Linking behavioral ecology and population monitoring: The importance of group size for spatial population models

Ecosphere
Modeling the spatial distribution of wildlife abundance is paramount for management. In group‐forming species, group size and occurrence may be governed by different ecological processes.

dalmatian: A Package for Fitting Double Hierarchical Linear Models in R via JAGS and nimble

Journal of Statistical Software, 2021
Traditional regression models, including generalized linear mixed models, focus on understanding the deterministic factors that affect the mean of a response variable.

Transcriptional profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles from prebiopsy prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RNA profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples of men undergoing prostate biopsy identifies transcripts associated with clinically significant prostate cancer. Integrative analysis with public tumor datasets links EV‐derived gene signatures to tumor stage and progression‐free survival, highlighting CASP3, XRCC2, and RIT1 ...

On the complexity of hierarchical problem solving [PDF]

, 2005
Competent Genetic Algorithms can efficiently address problems in which the linkage between variables is limited to a small order k. Problems with higher order dependencies can only be addressed efficiently if further problem properties exist that can be ...

Spatially prioritizing mitigation for amphibian roadkills based on fatality estimation and landscape conversion

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Roads cause biodiversity loss and the effects of wildlife-vehicle collisions may ripple from individuals and populations to ecosystem functioning. Amphibians are threatened worldwide and, despite being particularly prone to roadkill impacts, they are ...

Developmental programmes drive cellular plasticity, disease progression and therapy resistance in lung adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that lung adenocarcinomas exploit developmental branching morphogenesis to acquire a therapy resistant basal‐like tumour cell state. This process was found to be regulated by combined TP53 loss‐of‐function and type‐I interferon signalling, identifying a novel axis for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery.

Fitting host-parasitoid models with CV² > 1 using hierarchical generalized linear models [PDF]

, 2000
The powerful general Pacala-Hassell host-parasitoid model for a patchy environment, which allows host density–dependent heterogeneity (HDD) to be distinguished from between-patch, host density–independent heterogeneity (HDI), is reformulated within the ...

Key Habitat and Predatory Influences on the Community- and Species-Level Population Dynamics of Spring-Breeding Amphibian Larvae Within a Remnant Tupelo-Cypress Wetland

Hydrobiology
Understanding the factors influencing amphibian populations is essential for effective freshwater conservation, particularly for species with biphasic life histories.

A class of admissible estimators of multiple regression coefficient with an unknown variance

Statistical Theory and Related Fields, 2020
Suppose that we observe ${\boldsymbol y} \mid {\boldsymbol \theta },\ \tau \sim N_p({\boldsymbol X}{\boldsymbol \theta },\tau ^{-1}{\boldsymbol I}_p) $, where ${\boldsymbol \theta } $ is an unknown vector with unknown precision τ.
