Resource suitability drives low use of avian‐excavated tree cavities: A multi‐state occupancy dynamics approach

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Birds that nest in tree cavities are sometimes dependent on a few cavity‐excavating bird species to make nesting sites available. Such interdependency, however, does not always materialize because excavated cavities may be unsuitable for continued use, even when available for several years after excavation.

Colour Morphs as Alternative Solutions to the Trade‐Off Predicted by the Immuno‐Competence Handicap Hypothesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we tested whether white and yellow morphs of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) adopt alternative strategies shaped by the immuno‐competence handicap hypotheses (ICHH). We found that testosterone‐induced immune suppression was stronger in white males, while aggression decreased in both morphs.

Model‐Free Local Partial Correlation

Australian &New Zealand Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the simple linear regression context, partial correlation measures the linear association between two variables, with the linear effects of a third control variable removed. In this paper, we investigate the local partial correlation using a kernel smoothing approach.

Estimation of Daily Smoking Prevalence for Disaggregated Statistical Areas in Australia

Australian &New Zealand Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motivated by the need to estimate prevalence at multiple disaggregated level hierarchies, rather than only one, this study extends widely used area‐level models in Bayesian and frequentist framework. We propose adding additional unstructured random effects at higher level disaggregated domains to the traditional models. Using our extension, we

Effects of social exclusion on following the gaze of others

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evidence shows that social exclusion motivates to paying attention to the situation to reconnect with others or to protect oneself from further exclusion. However, it is unclear how social attention is affected by who offers an opportunity to reconnect.
