Unraveling antler progression in desert mule deer: implications for common management practices
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Antler characteristics are commonly used in the management of cervid species to achieve a variety of management goals. Such characteristics are commonly the basis for culling criteria to increase mean antler size. However, the efficacy of culling programs is questionable, and there are few robust evaluations of criteria reliability.

Hydrodynamic gradients affect facilitation in soft sediment communities
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study extends ecological theory on facilitation to marine soft‐sediment systems and offers insight into the functional role of habitat‐forming infauna. Abstract Positive species interactions, or facilitation, are fundamental drivers of ecological community assembly and stability.

Real GDP Growth Predictability and Implications for Estimating Australia's Output Gap
Australian Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The output gap, defined as the cyclical component of real GDP, is a key variable for macroeconomic policy. It is also sometimes analogously interpreted as a measure of the business cycle. Real GDP growth in Australia has been known to be almost unpredictable beyond a constant level using standard time series models of its own past outcomes. We
