Long-term wildlife monitoring involves collecting time series data, often using the same observers over multiple years. Aging-related changes to these observers may be an important, under-recognized source of error that can bias management decisions. In this study, we used data from two large, independent bird surveys, the Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Ontario ("OBBA") and the North American B...

Over the last few years the efficiency of search equilibria has been examined by a number of authors. In a series of papers, Diamond (1981; 1982a; 1982b; 1984) has studied this issue in depth. Diamond (1981) shows that in a market with a distribution of match specific mobility costs, an unemployment insurance programme can improve the ex ante welfare of all workers by inducing each of them to f...

The acanthocephalan Echinorhynchus bothniensis Zdzitowiecki and Valtonen, 1987 differs from most other species in the genus Echinorhynchus Zoega in Müller, 1776 by infecting mysids (order Mysida) instead of amphipods (order Amphipoda) as intermediate hosts. Here we report on the occurrence of E. bothniensis in mysids (Mysis segerstralei Audzijonytė et Väinölä) and in its fish definitive hosts i...

1 Stein’s lemma • In a landmark paper, Stein (1981) derived a beautiful and simple lemma about the standard normal distribution. Indeed, Stein knew of this result much earlier and wrote about it in previous papers, but in Stein (1981), the author developed a multivariate extension of this lemma that led to a remarkable result on unbiased risk estimation. (And, an interesting note: the paper Ste...

As instructors continue developing and mixing useful learning tools for their classrooms, games have become one of the popular alternatives in b-school education. This paper explains an inventory simulation game, evaluation of student's learning from playing the game and results. An effective game helps students understand concepts more quickly and remember them better than from only a faculty ...
