Host‐mediated filtering and interspecific associations structure strongyle parasite communities in Sable Island horses

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using individual‐level nemabiome metabarcoding of 3147 samples from 916 horses on Sable Island over 10 years, we generate the largest dataset of its kind to date. This unprecedented scale enables a rare test of the processes structuring parasite communities in a natural system, revealing dominant host‐mediated filtering and predominantly positive ...

Fear generalization, cross‐sensitization and behavioural responses to multiple dangers in a freshwater snail

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that juvenile exposure to a danger can not only prime individuals to be more responsive to that same danger later in life but also to an ostensibly unrelated danger. These patterns of behavioural cross‐sensitization can have important ecological implications for how animals respond to multiple and novel stressors. Abstract Behavioural responses

The Partial Distribution: Definition, Properties and Applications in Economy [PDF]

In this discussed draft, we want to present the Partial Distribution (F.Dai, 2001) for discussing. We compare the partial distribution with lognormal and levy distribution.

The Value of Controlling Wilding Conifers in New Zealand

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exotic, invasive conifer tree species, known as ‘wilding conifers’, pose a significant threat to natural ecosystems and are costly to manage, creating a need to identify community preferences in order to inform and balance public investment in their control.

Digitalization and Cybersecurity: Firm‐level Evidence

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Digitalization has opposing effects on cybersecurity: While new digital technologies can strengthen security capabilities, they simultaneously expand potential attack surfaces. To determine which effect dominates, we analyse 9606 US firm‐years (2006–2023) with 543 documented breaches and find that increased digitalization, measured through 10 ...

Mainland diversification and recent island lineages in the reduviid genus Tapirocoris: an integrative taxonomic framework with four new species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Using an integrative taxonomic framework that combines COI DNA barcodes, geometric morphometrics and phylogeography, we revise the assassin bug genus Tapirocoris and recover seven well‐supported species, including four newly described cryptic species.

Testing Special Cases of the GB2 Distribution: Comment and an Extension

We extend earlier work (Griffiths and Hill, 2025) by pointing out that a score test developed by Prentice (1975) for testing whether a normal distribution is an adequate representation of the log of a GB2 random variable is suitable for testing whether a

Intra‐ and Interspecific Effects on Spatio‐Temporal Behavior of Common Commensal Rodent Species

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study revealed major findings on spatio‐temporal behavior of commensal rodents on a pig farm showing the influence of interspecific dominance on movement behavior and the resulting species‐specific ecological adaptations. Additionally, rodents tend to stay in their home ranges and migration to other stable buildings is only rare.

Fishing Activity Affected Odontocete Cetacean Distribution in a Marine Protected Area in the East China Sea

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.

Análisis bayesiano para la distribución lognormal generalizada aplicada a modelos de falla con censura Bayesian Analysis for the Generalized Lognormal Distribution Applied to Failure Time Analysis

Revista Colombiana de Estadística, 2011
Existen varias versiones de la distribución lognormal en la literatura estadística y una de ellas está basada en la transformación exponencial de la distribución normal generalizada (NG).
