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: Focusing on birds and bees in Sichuan Province, it is found that GFGP reforestation results in modest gains and losses of bird diversity, along with major losses of bee diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Least-squares forecast averaging
TL;DR: The MMA forecasts have low MSFE and have much lower maximum regret than other feasible forecasting methods, including equal weighting, BIC selection, weighted BIC, AIC selection), weighted AIC, Bates-Granger combination, predictive least squares, and Granger-Ramanathan combination.

Multiple continental radiations and correlates of diversification in Lupinus (Leguminosae): testing for key innovation with incomplete taxon sampling.

TL;DR: Bayesian ancestral state reconstructions and BiSSE likelihood analyses of correlated diversification indicated that increased rates of speciation are strongly associated with the derived evolution of perennial life history and invasion of montane ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphometrics of the avian small intestine compared with that of nonflying mammals: a phylogenetic approach.
TL;DR: Birds may operate with a reduced digestive capacity, compared with that of nonflying mammals, to meet an increase in metabolic needs (i.e., a reduced spare capacity) without increased rate of enzyme hydrolysis and/or mediated transport and without increased passive absorption of water‐soluble nutrients.

Greater Sage‐Grouse Population Response to Energy Development and Habitat Loss
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed lek-count, habitat, and infrastructure data to assess how CBNG development and other landscape features influenced trends in the numbers of male sage-grouse observed and persistence of leks in the Powder River Basin (PRB) of Wyoming and Montana, USA, have experienced rapid, widespread changes to their habitat due to recent coal-bed natural gas (CBNG) development.
