Cameras or Divers? How Baited Remote Underwater Videos and 'Long Swims' Underwater Visual Census Complement Each Other on Coral Reefs.. Conventional methods for surveying coral reefs, such as underwater visual census (UVC), often underestimate large-bodied, mobile, or cryptic fish species due to limitations in diver mobility and visual detection. To address these limitations, rapid timed 'Long Swim' (LS) UVC protocols have been developed to better capture large predator assemblages, yet their performance relative to baited remote underwater videos (BRUV) remains poorly evaluated in topographically complex oceanic reef environments. This study provides the first site-specific comparison of B…

Modeling the spatial spread of COVID-19 in Kenya.. This study examines the spatial diffusion of COVID-19 across Kenyan counties using gravity based and spatial autoregressive (SAR) models. We model transmission as a one way process originating from Nairobi, which reported Kenya's first confirmed case and serves as the country's Main center of mobility, commerce, and governance. Using county level data on confirmed cases, population, gross domestic product, poverty rates, household count, and access to media, we estimate multiple Linear and SAR regressions to identify structural and spatial determinants of disease burden. By July 2021, the extended gravity model demonstrated strong explanato…
