Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

No trends in spring and autumn phenology during the global warming hiatus

Nature Communications, 2019
A global warming hiatus occurred during 1998 and 2012 but its effects on phenology are unclear. Here the authors examine the trends in spring and autumn phenology in the northern hemisphere and the effects of the warming hiatus and show that phenology ...

A Quantitative Approach for Assessing and Monitoring the Social Licence of Forestry to Operate: A New Zealand Case Study

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social Licence to Operate (SLO) is an increasingly strategic concern in forestry, yet its evaluation remains largely qualitative. This study presents the first quantitative framework for assessing SLO in New Zealand's forestry sector, adapted from the Boutilier and Thomson model, originally developed for the mining sector.

Dynamic survival risk prediction with time‐varying high‐dimensional images

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Integrating longitudinal data with survival models is a prevalent strategy for dynamic survival risk prediction while accounting for subjects' longitudinally observed variables. However, existing methods primarily focus on scalar longitudinal data and seldom tackle the complexities associated with high‐dimensional longitudinal imaging data ...

Phase‐Locked Rossby Wave‐4 Pattern Dominates the 2022‐Like Concurrent Heat Extremes Across the Northern Hemisphere

Geophysical Research Letters
Concurrent heat extremes (CHEs) are becoming increasingly common in the mid‐high latitudes across the Northern Hemisphere (NH), underscoring the need to comprehend their spatiotemporal characteristics and underlying causes. Here we reveal a phase‐locking
