Survival analysis of wildlife cameras on roads exposed to theft Open
Setting camera traps along roads is often necessary for ecological research and visitor management studies, yet these locations expose cameras to theft leading to substantial data losses. Measures to minimise this risk include placing came…

Late Pleistocene faunal community patterns disrupted by Holocene human impacts Open
We analysed fossil mammal assemblages from over 350 Late Pleistocene and Holocene sites worldwide to test whether human activities, such as agriculture, domestication and intensified land use, restructured global patterns of mammal co-occu…

MEWC: A user-friendly AI workflow for customised wildlife-image classification Open
Monitoring wildlife is crucial for making informed conservation and land-management decisions. Remotely triggered cameras are widely used for this purpose, but the resulting 'big data' are laborious to process. Although artificial intellig…

Southeast Asian biodiversity is a fifth lower in deforested versus intact forests Open
Southeast Asia is highly biodiverse and currently experiences among the highest rates of tropical deforestation globally, but impacts on biodiversity are not well synthesized. We use Bayesian multi-level modeling to meta-analyse 831 pairwi…

Influences of Software Changes on Oxycodone Prescribing at an Australian Tertiary Emergency Department: A Retrospective Review Open
Opioid prescribing and dispensing from emergency departments is a noteworthy issue given widespread opioid misuse and diversion in many countries, contributing both physical and economic harm to the population. High patient numbers and the…

A new OSL dose model to account for post-depositional mixing of sediments Open
In applications of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating to unconsolidated sediments, the burial age of a sample of grains is estimated using statistical models of the distribution of the experimentally determined equivalent doses…

Tree species richness and evenness affect forest biomass differently across biogeographic regions Open
The relationship between tree species diversity, measures of forest structure, and forest biomass has long been debated, with local- or continental-scale studies often finding contrasting results. Given the importance of forests as global …

Evaluation of the Abbott Panbio™ COVID-19 Ag Rapid Antigen Test for Asymptomatic Patients during the Omicron Wave Open
Rapid antigen testing (RAT) is a cost-effective and time-efficient method of identifying severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and therefore a critical part of infection control strategies. There is no published evid…

Cross validation for model selection: A review with examples from ecology Open
Specifying, assessing, and selecting among candidate statistical models is fundamental to ecological research. Commonly used approaches to model selection are based on predictive scores and include information criteria such as Akaike's inf…

Regional patterns of continuing decline of the eastern quoll† Open
Like many other Australian mammals, eastern quolls (Dasyurus viverrinus) were widespread in the south-east of mainland Australia but went extinct there during the 20th century. The species remained abundant in Tasmania until it rapidly dec…

Where's the harm? Screening student evaluations of teaching for offensive, threatening or distressing comments Open
Student evaluation surveys provide educational institutions with important feedback regarding the student experience of teaching and courses; however, qualitative comments can contain offensive, insulting or threatening content. Large educ…

Cross validation for model selection: a primer with examples from ecology Open
The growing use of model-selection principles in ecology for statistical inference is underpinned by information criteria (IC) and cross-validation (CV) techniques. Although IC techniques, such as Akaike's Information Criterion, have been …
