West Nile virus is spreading rapidly, but predicting outbreaks remains difficult due to limited data on which wild birds can carry it. This study from #JRSocInterface uses AI to identify over 4900 potential bird hosts worldwide doi.org/10.1098/rsif... #Biomathematics #Ecosystem #EnvironmentalScience

Some new work from us, led by @davididiaquez.bsky.social (see thread ⬇️). We ask what happens if instead of measuring on calendar dates, we measure bird responses to climate defined by the temperature at which annual events happen. It turns out they keep stable T˚!

Life-history theory predicts a trade-off between allocation of resources to reproduction or self-maintenance, yet how environmental variability shapes this trade-off remains poorly understood. We sho...
