7. Markov chain Monte Carlo without likelihoods.

   Paul Marjoram, John Molitor, Vincent Plagnol, Simon Tavare in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2003)

   Many stochastic simulation approaches for generating observations from a posterior distribution depend on knowing a likelihood function. However, for many complex probability models, such likelihoods are either impossible or computationally…

8. Towards a unification of unified theories of biodiversity.

   Brian J McGill in Ecology letters (2010)

   Abstract A unified theory in science is a theory that shows a common underlying set of rules that regulate processes previously thought to be distinct. Unified theories have been important in physics including the unification of electricity and…

9. The current biodiversity extinction event: scenarios for mitigation and recovery.

   M J Novacek, Elsa E. Cleland in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (2001)

   The current massive degradation of habitat and extinction of species is taking place on a catastrophically short timescale, and their effects will fundamentally reset the future evolution of the planet's biota. The fossil record suggests that…

11. Tree growth inference and prediction from diameter censuses and ring widths.

    James S. Clark, Michael Wolosin, Michael Dietze, Inés Ibáñez, Shannon LaDeau, Miranda Welsh, in Ecological applications : a publication of the Ecological Society of America (2007)

    Estimation of tree growth is based on sparse observations of tree diameter, ring widths, or increments read from a dendrometer. From annual measurements on a few trees (e.g., increment cores) or sporadic measurements from many trees (e.g., diameter…
