African Economic Growth Revisited
Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents an updated analysis of the patterns of economic development in Africa over the last 60 years. The analysis stresses the heterogeneity of development trajectories among sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries. We examine the joint dynamics of income and population in 35 SSA countries.

Seabird population responses after the removal of an introduced predator
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We studied the response of a breeding population of seabirds (pigeon guillemots) to the removal of an introduced population of predators (American mink) from an archipelago that was formerly the largest aggregation of nesting guillemots in Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Generative AI for Bayesian Computation
EntropyGenerative Bayesian Computation (GBC) provides a simulation-based approach to Bayesian inference. A Quantile Neural Network (QNN) is trained to map samples from a base distribution to the posterior distribution.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We demonstrate an approach for mapping the probability of landowners' willingness to allow wildlife management actions on their property using chronic wasting disease as a case study. Larger property sizes were associated with higher landowner willingness. We mapped predictions across the contiguous United States at the census tract level.

Hydrological Model Diversity Enhances Streamflow Forecast Skill at Short‐ to Medium‐Range Timescales
Water Resources Research, 2019 We investigate the ability of hydrological multimodel ensemble predictions to enhance the skill of streamflow forecasts at short‐ to medium‐range timescales.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We modeled prairie grouse abundance across Nebraska and projected future woody encroachment to estimate population losses. By combining predicted gains from woody treatments with avoided losses and treatment costs, we mapped return on investment to identify areas for woody treatments that maximize benefits to greater prairie‐chickens and sharp‐tailed ...

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Tailwaters are ubiquitous and highly managed ecosystems whose food webs often rely disproportionately on autochthonous energy. In situ continuous dissolved oxygen data are increasingly being used to estimate gross primary productivity and ecosystem respiration in rivers, but this approach is complicated in tailwaters, where upriver ...

Mapping Causal Biology: Mendelian Randomization in the Era of Big Data
Med Research, EarlyView.Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages genetic variants to mitigate confounding biases in causal inference. This review systematically maps MR's methodological evolution, highlights its expanding applications in epidemiology and drug target validation, and outlines future directions for overcoming current biases through dynamic, multi‐omics, and cross ...
