In the subfamily Stomoxyinae there are currently 18 recognized Stomoxys species, plus two subspecies. Most knowledge was gained through studies with S. calcitrans, a cosmopolitan economic pest, and vector. Other spp. known only from few trapped adult specimens. Herein, have been grouped by their ecological diversity, global distribution, phylogeny phylogeography. Seven species dependent to some...

Cooperative games with transferable utilities belong to a branch of game theory where groups of players can enter into binding agreements and form coalitions in order to jointly achieve some objectives. In a cooperative setting, one of the most important questions to address is how to establish a payoff distribution among the players in such a way to ensure the stability of the game. Classical ...

In this paper, we will discuss a parametric approach to risk-neutral density extraction from option prices based on the knowledge of the estimated historical density. A flexible distribution is needed in order to find an equivalent change of measure and, at the same time, take into account the historical estimates. To this end, we introduce a new tempered stable distribution we refer to as the ...

Asset management and pricing models require the proper modeling of the return distribution of financial assets. While the return distribution used in the traditional theories of asset pricing and portfolio selection is the normal distribution, numerous studies that have investigated the empirical behavior of asset returns in financial markets throughout the world reject the hypothesis that asse...
