Covariates influence optimal camera‐trap survey design for occupancy modelling

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We investigated the impact of covariates (e.g., habitat quality, temperature) on the optimal design of camera trap surveys to estimate species occupancy. Using simulations of a virtual species, we found that increasing the number of cameras consistently reduced error across a range of covariate effects.

Monitoring feral pigs (Sus scrofa): Complementarity between autonomous sensing methods increases detection probability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Invasive alien species are a major threat for biodiversity worldwide and effective monitoring is paramount to inform management. In this study we used a multi‐season occupancy model to assess probability of detection between camera traps and passive acoustic recorders for feral pigs (Sus scrofa) during 1 year of data collection.

Education for Problems of Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cynefin framework for decision‐making categorizes problem environments into simple (known knowns), complicated (known unknowns), complex (unknown unknowns), and chaotic (unknowables). Simple and complicated problem environments enable best and good solutions, but complex and chaotic problem environments require emergent and novel solutions.

Members Only—The Emergence of the Business Family as a Professionalized and Differentiated Organizational System

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The importance of business families is increasingly gaining attention. However, to truly understand business families and their dynamics, they must be viewed as distinct systems. Since this area has received limited scholarly focus, we argue that forming a new system is more than just an extension.

A Proposal to Center Relevance in Applied Linguistics Research: The Relevance‐to‐Practice (RTP) Framework

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Considering applied linguistics as a problem‐centered discipline, we address an enduring challenge in the field: the need to ensure that research provides findings that can contribute to solving everyday challenges faced by language practitioners.

Iowa Population Exposures to Metals and Metalloids in Well Water

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous Iowa studies suggest low levels and chronic arsenic exposures are associated with prostate cancer. The rural Iowa population heavily relies on private wells for drinking water resources and thus is vulnerable to contaminants such as heavy metals found in well water.

Pseudorandomised controlled trial of a novel navel barrier solution versus 10% iodine to protect navel and ear tag sites of neonatal lambs

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background During lambing, 10% iodine is often used to protect neonatal navel and ear tag sites. The evidence for its effectiveness is sparse. Recently, a specific navel barrier solution (NBS) was developed. Here, an in vivo field trial compared the two treatments. Methods Ten farms reported data from 6840 lambs. The navel and ear tag sites of

Prevalence of hip and elbow dysplasia in young adult dogs in Sweden

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hip and elbow dysplasia (HD and ED) are common developmental orthopaedic disorders in dogs. The study objectives were to report population‐based estimates of HD and ED prevalence at screening in young adult dogs of different breeds and to evaluate the phenotypic association between HD and ED.

Polytopal realizations of finite type $\mathbf{g}$-vector fans

, 2018
This paper shows the polytopality of any finite type $\mathbf{g}$-vector fan, acyclic or not. In fact, for any finite Dynkin type $\Gamma$, we construct a universal associahedron $\mathsf{Asso}_{\mathrm{un}}(\Gamma)$ with the property that any $\mathbf{g}

Comparing isoflurane and desflurane: A prospective randomised blinded clinical trial in horses undergoing elective surgery

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The recovery period is associated with the greatest risk of injury for horses undergoing anaesthesia. Recovery quality and duration can be influenced by the volatile agent. Methods This prospective, randomised blinded clinical investigation recruited 101 healthy client‐owned horses undergoing elective surgery at one UK equine ...
