TLDR
The second edition of this book is unique in that it focuses on methods for making formal statistical inference from all the models in an a priori set (Multi-Model Inference).

Methods to quantify variable importance: implications for the analysis of noisy ecological data.

TL;DR: Using zero-order correlations to eliminate predictor variables with correlations near zero, followed by the use of independent effects to assign overlap areas and rank variable importance is recommended.

Over-winter lipid depletion and mortality of age-0 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

TL;DR: The size-dependent risk of winter starvation mortality as a strong selective pressure on age-0 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) that could promote the risk-taking behaviour and allocation of energy to lipids previously observed in young trout cohorts is identified.

Prey density, environmental productivity and home-range size in the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx)

TL;DR: Sex emerged as a significant explanatory variable with males having larger home ranges than females and the size of male home-ranges increased faster with decreasing prey density than for females, which supports widely held predictions that variation in home-range size is due to variation in prey density.

Structure-function relationship and diagnostic value of macular ganglion cell complex measurement using Fourier-domain OCT in glaucoma

TL;DR: A curvilinear function best described the relationship between VF sensitivity and GCC thickness, and Macular GCC thickness and RNFL thickness showed similar diagnostic performance for detecting early, moderate, and severe glaucoma.

Ecosystem restoration strengthens pollination network resilience and function

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that network structure is a suitable indicator for pollination quality, highlighting the usefulness of interaction networks in environmental management and suggesting that the degradation of ecosystem functions is at least partially reversible.
