The VectorByte initiative is establishing a global open access data platform to study disease vectors. This project serves as a hub for biological trait (VecTraits) and abundance data (VecDyn) for human and non-human disease vectors, plus training!

You've seen the curves, maybe you implemented this at a @vectorbyte.bsky.social workshop. Now live for primetime - bayesTPC in R! Great job VT team!!

Paul Huxley@phuxley.bsky.social

Our paper for bayesTPC, an #R package for #Bayesian thermal performance curve fitting is OUTTT! Special credit to lead author Sean Sorek for his splendid work on this + John Smith and Leah Johnson. Paper: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/WQZEWI... Blog to follow soon: vectorbyte.org/blog

This effort builds on years of puzzling through informatics and practical data to build models. You've seen lots of amazing projects using these data types, and hopefully this facilitates more in the future! FAIR principles matter.

But the data are reported in so many different ways in the literature, sometimes in aggregate, sometimes with some units specified, and others not... this makes comparisons and synthesis (think replication and reuse), complicated. What is the minimum amount of information needed?
