Funded Activity Summary

Advances in biodiversity modelling - analysis of high-dimensional counts. The aim is to develop flexible models for the analysis of high-dimensional count data, in particular, for studying species interactions and the response of communities to environmental factors. This project is significant because increasingly, important research questions are answered using data with many response variables, with a particular need when studying ecological communities and their response to environmental impacts. This project aims to develop the first models that can be used directly to draw valid community-level conclusions for common ecological data types. The expected outcome is a powerful toolset for fully model-based inference from high-dimensional counts, introducing modern approaches to a high-impact area of ecology.
