Evidence for biological Lévy flights stands [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Edwards et al. [Nature 449, 1044-1048 (2007)] revisited well-known studies reporting power-laws in the frequency distribution of flight duration of wandering albatrosses, and concluded that no L\'evy process could model recent observations with higher resolution.

Marine Bird Bycatch in Alaska Salmon Gillnet Fisheries
Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Incidental catch in gillnet fisheries has a substantial conservation impact on marine diving birds. We synthesized available marine bird bycatch data from Alaska salmon gillnet fisheries to estimate standardized bycatch rates, model factors influencing bycatch rates, and estimate total bycatch.

Albatross: a Privacy-Preserving Location Sharing System [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Social networking services are increasingly accessed through mobile devices. This trend has prompted services such as Facebook and Google+ to incorporate location as a de facto feature of user interaction. At the same time, services based on location such as Foursquare and Shopkick are also growing as smartphone market penetration increases.

Albatross: An optimistic consensus algorithm [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The consensus protocol is a critical component of distributed ledgers and blockchains. Achieving consensus over a decentralized network poses challenges to transaction finality and performance. Currently, the highest-performing consensus algorithms are speculative BFT algorithms, which, however, compromise on the transaction finality guarantees offered

Ecosystem-based Management for Protected Species in the North Pacific Fisheries [PDF]
, 2011 In the North Pacific Ocean, an ecosystem-based fishery management approach has been adopted. A significant objective of this approach is to reduce interactions between fishery-related activities and protected species.
