Counteradaptation in Vulnerable Socio-ecological Systems in Sierra Leone Open
Sierra Leone is among the countries most vulnerable to climate change yet least resourced toconfront its impacts. Mainstream climate governance often casts adaptation as a technicaladjustment to biophysical hazards, but such framings risk …

Social influencers reduce infection burden and modify epidemic lag in group-structured populations Open
The impact of social media influence on social learning, health behaviour, and population health is a new, rapidly developing field of research. Previous research focused specifically on online social influencers suggests they may be able …

Ethnographic methods: Training norms and practices and the future of American anthropology Open
American anthropology is engaged in significant self‐reckonings that call for big changes to how anthropology is practiced. These include (1) recognizing and taking seriously the demands to decolonize the ways research is done, (2) address…

Publications Among Pain Medicine Fellowship-Trained American Board of Anesthesiology Diplomates Open
American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) diplomates who pursue clinical fellowship training in pain medicine may be better suited to lead scholarly projects and serve as first authors of publications in peer-reviewed journals given their add…

To understand climate change adaptation, we must characterize climate variability: Here’s how Open
Climate change adaptation involves the management of climate-related risks, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says we must prioritize adaptation immediately. However, researchers and policymakers have little systematic unde…

Minority-group incubators and majority-group reservoirs support the diffusion of climate change adaptations Open
Successful climate change adaptation depends on the spread and maintenance of adaptive behaviours. Current theory suggests that the heterogeneity of metapopulation structure can help adaptations diffuse throughout a population. In this pap…

The form of uncertainty affects selection for social learning Open
Social learning is a critical adaptation for dealing with different forms of variability. Uncertainty is a severe form of variability where the space of possible decisions or probabilities of associated outcomes are unknown. We identified …

Transitivity promotes effective risk management in resource sharing networks Open
Production and exchange systems in agrarian subsistence economies have been described as following a "safety-first" decision-making principle that minimizes the risk of shortfall. Here, we extend and formalize this idea, with a particular …

Social Network Analysis of Ebola Virus Disease During the 2014 Outbreak in Sukudu, Sierra Leone Open
Background Transmission by unreported cases has been proposed as a reason for the 2013–2016 Ebola virus (EBOV) epidemic decline in West Africa, but studies that test this hypothesis are lacking. We examined a transmission chain within soci…

Some forms of uncertainty may suppress the evolution of social learning Open
Social learning is essential to survival. It is likely to evolve when it is more efficient than asocial, trial-and- error learning. The consensus in cultural evolutionary theory holds that some amount of environmental variability and uncer…

Bullous Impetigo: A Mimicker of Immune-mediated Dermatoses Open
The differential diagnosis of vesiculobullous lesions can be intimidating to the primary care provider. While some entities such as bullous impetigo may easily be diagnosed clinically if the patient’s demographics as well as the lesion mor…

End-to-end Bayesian analysis for summarizing sets of radiocarbon dates Open
Archaeologists and demographers increasingly employ aggregations of published radiocarbon (14C) dates as demographic proxies summarizing changes in human activity in past societies. Presently, summed probability densities (SPDs) of calibra…

Adaptive social contact rates induce complex dynamics during epidemics Open
Epidemics may pose a significant dilemma for governments and individuals. The personal or public health consequences of inaction may be catastrophic; but the economic consequences of drastic response may likewise be catastrophic. In the fa…

Reparations for Black American descendants of persons enslaved in the U.S. and their potential impact on SARS-CoV-2 transmission Open
While there are compelling moral and historical arguments for racial-injustice interventions such as reparations, our study considers potential health benefits in the form of reduced SARS-CoV-2 transmission risk. A restitutive program targ…
