Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

On the Stability of Macroeconomic Relationships in Australia
Australian Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, we analyse whether two key macroeconomic relationships in Australia—Okun's law and the Phillips curve—have been stable over time. This is done by estimating hybrid time‐varying parameter Bayesian VAR models using quarterly data from 1978 to 2024.

A Mixed Frequency BVAR for the Australian Economy*
Economic Record, EarlyView.A mixed frequency vector autoregression (MFVAR) model is proposed for nowcasting, forecasting and backcasting Australian macroeconomic indicators at monthly and quarterly frequencies. A novel augmented Minnesota prior for MFVAR models is also introduced.

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This research investigates the joint environmental impacts of natural resource rents and FinTech in oil‐rich economies. It addresses the carbon curse hypothesis and argues that the integration of FinTech can be a transformative force, improving energy and carbon intensities in these countries.

The importance of considering regimes in long‐term asset allocation to real estate
Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.Abstract We investigate the long‐term, regime‐dependent asset allocation of an investor's wealth in a mixed‐asset portfolio that includes publicly traded real estate. We show that augmenting standard VAR models with Markov‐switching features not only improves predictive power for asset returns but also introduces economically meaningful horizon effects

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Confidence intervals for extinction risk: Validating population viability analysis with limited data
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract The assessment of extinction risk remains a key component of IUCN and CITES evaluations. However, it has been argued that, under realistic data limitations, confidence intervals (CIs) for extinction probability often span the entire 0–1 range, rendering such assessments meaningless.

Trait coevolution and causal inference using generalized dynamic phylogenetic models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods are widely used to study trait coevolution across biological and cultural domains. The most common methods are phylogenetic generalized linear (mixed) models, phylogenetic path analysis, Pagel's ‘discrete’ method and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models. While some frameworks like generalized linear mixed models are quite

Beyond the next step: A multi‐criteria generative validation framework for step selection functions
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Step‐selection functions (SSFs), typically fitted using step‐selection analysis (SSA) or integrated step‐selection analysis (iSSA) are widely used to infer habitat selection and movement kernels from high‐frequency telemetry data, but most standard validation tools focus on one‐step‐ahead prediction and do not guarantee that fitted models ...
