Structural breaks and GARCH models of exchange rate volatility: Re‐examination and extension Open
Summary We examine the empirical significance of structural changes concerning generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models of exchange rate volatility using out‐of‐sample tests by replicating and carrying out r…

Exposure to female olfactory cues hastens reproductive ageing and increases mortality when mating in male mice Open
Theories of ageing predict that investment in reproduction will trade-off against survival and later-life reproduction. Recent evidence from invertebrates suggests that just perceiving cues of a potential mate's presence can reduce lifespa…

Is Australia weird? A cross-continental comparison of biological, geological and climatological features Open
Australia’s distinctive biogeography means that it is sometimes considered an ecologically unique continent with biological and abiotic features that are not comparable to those observed in the rest of the world. This leaves some researche…
