Rewarewa (Knightia excelsa, Proteaceae) is a tree species endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand, with a natural distribution spanning Te Ika-a-Māui (North Island) and the top of Te Waipounamu (South Island). We used the pseudo-chromosome genome assembly of re
This work investigates various methods in closed population models (Petersen estimator, maximum likelihood estimation with mixtures, and Huggins model) to estimate the number of injection drug users (IDU) in Victoria, B.C. Model selection methods used to choose a final model as well as goodnes...
In the winter of 2022/2023, excess death estimates for Germany indicated a 10% elevation, which has led to questions about the significance of this increase in mortality. Given the inherent errors in demographic forecasting, the reliability of estimating
We estimate the global population of Chinstrap penguins at 3.42 (95th-percentile CI: [2.98, 4.00]) million breeding pairs (Table 1) in 375 extant breeding sites, not including recent extirpations. All survey details, updated population estimates, historical benchmarks, and estimates of population...

The new proposed approach is one of the first methods to allow an applicability comparison among datasets originally characterized using different standards. 2.1. Settings: USA, Prato (IT), and Victoria (AUS) Data for this study were taken from three different regions: the state of Victoria (...
. Risk indicators for the location of sexual violence were nationality and age of the victim, relationship with the assailant, and alcohol intake (as dichotomous). Data were presented as the adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Wald tests were used to estimate the ...
The first was BAYESCAN v.2.1 (Foll and Gaggiotti, 2008), which uses a Bayesian approach to estimate the likelihood of selection acting on a locus; the second was the R package OutFlank (Whitlock and Lotterhos, 2015), which identifies outlier loci based on atypical FST values; and lastly,...
We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that measured height and weight in representative samples of the general population. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in the prevalence of different BMI categories, separately for adults (age ≥20 ye...
During the past decade, cognitive neuroscience has been calling for population diversity to address the challenge of validity and generalizability, ushering in a new era of population neuroscience. The developing Chinese Color Nest Project (devCCNP, 2013
