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

Are Any Growth Theories Robust
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the strength of empirical evidence for various growth theories when there is model uncertainty with respect to the correct growth model and conclude that the ability of cross-country growth regressions to adjudicate the relative importance of alternative growth theories is limited.

Statistical approaches in landscape genetics: an evaluation of methods for linking landscape and genetic data
TL;DR: Results suggest that some of the most commonly applied techniques in landscape genetics have high type-1 error rates, and that multivariate, non-linear methods are better suited for landscape genetic data analysis.

Parental catastrophizing about their child's pain. The parent version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS-P): a preliminary validation.
TL;DR: In the clinical sample, parents’ catastrophic thinking about their child’s pain had a significant contribution in explaining (a) childhood illness‐related parenting stress, parental depression and anxiety, and (b) the child”s disability and school attendance, beyond the child's pain intensity.

TL;DR: This study surveyed the diversity of CoVs in multiple host taxa from twenty countries to explore the factors driving viral diversity at a global scale and identified sequences representing 100 discrete phylogenetic clusters found in bats, and used ecological and epidemiologic analyses to show that patterns of CoV diversity correlate with those of bat diversity.

Nested radiations and the pulse of angiosperm diversification: increased diversification rates often follow whole genome duplications

TL;DR: Across angiosperms, nested shifts in diversification led to an overall increasing rate of net diversification and declining relative extinction rates through time, and it is suggested that stochastically changing diversification rates across the phylogeny explain these patterns.
