Connectivity, Reproduction Number, And Mobility Interact To Determine Communities’ Epidemiological Superspreader Potential In A Metapopulation Network, Brandon Lieberthal, Allison M. Gardner
Connectivity, Reproduction Number, And Mobility Interact To Determine Communities’ Epidemiological Superspreader Potential In A Metapopulation Network, Brandon Lieberthal, Allison M. Gardner
School of Biology & Ecology
Disease epidemic outbreaks on human metapopulation networks are often driven by a small number of superspreader nodes, which are primarily responsible for spreading the disease throughout the network. Superspreader nodes typically are characterized either by their locations within the network, by their degree of connectivity and centrality, or by their habitat suitability for the disease, described by their reproduction number (R). Here we introduce a model that considers simultaneously the effects of network properties and R on superspreaders, as opposed to previous research which considered each factor separately. This type of model is applicable to diseases for which …

Wildlife, Fisheries, & Conservation Biology_Draft Recommendations For Field Work During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Brian J. Olsen
School of Biology & Ecology
Draft copy of recommendations for field work during the COVID-19 pandemic, authored by Brian J. Olsen, Chair, Department of Wildlife, Fisheries & Conservation Biology, Interim Director of the Ecology and Environmental Sciences Program, and Associate Professor of Ornithology. In developing the recommendations Professor Olsen queried 100 University of Maine faculty members who conduct field research and collected comments from over two dozen.
The guidelines were sent for review to Frederick Servello, Dean of the University of Maine College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture, and Director of the Maine Agricultural and Forest Experiment Station, Christopher Gerbi, Associate Dean for Research …
