Organizational Genealogies and the Persistence of Gender Inequality: The Case of Silicon Valley Law Firms

TL;DR: In this paper, a study on foundings of Silicon Valley law firms was conducted to test an organizational theory on the genealogical persistence of gender inequality that emphasizes the routines and experiences that founders transfer from their parent firms to their new firms.

Maximum likelihood difference scaling.

TL;DR: A maximum likelihood difference scaling (MLDS) method for estimating its parameters and a method for testing whether the difference measurement model is appropriate as a description of human judgment of perceptual differences in any specific experimental context are described.

Estimating detection probability parameters for plethodon salamanders using the robust capture–recapture design

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Pollock's robust design in a 3-year capture-recapture study to estimate detection probability and temporary emigration for Plethodon salamanders in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Tennessee/North Carolina), USA.

Associations of Forest Cover, Fragment Area, and Connectivity with Neotropical Understory Bird Species Richness and Abundance

TL;DR: The results demonstrated a rapid loss of species at relatively high levels of forest cover (30-50%) and highly sensitive species were 3-4 times more common above the 30-50% threshold than below it; however, the results do not support a unique fragmentation threshold.
