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

Marine reserves as linked social–ecological systems
Richard B. Pollnac,Patrick Christie,Joshua E. Cinner,Tracey Dalton,Tim M. Daw,Graham E. Forrester,Nicholas A. J. Graham,Tim R. McClanahan +7 more
TL;DR: A heuristic model based on correlations between social, cultural, political, economic, and other contextual conditions in 127 marine reserves showed that high levels of compliance with reserve rules were related to complex social interactions rather than simply to enforcement of reserve rules.

A global meta-analysis on the ecological drivers of forest restoration success
Renato Crouzeilles,Renato Crouzeilles,Renato Crouzeilles,Michael Curran,Mariana Simões Larraz Ferreira,David B. Lindenmayer,Carlos E. V. Grelle,José María Rey Benayas +7 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis encompassing 221 study landscapes worldwide reveals forest restoration enhances biodiversity by 15–84% and vegetation structure by 36–77%, compared with degraded ecosystems.

Co-occurrence of integrase 1, antibiotic and heavy metal resistance genes in municipal wastewater treatment plants.
Andrea Di Cesare,Ester M. Eckert,Silvia D'Urso,Roberto Bertoni,David Gillan,Ruddy Wattiez,Gianluca Corno +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest a potentially crucial role of HMRGs in the spread, mediated by mobile elements, of some ARGs, i.e. sulII and heavy metal resistance genes (HMRGs) and of a mobile element (the class I integron) in three WWTPs.

Does interference competition with wolves limit the distribution and abundance of coyotes
Kim Murray Berger,Eric M. Gese +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that coyote abundance is limited by competition with wolves is supported, and it is suggested that differential effects on survival and dispersal rates of transient coyotes are important mechanisms by which wolves reduce coyote densities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potent protection against H5N1 and H7N9 influenza via childhood hemagglutinin imprinting.
TL;DR: Using data from all known human cases of these viruses, it is shown that an individual’s first IAV infection confers lifelong protection against severe disease from novel hemagglutinin (HA) subtypes in the same phylogenetic group, and statistical modeling shows that protective HA imprinting is the crucial explanatory factor.
