Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.

A Higher-Order Language for Markov Kernels and Linear Operators
, 2023 AbstractMuch work has been done to give semantics to probabilistic programming languages. In recent years, most of the semantics used to reason about probabilistic programs fall in two categories: semantics based on Markov kernels and semantics based on linear operators.Both styles of semantics have found numerous applications in reasoning about ...

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.We present a three‐stage training framework combining Behaviour Cloning warm‐starting with auxiliary‐regularised Deep Reinforcement Learning PPO fine‐tuning for 2D drone waypoint navigation under stochastic wind. Persistent imitation regularisation prevents catastrophic forgetting, achieving robust generalisation to unseen targets and out‐of ...

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.Abstract We estimate the price impact of very nearby concurrently listed properties in the Sydney housing market and assess their competition effects. We apply a hedonic model with spatiotemporal effects regularized via a graph Laplacian prior at the month‐by‐SA2 regional level to seven SA4 subregions of metropolitan Sydney. The model structure enables

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Skeletal age estimation is crucial to medicolegal work, aiding subadult identification, and living age assessments in legal contexts. This study aims to document the ontogeny of knee skeletal indicators on post‐mortem computed tomography (PMCT), and quantify interpopulation variation between modern American and Australian children.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...
