Predators and scavengers: Polar bears as marine carrion providers
Oikos, EarlyView.Scavenging is a foraging strategy widely used across the animal kingdom and apex predators provide a large amount of energy in a food web by provisioning carrion. In the harsh environmental conditions of the Arctic, apex predators such as polar bears Ursus maritimus can provide scavenging opportunities for many species. Carrion can act as a buffer when

Generalized Stirling and Lah numbers
Discrete Mathematics, 1996 The author develops three generalizations of Stirling numbers of the second kind, \(S(n,k)\), and of Lah numbers, within the theory of modular binomial lattices [\textit{P. Doubilet}, \textit{G.-C. Rota} and \textit{R. Stanley}, Proc. 6th Berkeley Sympos. Math. Statist. Probab., Univ. Calif.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation performance payments are becoming an increasingly popular instrument to tackle human–wildlife conflicts. In Sweden, Sámi communities practicing reindeer husbandry receive performance payments as compensation for reindeer losses caused by lynxes and wolverines.

Tree planting, natural colonisation, hybrid approaches: Land manager decisions explored
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract There is a global drive to protect biodiversity and help combat climate change. In the UK, this is expressed in a number of policy initiatives and tools that include increasing tree cover as an important nature‐based solution to achieving national policy targets.

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

On the maximum of r-Stirling numbers
Advances in Applied Mathematics, 2008 AbstractDetermining the location of the maximum of Stirling numbers is a well-developed area. In this paper we give the same results for the so-called r-Stirling numbers which are natural generalizations of Stirling numbers.

How sensitive are Sahelian mesoscale convective systems to cold‐pool suppression?
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Cold pools are a ubiquitous feature of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) with important upscale impacts on West African climate, but their role in the maintenance of tropical MCSs remains debated. Using a 40‐day model with explicit convection and no rainfall evaporation, we show that cold pools do not play a primary role in Sahel MCS development or ...
