Journal ArticleDOI
What drives community dynamics
TL;DR: The results show that communities are largely driven by environmental fluctuations, and that member populations are, to different extents, regulated through intraspecific interactions, the effects of interspecific interactions remaining broadly minor.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multispecies perspective on ecological impacts of climatic forcing
TL;DR: The hierarchical Bayesian modelling approach with the state-space formulation is combined to extend the scope of previously proposed models of population dynamics under climatic forcing to multi-species systems and the contribution of interspecific interactions to community-level variation was found to be weak.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extended Bayesian LASSO for multiple quantitative trait loci mapping and unobserved phenotype prediction.
TL;DR: The extended Bayesian LASSO (EBL) is proposed for QTL mapping and unobserved phenotype prediction, which introduces an additional level to the hierarchical specification of the BL to explicitly separate out these two model features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological equivalence of species within phytoplankton functional groups
TL;DR: The analysis supports the approach of using a single set of traits for a functional group and suggests that it should be possible to determine these traits from natural communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Which environmental factors control phytoplankton populations? A Bayesian variable selection approach
TL;DR: A hierarchical Bayesian model with variable selection is developed to identify how temperature, salinity, irradiance, and macronutrient concentrations determine the abundance of the 67 dominant identified species at Station CARIACO in the Caribbean Sea.
