Stochastic portfolio specific mortality and the quantification of mortality basis risk

open access: yes
In the last decade a vast literature on stochastic mortality models has been developed. However, these models are often not directly applicable to insurance portfolios because: (a) For insurers and pension funds it is more relevant to model mortality ...

Unveiling Gut Homeostasis Disruption in Sepsis: Towards an Integrated Mechanistic and Translational Roadmap

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Elucidating the contribution of gut‐organ axes will provide new insights for developing combined therapeutic strategies against sepsis‐associated multiple organ dysfunction. ABSTRACT Sepsis, a life‐threatening clinical syndrome precipitated by a maladaptive host response to infection, is associated with substantial morbidity and high mortality rates ...

Steep declines of colonial wading birds in northeastern North America's largest breeding population

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study analyzed 22 years of complete nest census data for colonial wading birds in New York–New Jersey Harbor, the largest breeding population in the northeastern United States. Over this period, the total wading bird population decreased by 27%, a rate exceeding average long‐term declines across North American birds.

Greater sage‐grouse dynamics are influenced by winter temperature rather than indices of grazing, drought, and breeding season weather in a northern Great Plains population

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We evaluated the impacts of grazing, climatic variability, and vegetation productivity on the population dynamics of a northern Great Plains greater sage‐grouse population. We found winter temperature influenced annual population growth rates, but did not detect influences of drought, breeding season weather, vegetation productivity or short‐term ...

Wildebeest movement responses to electric conservation fencing in the African Savannah ecosystem

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
These findings provide GPS‐based empirical evidence of how a newly constructed electric conservation fence alters migratory wildebeests, and show that effects are context‐dependent across habitat type, time of day, and distance to the boundary. While such fences can reduce human–wildlife conflict and support conservation goals, they must be carefully ...
