Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Savanna soil carbon accrual occurs through particulate organic matter from grass rather than tree biomass, regardless of atmospheric CO2 levels

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Afforestation schemes in savannas are increasingly promoted as a carbon storage strategy despite threats to biodiversity. We also lack a clear understanding of how trees and grasses differentially contribute to the major carbon store in savannas, that is, soil organic ...

A simple and efficient method for sampling mixture models based on Dirichlet and Pitman-Yor processes

Computational Statistics
Abstract We introduce a simple and efficient sampling strategy for the Dirichlet process mixture model (DPM) and its two-parameter extension, the Poisson-Dirichlet process mixture model, also known as the Pitman-Yor process mixture model (PYM).

Gender‐Sensitive Resilience in Kyrgyz Households: Latent Profile and Cross‐Lagged Dynamic Panel Approaches

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resilience is still conceptualised as gender‐neutral in research and policy discussions. However, a gendered resilience framework suggests that gender roles and intra‐household dynamics are intricately linked with household resilience. This manuscript aims to analyse the effect of gender role attitudes on climate change resilience.

The End of Self‐Regulation: Will the Football Governance Act 2025 Fix the National Game?

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
The Football Governance Act 2025 is a watershed. It upends the model of self‐regulation that has defined how the game has been run in England and Wales for over a century‐and‐a‐half. The newly created Independent Football Regulator will exercise control over clubs, owners, and competition organisers.

Empirical interpretation of the Pitman efficiency

We study an empirical interpretation of the Pitman efficiency in testing for uniformity in the two-parametric family of the beta distributions. We show that for contamination models the Pitman efficiency approximates relative efficiency very well.

School Board Elections in England and Wales, 1870–1902: An Electoral Experiment?

History, EarlyView.
Abstract The 1870 Elementary Education Act enabled the creation of school boards in England and Wales. Members were directly elected by the cumulative vote. This method gave each individual voter as many votes as there were seats on a school board, in some cases up to fifteen.
