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

Inversion of $3\times 3$ partitioned matrices in investigation of the twoepoch linear model with the nuisance parameters [PDF]

, 2006
summary:The estimation procedures in the multiepoch (and specially twoepoch) linear regression models with the nuisance parameters that were described in [2], Chapter 9, frequently need finding the inverse of a $3 \times 3$ partitioned matrix.

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

Bayesian Active Learning in the Presence of Nuisance Parameters

In many settings, such as scientific inference, optimization, and transfer learning, the learner has a well-defined objective, which can be treated as estimation of a target parameter, and no intrinsic interest in characterizing the entire data ...

Consumption of anthropogenic foods influences the nutritional and reproductive condition of hunter‐harvested black bears

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The consumption of human food subsidies influences ecological processes, and can affect individual behavior and fitness with population level changes in abundance and distribution. American black bears Ursus americanus often consume human food subsidies, which have been correlated with increased bear body size, age‐specific fertility and mortality ...

Tales of Cyberspace and Artificial Intelligence: Diverging Stakeholderships?

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article traces the evolution of the Internet from the 1990s to the 2020s and compares it with the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly following the public launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. It identifies both parallels and divergencies between these two overlapping technological domains, focusing on the growing ...

Constraint on Lorentz invariance violation for spectral lag transition in GRB 160625B using profile likelihood

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
We reanalyze the spectral lag data for GRB 160625B using frequentist inference in order to constrain the energy scale $$(E_{QG})$$ ( E QG ) of Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV).

A continuous‐time random encounter and staying time (REST) model: Moving beyond temporal aggregation in camera‐trap density estimation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating wildlife population density is fundamental to ecology and conservation. While camera traps have revolutionized the monitoring of medium‐ to large‐sized mammals, estimating the density of unmarked populations remains a major challenge. Current models rely on a critical and often‐violated synchronized activity assumption.

IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.
