Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...

Residual diagnostics for assessing closed population capture–recapture models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Capture–recapture models provide a statistical framework for estimating demographic parameters from incomplete observation data, where not all individuals in a population are detected during sampling. Assessing the fit of such models is crucial for reliable inference.

Inference on state occupancy in covariate‐driven hidden Markov models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are natural and popular tools for analysing animal behaviour based on movement, acceleration and other sensor data. In particular, these models make it possible to infer how the animal's decision‐making process interacts with internal and external drivers by relating the probabilities of switching between distinct ...

Why did Putin invade Ukraine? A theory of degenerate autocracy
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Many dictatorships end up with a series of disastrous decisions such as Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union or Saddam Hussein's aggression against Kuwait. Even if a certain policy choice is not ultimately fatal for the regime, such as Mao's Big Leap Forward or the Pol Pot's collectivization drive, they typically involve both a miscalculation ...

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A common assumption is that firms become more socially responsible over time. Indeed, numerous conceptual papers focus on the issue of describing the CSR states that firms advance through. Yet, related empirical research remains limited and the assumption of steady progression across CSR states remains untested.

British Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.Abstract As students learn and practice new skills in university courses, their behaviour can change in response to competing demands and increasing content complexity. However, most metrics used to evaluate study behaviour focus on the number or sequence of activities rather than on the change of behaviour.

Step2Motion: Locomotion Reconstruction from Pressure Sensing Insoles
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Human motion is fundamentally driven by continuous physical interaction with the environment. Whether walking, running, or simply standing, the forces exchanged between our feet and the ground provide crucial insights for understanding and reconstructing human movement. Recent advances in wearable insole devices offer a compelling solution for

Medical Knowledge Integration Into Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for Dynamic Treatment Regimes
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary The goal of precision medicine is to provide individualised treatment at each stage of chronic diseases, a concept formalised by dynamic treatment regimes (DTR). These regimes adapt treatment strategies based on decision rules learned from clinical data to enhance therapeutic effectiveness.

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent theoretical work shows that the potential of genetic selection to reduce the prevalence of infectious diseases is much larger than expected from classical quantitative genetic theory, due to indirect genetic effects that arise in the transmission process. However, to fully benefit from these indirect effects, we need to estimate genetic

A Unified Approach to Estimating Production Functions: Proxy Variables and Dynamic Panel Data
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a new approach to production function estimation that integrates the strengths of the proxy‐variable (PV) and dynamic panel data (DPD) methods. Our framework augments the set of instruments for the level equation in Blundell and Bond [8] with a Berkson‐type instrument motivated by economic theory, following Olley and Pakes [28 ...
