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

TL;DR: A significant relationship is found between interspecific variation in population trend and the change in potential range extent between the late 20th and late 21st centuries, forecasted by climatic envelope models.

Quantifying the influence of sociality on population structure in bottlenose dolphins.

TL;DR: This work applies recently developed analytical techniques to the population of bottlenose dolphins residing along the Scottish east coast, to detect the presence of communities within this population and infer its social structure from the temporal variation in association patterns between individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ontogeny of prosocial behavior across diverse societies
Bailey R. House,Joan B. Silk,Joseph Henrich,H. Clark Barrett,Brooke A. Scelza,Adam H. Boyette,Barry S. Hewlett,Richard McElreath,Stephen Laurence +8 more
TL;DR: The ontogeny of prosocial behavior is examined by studying 326 children 3–14 y of age and 120 adults from six societies, including foragers, herders, horticulturalists, and urban dwellers across the Americas, Oceania, and Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of sample size, data type and prediction method for remote sensing-based estimations of aboveground forest biomass
Fabian Ewald Fassnacht,Fabian Ewald Fassnacht,Florian Hartig,Hooman Latifi,Christian Berger,Jaime Hernández,Patricio Corvalán,Barbara Koch +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the predictor data (sensor) type is the most important factor for the accu- racy of biomass estimates, with LiDAR being preferable to hyperspectral data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between serotypes of dengue highlight epidemiological impact of cross-immunity
Nicholas G. Reich,Nicholas G. Reich,Sourya Shrestha,Aaron A. King,Aaron A. King,Pejman Rohani,Pejman Rohani,Justin Lessler,Siripen Kalayanarooj,In-Kyu Yoon,Robert V. Gibbons,Donald S. Burke,Derek A. T. Cummings +12 more
TL;DR: This is the first quantitative evidence that short-term cross-protection exists since human experimental infection studies performed in the 1950s and will impact strategies for designing dengue vaccine studies, future multi-Strain modelling efforts, and the understanding of evolutionary pressures in multi-strain disease systems.
