Vabljeni!

Mollie Brooks is a Senior Researcher at the Danish Technical University in the National Institute of Aquatic Resources. Her research focuses on estimating demographic processes and how they vary in response to environmental and individual heterogeneity. She develops widely applicable statistical methods.

Talk Abstract: Body weight affects many components of demography and therefore has consequences for management and conservation. Growth is typically affected by environmental variables such as population density and weather. Terrestrial demographers often model growth in body size using time-series of weights, whereas fish demographers more often use length-at-age models such as the Von Bertalanffy or Gompertz growth models. However, typical length-at-age models are less flexible for quantifying transient variability in growth due to environmental and individual variability. To use length-at-age models more flexibly, we converted weights to lengths and modeled growth increments. We implemented Von Bertalanffy and Gompertz growth increment models in RTMB. We compared these mechanistic models with linear mixed models (LMMs) and generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs). We used glmmTMB to fit the GAMMs, a new capability of the package. Then we evaluated the ability of these models to forecast because our goal is to project future fish weights under different climate change scenarios.
