Another influential paper on integrating mark-recapture-recovery and census data was foundational to the internationally-embraced sub-field of Integrated Population Modelling within statistical ecology. Most recently, he has been at the forefront of developing computationally-efficient methods for co-analysis of the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme with citizen science data sources, to give insights to biodiversity in urban versus rural settings. Byron Morgan was also one of the co-founders and first director of the National Centre for Statistical Ecology, a virtual Centre that links up statistical ecologists in the UK, and internationally.<\/div>\n<p><b>Professor Deborah Ashby, President of the Royal Statistical Society, said:<\/b>\u00a0\u201cProfessor Morgan has had a great influence on the world of statistics and statistical ecology.
