Polyethylene tarping elevates temperature and reduces emergence of Phloeosinus punctatus LeConte (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from giant sequoia debris piles

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 265-269, May 2026.
Phloeosinus bark beetles may build up large populations in branch debris piles and stress giant sequoia trees. Covering debris piles with polyethylene sheeting increased the mean ambient temperature in piles and reduced beetle emergence. This was mediated by canopy structure, where ambient temperatures were further elevated under open canopies.

A multilevel Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process with individual‐ and variable‐specific estimates as random effects

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 325-340, May 2026.
Abstract In the present study, we extend a stochastic differential equation (SDE) model, the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process, to the simultaneous analysis of time series of multiple variables by means of random effects for individuals and variables using a Bayesian framework.

Bayesian estimation using Lindley’s approximation of Inverted Kumaraswamy distribution based on lower record values

, 2023
In this paper, we have considered estimation of unknown parameters based on lower record values for Inverted Kumaraswamy distribution. Maximum likelihood and approximate Bayes estimators based on lower record values for unknown parameters of this distribution are obtained.

Compound‐Specific Stable Isotope Analysis Reveals Population‐Specific Differences in Chinook Salmon Trophic Level and Basal Resource Use in the Northeast Pacific

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 397-412, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Chinook salmon exhibit far‐flung and disparate population‐specific marine migrations that have made it difficult to assess their trophic ecology. In this study, we collected returning and resident subadult Fraser River Chinook salmon in 2018 and 2019 from population groups with different known run‐timings (spring, summer, and fall) and marine ...

Nurse‐Led Innovations for Optimising the Quality and Safety of Care for the Older Person in Residential Aged Care: A Warrant for Action

Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 5548-5555, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To canvas the contemporary contextual forces within the Australian residential aged care sector and argue for new research and innovation. There is a pressing need to provide systematised, high‐quality and person‐centred care to our ageing populations, especially for those who rely on residential care.

Insurance Coverage and Perceived Access to Care Among Rural Adults: A Cross‐Sectional Study Using Andersen's Behavioral Model

Public Health Nursing, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 585-594, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Despite national efforts to improve insurance coverage, access to medical care in rural U.S. communities remains limited. While insurance is a well‐established enabler of healthcare utilization, its relationship to perceived access among rural adults is underexplored.

Shifting stage‐specific constraints on productivity shape recovery potential for Yukon River Chinook salmon

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Identifying key life history periods in which population productivity is constrained represents a persistent challenge in conservation and natural resource management. For species with complex life cycles, such as Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), population dynamics may be shaped by interactions between natural and anthropogenic impacts ...

Classical and Bayesian Estimation of Stress–Strength Reliability in the X-Lindley Distribution Under Progressive Censoring

IEEE Access
This study investigates the estimation of the stress-strength reliability measure, $\varsigma = P(X \lt Y)$ , assuming that both stress ( $X$ ) and strength ( $Y$ ) follow the new X-Lindley distribution.
