EEB Special Seminar: The role of human mobility on disease ecology

Quantifying human ecological systems is key to understanding the relationship between human populations and infectious pathogens. Characterizing the ecology of many pathogens requires integrating data on humans’ interactions with environmental and biological systems, a goal historically limited by data availability. Increasingly, novel sources of data are available to quantify human behavior for millions of individuals. In this talk, I will focus on research using mobile phone calling data to quantify human travel patterns that are directly related to ecological disease dynamics.
