The Biased Interaction Game: A System Theoretic Approach to the Emergence of Inequality, Hierarchy, and the Implications for the Likelihood of Cooperation

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emergence of cooperation in natural selection has been successfully studied using game theory and, despite the underlying selfish nature of the evolutionary process, a spectrum of plausible mechanisms have been proposed to determine the conditions under which cooperative behaviour is likely to occur.

Optimal Control of Locusts in Subsistence Farming Areas [PDF]

Locust swarms hit subsistence-staple-crop-growing households at random and are not privately controllable. A regional aerial-spraying scheme that supports these households’ livelihood at the least cost is proposed.

Utility functions, future consumption targets and subsistence thresholds [PDF]

If the consumers risk aversion behavior varies intertemporally and if the risk aversion coefficient on future consumption becomes very large, the consumer tends to aim at a fixed future consumption target.

Modelling the surprising recolonisation of an understudied aquatic mammal in a highly urbanised area: fortune favoured the smooth‐coated otter in Singapore

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Ever‐growing human activities present an active and continuing threat to many species throughout the world. Nevertheless, concerted conservation efforts in some regions have balanced these threats and allowed endangered species to recolonise former parts of their original ranges and reverse their decline.

A comparison of thermal drones and camera trap population estimates for Sitka black‐tailed deer in Alaska

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a popular tool for population estimation. They have limitations, however, including long data processing times.
