured Populations via Coupled Autoregression
Blake McGrane-Corrigan, Oliver Mason, Rafael de Andrade Moral
The internal behaviour of a population is an important feature to take account of when modelling their dynamics. In line with kin selection theory, many social species tend to clus…
Estimation of the non-linear parameter in Generalised Diversity-Interactions models is unaffected by change in structure of the interaction terms
Rishabh Vishwakarma, Laura Byrne, John Connolly +2
Research over the past few decades has assumed the richness (number of species) to be the primary driver of the biodiversity and ecosystem function (BEF) relationship. However, bio…
Bayesian Multi-Species N-Mixture Models for Unmarked Animal Communities
Niamh Mimnagh, Andrew Parnell, Estevao Prado +1
We propose an extension of the N-mixture model which allows for the estimation of both abundances of multiple species simultaneously and their inter-species correlations. We also p…
