Toward a Biocultural Synthesis of the Peopling of the Americas: Introduction to the Special Issue. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT This article introduces the special issue Toward a Biocultural Synthesis of the Peopling of the Americas, which brings together contributions that explore the origins and diversity of Indigenous populations across North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean. The volume grew out of an invited symposium held at the 90th Annual Meeting of

Resource suitability drives low use of avian-excavated tree cavities: A multi-state occupancy dynamics approach. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Birds that nest in tree cavities are sometimes dependent on a few cavity‐excavating bird species to make nesting sites available. Such interdependency, however, does not always materialize because excavated cavities may be unsuitable for continued use, even when available for several years after excavation.

Reducing bias in density estimates for unmarked populations that exhibit reactive behaviour towards camera traps

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 3100-3111, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Density estimates guide wildlife management, and camera traps are commonly used to estimate sizes of unmarked populations. Unfortunately, animals often alter their natural behaviour in the presence of camera traps, which may bias subsequent density estimates.

A theoretical framework for upscaling species distribution models

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, Page 2888-2899, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Species distribution models (SDM) have become one of the most popular predictive tools in ecology. With the advent of new computation and remote sensing technology, high‐resolution environmental data sets are becoming more and more common predictors in these modelling efforts.

Describing posterior distributions of variance components: Problems and the use of null distributions to aid interpretation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, Page 2557-2574, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Assessing the biological relevance of variance components estimated using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)‐based mixed‐effects models is not straightforward. Variance estimates are constrained to be greater than zero and their posterior distributions are often asymmetric.

A partial least squares analysis of gender inequality, occupational segregation, and economic growth: Evidence from Sub‐Saharan Africa

Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 1299-1316, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The biggest barrier to an egalitarian Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) appears to be deeply ingrained structural obstacles and gender imbalances. The significant prevalence of gender inequities, which have both structural and economic ramifications, must be addressed if SSA is committed to achieving the Africa 2063 Agenda (the Africa we want) and ...

Comparing spatial conservation prioritization methods with site‐ versus spatial dependency‐based connectivity

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Larval dispersal is an important component of marine reserve networks. Two conceptually different approaches to incorporate dispersal connectivity into spatial planning of these networks exist, and it is an open question as to when either is most appropriate.
