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

Body size and dispersal mode as key traits determining metacommunity structure of aquatic organisms
T. De Bie,L. De Meester,Luc Brendonck,Koen Martens,Koen Martens,Boudewijn Goddeeris,Dirk Ercken,H. Hampel,Luc Denys,L Vanhecke,K Van der Gucht,J Van Wichelen,Wim Vyverman,Steven Declerck +13 more
TL;DR: The results reveal that body size and dispersal mode are important drivers of metacommunity structure and these traits should therefore be considered when developing a predictive framework for metacomunity dynamics.

TL;DR: A comprehensive database of economic costs of invasive insects is compiled, finding that invasive insects cost a minimum of US$70.0 billion per year globally, while associated health costs exceed US$6.9bn per year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of grazing on grassland soil carbon: a global review
TL;DR: Grazer effects on SOC are highly context-specific and imply that grazers in different regions might be managed differently to help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, according to a multifactorial meta-analysis.

Effect of immunodeficiency, HIV viral load, and antiretroviral therapy on the risk of individual malignancies (FHDH-ANRS CO4): a prospective cohort study
Marguerite Guiguet,François Boué,Jacques Cadranel,Jean-Marie Lang,Eric Rosenthal,Dominique Costagliola +5 more
TL;DR: CD4 cell count was the most predictive risk factor for all malignancies apart from anal cancer and cART would be most beneficial if it restores or maintains CD4 count above 500 cells per microL, thereby indicating an earlier diagnosis of HIV infection and an earlier treatment initiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond the fragmentation threshold hypothesis: regime shifts in biodiversity across fragmented landscapes.
TL;DR: In this article, a new conceptual model was proposed to describe the mechanisms and consequences of biodiversity change in fragmented landscapes, identifying the fragmentation threshold as a first step in a positive feedback mechanism that has the capacity to impair ecological resilience, and drive a regime shift in biodiversity.
