This 4-year opportunity is “adjacent” to pest risk modelling – involving many of the same bioclimatic modelling tools. Modelling the impact of rising temperature and seasonal drought on the productivity of key forest species Application closing date: 31st Oct 2024 Assessing the impact of rising temperature and seasonal drought on the productivity of key forest […]
We are thrilled to invite you to an insightful webinar that delves into cutting-edge advancements in species distribution modeling (SDMs) and their pivotal role in identifying climatically suitable areas for invasive alien species. Our distinguished speaker will explore a groundbreaking approach that addresses common issues faced by traditional SDMs. Webinar Details:
IPRRG members have recently published an important and interesting paper using pest risk modelling techniques to explore the link between cassava diseases in East Africa and climate suitability for the vector, silver leaf whitefly. A CLIMEX niche model for B. tabaci was applied to an historical climate time series in East Africa. Transforming the time-series of climate […]
Amid all the excitement around our webinar series, we forgot to announce the recent publication of Volume 4, Issue 5 in Emerging Topics in Life Sciences! The issue, “Biosecurity: Tools, behaviours and concepts”, was edited by IPRRG member Alan MacLeod and Nicola Spence (Defra, UK). The journal specializes in publishing themed issues comprised of easy-to-digest […]
We hope that everyone is staying safe and doing reasonably well in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there are many challenges ahead over the coming months, we thought it was important to share an exciting development: IPRRG will be assuming the responsibilities of the former International Advisory Group on Pest Risk Analysis (IAGPRA).
