Functional divergence drives the prevalence of low‐abundance species in bat assemblages
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are structured by a few common species, while most occur at low abundance. Understanding the drivers of this widespread pattern raises fundamental questions about community assembly rules and is important for applied ecology for identifying ...

Computing motion in the primate's visual system [PDF]
, 1989 Computing motion on the basis of the time-varying image intensity is a difficult problem for both artificial and biological vision systems. We will show how one well-known gradient-based computer algorithm for estimating visual motion can be implemented ...

Scalable iterative methods for sampling from massive Gaussian random vectors [PDF]
, 2013 Sampling from Gaussian Markov random fields (GMRFs), that is multivariate Gaussian ran- dom vectors that are parameterised by the inverse of their covariance matrix, is a fundamental problem in computational statistics.

Before It Was ‘New’: A Neglected History of Lived Experience–Led Criminal Justice
The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A growing range of criminal justice initiatives are being shaped and delivered by people with lived experience, including peer mentoring, prisoner councils and policy advocacy roles. While often seen as recent innovations, we reveal a deeper, largely unacknowledged history dating back to at least the 19th century.

Fractals and Self-Similarity in Economics: the Case of a Stochastic Two-Sector Growth Model [PDF]
We study a stochastic, discrete-time, two-sector optimal growth model in which the production of the homogeneous consumption good uses a Cobb-Douglas technology, combining physical capital and an endogenously determined share of human capital.

Intraoperative Nail Matrix Assessment in Longitudinal Melanonychia
International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Longitudinal melanonychia (LM) may represent subungual melanoma (SUM), yet clinical differentiation from benign LM remains challenging. Intraoperative dermoscopy (IOD) improves diagnostic accuracy but requires specialized equipment and time.
