SimOutbreakSelection: a simulation-based tool to optimise sampling design and analysis strategies for detecting epidemic-driven selection by Cindy G. Santander, Ida Moltke

“…The examples also show that comparing those who died from an outbreak to survivors has the potential to render higher power than more commonly used sampling schemes. And importantly, they show that even for severe outbreaks, like the Black Death (≈50% mortality), selection may have led to only a modest increase in allele frequency, suggesting large sample sizes are required to obtain appropriate power. …”

eDNA Sampling Detects Early Colonization of Spotted Lanternfly Lycorma delicatula Better Than In‐Person Scouting in an Urban Landscape by Daiyanera Kelsey, Jonathan Lee‐Rodriguez, Andy Michel, Christopher M. Ranger, Luis Canas, Ashley Leach

“…SLF is often found in association with tree‐of‐heaven (Ailanthus altissima), near rail lines, and in disturbed areas; however, further data is needed to understand how these factors increase the risk of spotted lanternfly detection. Over 2 years, we sampled for spotted lanternfly using two methods: in‐person scouting and eDNA sampling over 45 sites in Cleveland, OH during peak SLF activity (May–October). …”

A Review on Optimal Subsampling Method by Xu Yuan

“…It is only in the case of linear models that subsampling founded on D-optimality proves to be more effective in comparison to other methods. When contrasted with subsampling with replacement, poisson sampling emerges as a more efficient subsampling technique, demanding less memory and taking up less processing time.…”
