Bayesian Method for Causal Inference in Spatially-Correlated Multivariate Time Series
BAYESIAN ANALYSIS, 14(1), 1–28.
author keywords: advertising campaign; Bayesian variable selection; causal inference; graphical model; stationarity; time series
TL;DR:
A new causal inference method that uses a Bayesian multivariate time series model to capture the spatial correlation between stores and is able to detect smaller scale of causal impact as measurement errors are automatically filtered out in the causal analysis compared to a commonly used method.

Ecosystem function in predator-prey food webs-confronting dynamic models with empirical data
JOURNAL OF ANIMAL ECOLOGY, 88(2), 196–210.
author keywords: agricultural pests; allometry; body mass; conservation biological control; herbivore suppression; multitrophic functioning; predator-prey interactions; species traits
MeSH headings : Animals; Ecosystem; Food Chain; Models, Biological; Population Dynamics; Predatory Behavior; Sweden
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated how in-depth model analysis can disentangle the likely drivers of function, such as the community's abundance and trait composition, and how trait-based parameterization must be refined and extended to include more traits than body size.

Impacts on soil nitrogen availability of converting managed pine plantation into switchgrass monoculture for bioenergy
SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 654, 1326–1336.
author keywords: Managed forests; Switchgrass; Biomass; Biofuel; Soil N cycling; Soil N dynamics
MeSH headings : Agriculture; Crops, Agricultural; Environmental Monitoring; Nitrogen / analysis; North America; Panicum / growth & development; Pinus / growth & development; Pinus taeda; Soil / chemistry
TL;DR:
Investigation of the conversion of previously managed loblolly pine stand into SWITCH in eastern North Carolina, U.S.A. indicated that establishment of SWITCH on poorly drained lands previously under PINE is less likely to significantly impact total soil N availability and potentially has minimum N leaching losses since soil mineral N under this system will be dominated by ammonium-N.

TL;DR:
It is found that the effort researchers waste in writing proposals may be comparable to the total scientific value of the research that the funding supports, especially when only a few proposals can be funded.

Effect of wheat infection timing on Fusarium head blight causal agents and secondary metabolites in grain
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD MICROBIOLOGY, 290, 214–225.
author keywords: Anthesis; Fusarium graminearum; Fusarium avenaceum; Fusarium poae; Fusarium acuminatum; Mycotoxins
MeSH headings : Chromatography, Liquid; Edible Grain / microbiology; Fusarium / classification; Fusarium / isolation & purification; Mycotoxins / analysis; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Secondary Metabolism; Tandem Mass Spectrometry; Time Factors; Triticum / metabolism; Triticum / microbiology
TL;DR:
Overall, infection timing appeared to play a role particularly in F. graminearum colonization and secondary metabolite accumulation, however, secondary metabolites of weaker Fusarium species may be relatively more abundant when environmental conditions promote spore dispersal later in anthesis.

ANNALS OF ACTUARIAL SCIENCE, 13(1), 67–79.
author keywords: Density estimation; Mixture model; Non-parametric Bayes; Risk management; Value-at-risk

A spatial kernel density method to estimate the diet composition of fish
CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC SCIENCES, 76(2), 249–267.
TL;DR:
The spatial estimator had lower mean squared error values compared with the traditional cluster-based estimator for all Monte Carlo simulations and provided strong evidence that data on food habits should be modeled using spatial approaches and not treated as spatially independent.

Drivers of elevational richness peaks, evaluated for trees in the east Himalaya
ECOLOGY, 100(1).
author keywords: beta diversity; diversification rate; elevational gradient; geometric constraints; Himalaya; mid-elevational peak; species richness; trees
MeSH headings : Altitude; Biodiversity; India; Species Specificity; Trees
TL;DR:
It is considered that AET declines with elevation, but an abrupt change in the association of AET with geographical distance into the plains means that the location of highest AET, at the base of the mountain, receives range overlaps from fewer species than the location just above the base.

TL;DR:
The understanding of the gender gap in self-perceived knowledge is enhanced by suggesting it is contingent on educational attainment, which could be the result of stereotype-threat experienced by women and minorities, and exacerbated by educational systems.
