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:

Modelling occurrence and abundance of species when detection is imperfect
TL;DR: This paper provides an application of models that enable estimation of abundance/occupancy relationships from counts of organisms that result from surveys in which detection is imperfect to geographically extensive breeding bird survey data in which alternative models of abundance are considered that include factors that influence variation in abundance and detectability.

Estimating relative energetic costs of human disturbance to killer whales (Orcinus orca)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the activities of "northern resident" orca (Orcinus orca) in Johnstone Strait, British Columbia, Canada, from 1995 to 2002.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic brain networks in neurodegenerative disorders: a functional imaging approach
TL;DR: In Parkinson's disease, spatial covariance analysis of resting-state metabolic images has identified specific regional patterns associated with motor and cognitive symptoms and these networks have been particularly helpful in uncovering compensatory mechanisms in genetically at-risk individuals.

The development of numerical estimation: evidence against a representational shift
Hilary Barth,Annie Paladino +1 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates that proportion-judgment models provide a unified account of estimation patterns that have previously been explained in terms of a developmental shift from logarithmic to linear representations of number.

TL;DR: A 3-month ensemble forecast is generated that provides quantitative estimates of the local transmission of Ebola virus disease in West Africa and the probability of international spread if the containment measures are not successful at curtailing the outbreak.
