Testing threats in repeated games [PDF]
, 2005 Under most game-theoretic solution concepts, equilibrium beliefs are justified by off-equilibrium events. I propose an equilibrium concept for infinitely repeated games, called "Nash Equilibrium with Tests" (NEWT), according to which players can only ...

Identification of the orphan gene Prod 1 in basal and other salamander families. [PDF]
, 2015 The urodele amphibians (salamanders) are the only adult tetrapods able to regenerate the limb. It is unclear if this is an ancestral property that is retained in salamanders but lost in other tetrapods or if it evolved in salamanders.

The Legislation for Providing Animal Access in Australian Residential Aged Care: It's Not a Zoo
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Providing meaningful animal contact to residential aged care facility (RACF) residents is problematic due to a lack of animal policies and National Guidelines. This paper examines how Australian Legislation could influence access to animal contact in RACFs and aims to answer the question, ‘Could current Legislation facilitate the development ...

Density Mediates the Predator-Induced Growth and Metamorphic Plasticity of Chinhai Spiny Newt Larvae
AnimalsPredators significantly influence amphibian larval development. Predator-induced plasticity is often studied independently from conspecific density effects, but these environmental factors may interact.

Tropical Theta Functions and Log Calabi-Yau Surfaces [PDF]
, 2016 We generalize the standard combinatorial techniques of toric geometry to the study of log Calabi-Yau surfaces. The character and cocharacter lattices are replaced by certain integral linear manifolds described by Gross, Hacking, and Keel, and monomials ...

Realising Aboriginal Community Controlled Approaches to Child Reunification
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reunification rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) in Australia are critically low, even though reunification is the preferred permanency outcome for children following removal, and despite a range of mechanisms and strategies ostensibly to support effective reunification. To better understand the

Facilitating permeability of landscapes impacted by roads for protected amphibians: patterns of movement for the great crested newt [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Amphibian populations are highly vulnerable to road mortality and habitat fragmentation caused by road networks. Wildlife road tunnels are considered the most promising road mitigation measure for amphibians yet generally remain inadequately monitored ...

Can We Share? Feeding Strategy in Three Syntopic Newts in Artificial Habitats
Diversity, 2021 Natural aquatic sites are disappearing worldwide, especially in the Mediterranean region where amphibians are frequently forced to move for reproduction to artificial sites designed for irrigation and cattle watering (i.e., wells, tanks and drinking ...

Ferromagnetic material in the eastern red-spotted newt notophthalmus viridescens [PDF]
, 1999 Behavioral results obtained from the eastern red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) led to the suggestion of a hybrid homing system involving inputs from both a light-dependent and a non-light-dependent mechanism. To evaluate the possible role of a
