A covariate‐augmented mixed gamma‐exponential time‐to‐detection occupancy model
Abstract Occupancy models traditionally use repeated detection/non‐detection data to estimate the probability that a species occupies a site when detection is imperfect. Time‐to‐detection (TTD) data provide an alternative source of information on detectability, and the mixed gamma–exponential model with a shared‐detectability parameter (MGEc ...

Backdrop to encounter : the 1770 landscape of Botany Bay, the plants collected by Banks and Solander and rehabilitation of natural vegetation at Kurnell [PDF]
The first scientific observations on the flora of eastern Australia were made at Botany Bay in April–May 1770. We discuss the landscapes of Botany Bay and particularly of the historic landing place at Kurnell (lat 34˚ 00’ S, long 151˚ 13’ E) (about 16 km

Increasing proportion of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and emergence of a MCR-1 producer through a multicentric study among hospital-based and private laboratories in Belgium from September to November 2015 [PDF]
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) strains have been increasingly reported in Belgium. We aimed to determine the proportion of CPE among Enterobacteriaceae isolated from hospitalised patients and community outpatients in Belgium in 2015 ...

ABSTRACT Aim Protecting phylogenetic diversity (PD) has been advocated as a basis for spatial conservation planning. However, phylogenetic branch lengths can vary substantially depending on methodological choices made during the inference of phylogeny and divergence times, and little is known about the sensitivity of spatial patterns of PD to these ...

Guidelines to identify and quantify biodiversity co‐benefits of carbon plantings
Carbon plantings play a key role in climate change mitigation and can deliver significant biodiversity co‐benefits when designed to reflect local ecosystems using diverse native species. Although interest in biodiversity co‐benefits is growing due to emerging markets, policies and Nature Positive goals, practitioners face uncertainty because ...
