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).Abstract:
Introduction * Information and Likelihood Theory: A Basis for Model Selection and Inference * Basic Use of the Information-Theoretic Approach * Formal Inference From More Than One Model: Multi-Model Inference (MMI) * Monte Carlo Insights and Extended Examples * Statistical Theory and Numerical Results * Summaryread more

Space versus phylogeny: disentangling phylogenetic and spatial signals in comparative data
Robert P. Freckleton,Walter Jetz +1 more
TL;DR: A method that estimates the relative roles of spatial and phylogenetic variations in comparative data within a single framework and in its simplest form estimates a single parameter that quantifies the relative effects of space and phylogeny is introduced.

Patterns of crop damage by wild boar (Sus scrofa) in Luxembourg over a 10-year period
TL;DR: Analysis of data relating to wild boar damage to agricultural crops in Luxembourg suggests that measures for preventing or reducing damage should be more targeted in time and space and that adjustments to cropping patterns should contribute towards a reduction of wild Boar damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
A unified approach to model selection using the likelihood ratio test
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the likelihood ratio test (LRT) for comparing both nested and non-nested models in ecological count data, and demonstrated the practical application of the LRT to both NN and NN model comparisons.

Pathogens, pests, and economics: drivers of honey bee colony declines and losses.
Kristine M. Smith,Elizabeth H. Loh,Melinda K. Rostal,Carlos Zambrana-Torrelio,Luciana Mendiola,Peter Daszak +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, while other causal hypotheses have received substantial interest, the role of pests, pathogens, and management issues requires increased attention.

Global warming and positive fitness response in mountain populations of common lizards Lacerta vivipara
TL;DR: Using long-term data on common lizards collected in southern France, it is shown that individual body size dramatically increased in all the four populations studied over the past 18 years, and it might be concluded that the common lizard has been advantaged by the shift in temperature.
