A Robust and Versatile Mating Function for Two-Sex Population Projection Models Fitting all Types of Mating Systems. [PDF]
Ecol LettCommonly used two‐sex discrete‐time population projection models rely on mating functions developed for continuous‐time frameworks that overestimate the number of unions between reproductive individuals. We propose a novel mating function that is robust by obeying all properties necessary to be ecologically valid and flexible by accommodating all ...

Informing aerial total counts with demographic models: population growth of Serengeti elephants not explained purely by demography [PDF]
, 2017 Conservation management is strongly shaped by the interpretation of population trends. In the Serengeti ecosystem, Tanzania, aerial total counts indicate a striking increase in elephant abundance compared to all previous censuses.

A 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the bovid distal humerus, with special reference to Rusingoryx atopocranion (Pleistocene, Eastern Africa). [PDF]
J AnatWe use 3D geometric morphometrics to investigate the functional morphology of the distal humerus in extant bovids, finding that habitat preference, body mass and tribe affiliation have identifiable morphological signals. We then use these results to interpret the ecology of the extinct alcelaphine bovid Rusingoryx atopocranion and the implications of ...
