Individual patterns of anadromy determine the cost of salmon lice exposure in brown trout by K. L. Hawley, H. A. Urke, T. Kristensen, T. O. Haugen

“…This resulted in an unequal contribution of lice to total mortality among populations (range: 3.3%–34.3%). Despite an equal distribution of lice exposure for all populations within the fjord, diverse mortality consequences among populations were estimated, largely resulting from individual selection of migration trajectory. …”

Energy Infrastructure Clears the Way for Coyotes in Alberta's Oil Sands by Jamie F. Clarke, Larissa Bron, Madison Carlson, Sophia S. Labiy, Zoe Penno, Hayley Webster, Jason T. Fisher, Marissa A. Dyck

“…High densities of wide linear features and high relative abundances of small mammal prey and large competitors best predicted coyote occurrence, whereas natural features had a negative effect. Selection for higher densities of these features suggests that wide linear clearings, like roads and geo‐survey seismic lines, provide movement paths for coyotes as they do for wolves, although they may also provide prey subsidies. …”

The Effect of Split-offs in Corporate Reorganization by Daisuke ASAOKA

“…Split-offs, a form of divestiture whereby a parent firm distributes the stock of a divested subsidiary to its shareholders in exchange for their stock holdings in the parent, has the effect of simultaneously executing a divestiture and a share repurchase equivalent in value to the divested subsidiary, while also effecting self-selection by shareholders through their choice of stocks from the parent and the subsidiary. …”

Tweedie Model for Predicting Factors Associated with Distance Traveled to Access Inpatient Services in Kenya by Ngugi Mwenda, Mathew Kosgei, Gregory Kerich, Ruth Nduati

“…As the clustered data were correlated, we used the generalized estimating equations approach with an exchangeable correlation under a Tweedie distribution. To select the best-fit covariates for predicting distance, we adopted a variable selection technique using the QICu and R2 criteria, wherein the lowest (highest) value for the former (latter) is preferred. …”
