abstract = {The first influenza pandemic in our century started in 2009, spreading from Mexico to the rest of the world, infecting a noticeable fraction of the world population. The outbreak reached Europe in late April, and eventually, almost all countries had confirmed H1N1 cases. On 6 May, Swedish authorities reported the first confirmed influenza case. By the time the pandemic ended, more than 10 thousand people were infected in the country. In this paper, we aim to discover critical socio-economic, travel, and environmental factors contributing to the spreading of H1N1 in Sweden covering six years between 2009 and 2015, focusing on the onset and 2. the peak of the epidemic phase in each municipality. We apply the Generalized Inverse Infection Method (GIIM) to identify these factors. GIIM represents an epidemic spreading process on a network of nodes corresponding to geographical objects, connected by links indicating travel routes, and transmission probabilities assigned to the links guiding the infection process. The GIIM method uses observations on a real-life outbreak as a training dataset to estimate these probabilities and construct a simulated outbreak matching the training data as close as possible. Our results show that the influenza outbreaks considered in this study are mainly driven by the largest population centers in the country. Also, changes in temperature have a noticeable effect. Other socio-economic factors contribute only moderately to the epidemic peak and have a negligible effect on the epidemic onset. We also demonstrate that by training our model on the 2009 outbreak, we can predict the timing of the epidemic onset in the following five seasons with good accuracy. The model proposed in this paper provides a real-time decision support tool advising on resource allocation and surveillance. Furthermore, while this study only considers H1N1 outbreaks, the model can be adapted to other influenza strains or diseases with a similar transmission mechanism.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.Funding StatementAndras Bota was supported by the Olle Engkvist Byggmästare Foundation.

abstract = {According to the competitive exclusion principle, species with low competitive abilities should be excluded by more efficient competitors; yet, they generally remain as rare species. Here, we describe the positive and negative spatial association networks of 326 disparate assemblages, showing a general organization pattern that simultaneously supports the primacy of competition and the persistence of rare species. Abundant species monopolize negative associations in about 90% of the assemblages. On the other hand, rare species are mostly involved in positive associations, forming small network modules. Simulations suggest that positive interactions among rare species and microhabitat preferences are the most probable mechanisms underpinning this pattern and rare species persistence. The consistent results across taxa and geography suggest a general explanation for the maintenance of biodiversity in competitive environments.},

abstract = {Summary This chapter unfolds different aims underpinning community detection – in a relaxed form that includes assortative as well as disassortative group structures with dense and sparse internal connections, respectively – and discusses how the resulting problem perspectives relate to various applications. It focuses on four broad perspectives that have served as motivation for community detection in the literature: the cut-based perspective that minimizes a constraint such as the number of links between groups of nodes, the clustering perspective that maximizes internal density in groups of nodes, the stochastic block model perspective that identifies groups of nodes in which nodes are stochastically equivalent, and the dynamical perspective that identifies groups of nodes in which flows stay for a relatively long time such that they form building blocks of dynamics on networks. While this categorization is not unique, the authors believe that it can help clarify concepts about community detection.},

abstract = {Human activity leading to both species introductions and extinctions is widely known to influence diversity patterns on local and regional scales. Yet, it is largely unknown whether the intensity of this activity is enough to affect the configuration of biodiversity at broader levels of spatial organization. Zoogeographical regions, or zooregions, are surfaces of the Earth defined by characteristic pools of species, which reflect ecological, historical, and evolutionary processes acting over millions of years. Consequently, it is widely assumed that zooregions are robust and unlikely to change on a human timescale. Here, however, we show that human-mediated introductions and extinctions can indeed reconfigure the currently recognized zooregions of amphibians, mammals, and birds. In particular, introductions homogenize the African and Eurasian zooregions in mammals; reshape boundaries with the reallocation of Oceania to the New World zooregion in amphibians; and divide bird zooregions by increasing biotic heterogeneity. Furthermore, the combined effect of amphibian introductions and extinctions has the potential to divide two zooregions largely representing the Old and the New World. Interestingly, the robustness of zooregions against changes in species composition may largely explain such zoogeographical changes. Altogether, our results demonstrate that human activities can erode the higher-level organization of biodiversity formed over millions of years. Comparable reconfigurations have previously been detectable in Earth's history only after glaciations and mass extinction events, highlighting the profound and far-reaching impact of ongoing human activity and the need to protect the uniqueness of biotic assemblages from the effects of future species introductions and extinctions.},

abstract = {Community detection, the decomposition of a graph into essential building blocks, has been a core research topic in network science over the past years. Since a precise notion of what constitutes a community has remained evasive, community detection algorithms have often been compared on benchmark graphs with a particular form of assortative community structure and classified based on the mathematical techniques they employ. However, this comparison can be misleading because apparent similarities in their mathematical machinery can disguise different goals and reasons for why we want to employ community detection in the first place. Here we provide a focused review of these different motivations that underpin community detection. This problem-driven classification is useful in applied network science, where it is important to select an appropriate algorithm for the given purpose. Moreover, highlighting the different facets of community detection also delineates the many lines of research and points out open directions and avenues for future research.},

From flows of money between banks or ideas among scientists to pandemic outbreaks and range shifts of species, Martin Rosvall’s research focuses on developing methods for revealing the inner workings of interconnected systems to answer questions in various areas of science.
Martin was born in Uppsala and grew up north of Umeå. He went to a high school for cross-country skiing in Lycksele before his undergraduate in engineering physics. After his Ph.D. in network science at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Martin moved to the Department of Biology at the University of Washington in Seattle for his postdoc. There he started working on a grand challenge in network science: how to simplify and highlight essential regularities in networks into maps. Mapping networks is a holy grail of data science because in the myriad links and nodes of a network hide answers to how we can predict how the system will evolve.
From 2009 at Umeå University, Martin has continued to develop and integrate new math, algorithms, and visualizations into powerful mapping tools for efficiently going from interaction data to insightful maps, new hypotheses, and unexpected discoveries. With a thriving research group in IceLab and a growing collaboration network, the applications now extend across both the natural and social sciences.
As a professional power napper, Martin’s favorite place in IceLab after lunch is a hidden couch.
Martin lives between the university and the ski trails with his wife Marie Halén and their two daughters born in 2014 and 2018. When he is not playing with his family, you will find him increasing his dopamine levels on cross-country skis.
In 2014 Martin received the Nordea Science Prize and in 2018 the Young Scientist Award for Socio- and Econophysics.

Map Equation
Martin Rosvall’s site MapEquation.org houses a number of applications based on the map equation.
Infobaleen
Martin Rosvall is a co-founder of the university spin-off Infobaleen. For the many organizations struggling to understand and use their data, Infobaleen develops flexible tools that help them go from data to insights and valuable actions.
