Different demographic drivers of recovery in two adjacent populations of a long‐lived bird of prey

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the demographic mechanisms underlying population decline or recovery is critical for conservation and management, yet similar population trends may arise from very different underlying processes. Comparing populations of vulnerable species groups like long‐lived raptors in different environments can reveal how species respond to change ...

Asymptotic Efficiency of Estimates for Models with Incidental Nuisance Parameters [PDF]

, 1995
In this paper we show that the well­known asymptotic efficiency bounds for full mixture models remain valid if individual sequences of nuisance parameters are considered.

Private to Public: Deterrent Effects of Bans on Confidential Settlements

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nondisclosure agreements are common in the settlement of legal disputes but are controversial as they suppress information that could prevent harm to others. But until the 2017 #MeToo movement, there had been little legislative effort to prohibit the practice in any context, and consequently no evidence on whether public disclosure of harms ...

Local Eviction Moratoria and the Spread of COVID‐19

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT At different stages during the initial onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic, various US states and local municipalities enacted eviction moratoria. One of the main aims of these moratoria was to slow the spread of COVID‐19 infections. We deploy a semiparametric difference‐in‐differences approach with an event study specification to examine whether ...

Home range and core area characteristics of urban and rural coyotes and red foxes in southern Wisconsin

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Second‐order habitat selection is influenced by a variety of factors, including individual‐ and species‐specific traits and resource requirements, as well as landscape characteristics. By comparing home range characteristics across individuals, species, and landscapes, we can draw conclusions regarding whether and how different factors influence home ...

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

Bayesian inference: more than Bayes’s theorem

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Bayesian inference gets its name from Bayes’s theorem, expressing posterior probabilities for hypotheses about a data generating process as the (normalized) product of prior probabilities and a likelihood function.

Tests regarding parameters of several independent gamma populations [PDF]

Gamma distribution has been used with considerable success in reliability studies and life testing experiments. This distribution assumes various forms as its shape parameter varies which makes it suitable for analyzing a variety of lifetime data.

New to town: home range size, habitat selection and behavioral adaptations by urban hares

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
European hares Lepus europaeus have recently been shown to colonize urban areas in different parts of Europe. This appears to be a novel phenomenon, and little is known about the space use and behavioral adaptations of hares living in urban areas. Here, we describe the first findings concerning home range sizes from GPS‐collared hares (n = 3) in Aarhus
