VectorByte Initiative call for applications: VectorByte training workshop on vector abundance and time-dependent data analysis

The VectorByte Initiative is hosting a training workshop on vector abundance and time-dependent data analysis from 13-16 June 2025. The three day training workshop will introduce the VecDyn database as well as analysis tools for longitudinal species abundance and time dependent data.

Date: 13th -16th of  June, 2025

Location: Campus of the Notre Dame in south Bend, Indiana, USA.

The workshop will include training in statistical and mathematical methods for utilizing data, with examples focused on dynamic abundance data. A variety of analytical tools and approaches in R will be introduced, with working examples that interface with the VecDyn database.VectorByte training workshop on vector abundance and time-dependent data analysis. 

This workshop is appropriate for participants who have working experience with R and with beginning to intermediate statistical knowledge (e.g., ANOVA, linear models, and hypothesis testing, likelihoods).

Participation will be limited to around 20 early career scientists (primarily graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and practitioners with relevant experience and interest).

Funding: 

• Funding is available to support domestic travel, accommodation (including breakfast, and lunches) during sessions from June 13-16.
• Free course.
