Propensity score analysis with partially observed confounders: how should multiple imputation be used? [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) is a popular propensity score (PS)-based approach to estimate causal effects in observational studies at risk of confounding bias. A major issue when estimating the PS is the presence of partially observed covariates.

An Overview of Microfluidic‐Assisted Strategies for Synthesis and Applications of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers

open access: yesAnalysis &Sensing, EarlyView.
Sensor design increasingly focusses on miniaturized systems deployed directly at the point of need. For this purpose, microfluidics ensures low‐cost systems that can handle small sample volumes and molecularly imprinted polymers provide rugged, cost‐effective recognition.

“Even Though We Have Different Colors, We Are All Equal Here”: Immigrants building a sense of community and wellbeing through sport participation

open access: yesJournal of Community Psychology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 201-218, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Although there are several studies reporting the beneficial role of sports in immigrant health, more research is needed to understand whether and how these activities can guide the psychological sense of community (SOC) and well‐being outcomes.

High‐throughput behavioral phenotyping of tiny arthropods: Chemosensory traits in a mesostigmatic hematophagous mite

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 339, Issue 1, Page 46-62, January 1, 2023., 2023
We validated a new high‐throughput system based on nanocomputers connected to cameras automatically tracking movements of single mites. Our results confirm the existence of a volatile pheromone deposited by D. gallinae and attractive to conspecifics.

Looking to the past to inform the future: What eDNA from herbarium specimens can tell us about plant–animal interactions

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The importance of natural history collections in modern ecological and genetic research cannot be overstated. Herbarium specimens provide historical information that can be used to investigate community ecology, phenology, and population genetics. In this study, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding and next‐generation sequencing were

Meta‐analysis of management effects on biodiversity in plantation and secondary forests of Japan

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView., 2019
Conservation of temperate forest biodiversity has historically focused on natural old‐growth. Less than 3% of the world's temperate forests remain unmodified by humans, however, and much of temperate‐forest biodiversity is held in the predominating planted and secondary forests.
