An efficient Bayesian phylogenetic approach for joint inference of continuous and discrete trait evolution under a state‐dependent Ornstein–Uhlenbeck model

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Macroevolutionary adaptation of a continuous trait to different discrete states across species can be modelled using a phylogenetic state‐dependent Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process. Existing inference methods face two challenges. First, although efficient likelihood algorithms for continuous trait evolution models exist, none have been ...

Monetary Policy, Investor Sentiment and Stock Price Bubble: Evidence From China

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The empirical results indicate that an increase in interest rates may stimulate a significant and persistent stock price bubble, which is consistent with rational asset price bubble theory. This finding suggests that central banks should implement anti‐turbulent monetary policy with caution, since inappropriate tightening may unintentionally ...

Nest Survival Models and Genomics Illuminate Hybridisation Attempts, Guiding Culturally Informed Management to Recover a Critically Endangered Seabird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

Applications of MCMC methods on function spaces [PDF]

In the course of this thesis, several different applications of data assimilation will\ud be looked at. In each case, a rigorous mathematical framework will be constructed,\ud in a Bayesian context, to enable the use of various types of data to infer on various\ud infinite dimensional parameters of the system that has been observed.

Genotyping Contemporary Captive and Historical Wild Western Lowland Gorillas Indicates Captive Breeding Is Maintaining Genetic Diversity in a Critically Endangered Primate

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.
