Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

Large-sample-size assessment of socioeconomic predictors of community-level resource management occurrence. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Community‐level resource management efforts are cornerstones in ensuring sustainable use of natural resources. Yet, understanding how community characteristics influence management practices remains contested. With a sample size of ≥725 communities, we assessed the effects of key community (i.e., socioeconomic) characteristics (human ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract To evaluate conservation interventions, it is necessary to obtain reliable population trends for short (<10 years) time scales. Telemetry can be used to estimate short‐term survival rates and is a common tool for assessing population trends, but it has limitations and can be biased toward specific behavioral traits of tagged individuals ...

Computing f‐divergences and distances of high‐dimensional probability density functions
Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications, Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Very often, in the course of uncertainty quantification tasks or data analysis, one has to deal with high‐dimensional random variables. Here the interest is mainly to compute characterizations like the entropy, the Kullback–Leibler divergence, more general f$$ f $$‐divergences, or other such characteristics based on the probability density ...

Parameter Estimation for Dynamical Systems Using a Deep Neural Network
Applied Computational Intelligence and Soft Computing, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 The deep neural network (DNN) was applied for estimating a set of unknown parameters of a dynamical system whose measured data are given for a set of discrete time points. We developed a new vectorized algorithm that takes the number of unknowns (state variables) and number of parameters into consideration.

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1575-1585, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Wet grassland populations of wading birds in the United Kingdom have declined severely since 1990. To help mitigate these declines, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has restored and managed lowland wet grassland nature reserves to benefit these and other species.

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 293-302, August 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT Objectives Preterm birth (PTB) accounts for two‐thirds of deaths of structurally normal babies and is associated with substantial lifetime healthcare costs. Prevention of PTB remains limited by the modest accuracy of prediction methods, namely transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) cervical length (CL) measurement and quantitative cervicovaginal fetal ...

Studying human–nature relationships through a network lens: A systematic review
People and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 1100-1116, December 2020., 2020 Abstract Understanding the complex interlinkages between humans and nature is crucial for developing strategies to effectively manage natural resources and to enhance resilience of social–ecological systems (SES). Network analysis bears great potential to advance such comprehension of SESs because it allows for identifying and analysing direct and ...
