Apparent survival of the salamander
, 2007 Background Understanding the demographic processes underlying population dynamics is a central theme in ecology. Populations decline if losses from the population (i.e., mortality and emigration) exceed gains (i.e., recruitment and immigration). Amphibians are thought to exhibit little movement even though local populations often fluctuate dramatically

The escape problem under stochastic volatility: the Heston model
, 2008 We solve the escape problem for the Heston random diffusion model. We obtain exact expressions for the survival probability (which ammounts to solving the complete escape problem) as well as for the mean exit time. We also average the volatility in order

Acoustic cavitation nuclei survive the apparent ultrasonic destruction of Albunex® microspheres
Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 1997 The hypothesis tested was that gas bodies capable of nucleating violent cavitation activity in vitro would survive the rapid disruption of Albunex microspheres by 1-MHz ultrasound. Human erythrocyte hemolysis was used as a proxy measure of cavitation.

Foray movements are common and vary with natal habitat for a highly mobile bird
Ecology and EvolutionUnderstanding dispersal is central to interpreting the effects of climate change, habitat loss and habitat fragmentation, and species invasions. Prior to dispersal, animals may gather information about the surrounding landscape via forays, or systematic,
