Both density‐ and frequency‐dependent effects determine plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.We tested the hypothesis that both density‐ and frequency‐dependent interactions play important roles in determining plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem at several levels of available nitrogen. Plant growth was measured using the pin‐point method in a five‐block experiment with four nitrogen levels.

Rendering transparency to ranking in educational assessment via Bayesian comparative judgement
Review of Education, Volume 14, Issue 2, August 2026.Abstract Transparency in educational assessment has become an increasingly pressing concern, particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic, as institutions seek more equitable, robust and defensible methods of evaluating student work. Comparative judgement (CJ) has gained traction as a promising alternative to traditional rubric‐based marking. However,

Pragmatic Two‐Stage Design for Clinical Trials With Treatment Selection
Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 18-19, August 2026.ABSTRACT Clinical trials are inherently complex and become more challenging when selecting one treatment from many while also evaluating the efficacy. In this paper, we develop a pragmatic design that balances sample efficiency and practicality through a two‐stage sequential approach.

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 223, Issue 1, August 2026.We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...

Empirical Assessment of Storm‐Time Thermospheric Density Inversion Methods From LEO POD Data
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Thermospheric mass density is one of the largest sources of operational uncertainty for spacecraft in low Earth orbit, particularly during geomagnetic storms. The growing population of Global Navigation Satellite System‐equipped satellites presents a data set of opportunity: precise orbit determination (POD) data streams can be used to ...

Improving Malaria Parasite Gene Flow Inference Under Sparse Spatial Sampling
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.ABSTRACT Estimating malaria parasite migration is crucial for informing elimination strategies, particularly by identifying regions with higher parasite migration that may serve as transmission sources and intervention targets. Methods that infer spatial variations in gene flow from georeferenced genetic data, including Estimated Effective Migration ...
