Modelling the national breeding distribution and population size of an elusive forest bird, the Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Understanding the distribution of species is central to conservation biology. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a standard method used for this purpose, especially for elusive species for which limited occurrence data exist. The Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola (hereafter Woodcock) is an elusive, woodland‐dwelling wader that is declining in ...

Miners' Reward Elasticity and Stability of Competing Proof‐of‐Work Cryptocurrencies

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proof‐of‐Work cryptocurrencies employ miners to sustain the system through algorithmic reward adjustments. We develop a stochastic model of the multicurrency mining and identify conditions for stable transaction speeds. Bitcoin's algorithm requires hash supply elasticity <$<$1 for stability, while ASERT remains stable for any elasticity and ...

The theory proposes that people develop a causal map concerning the consequences of the rise of a strong leader.
