Impact of tail loss on the behaviour and locomotor performance of two sympatric Lampropholis skink species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Caudal autotomy is an anti-predator behaviour that is used by many lizard species. Although there is an immediate survival benefit, the subsequent absence of the tail may inhibit locomotor performance, alter activity and habitat use, and increase the ...

Tail risk adjusted clean energy portfolios in P2P transactive markets using Rachev ratio
Energy Conversion and Economics, 2023 Renewable energy sources (RES) and electric vehicles (EVs) pose ‘energy‐risk’ in peer energy commitments due to their temporal and spatial uncertainties. Thus, optimistic commitments in the peer‐to‐peer transactive energy market (P2P TEM) are improbable.
