An approach to using stranding data to monitor cetacean population trends and guide conservation strategies by Rachel L. Lennon, Rosie S. Williams, Kathryn J. Allan, Mariel T.I. ten Doeschate, Nicholas J. Davison, Simon A. Babayan, Andrew C. Brownlow

“…Species were clustered into broad ecological groups - baleen whales, short-beaked common dolphins, deep divers, harbour porpoises and pelagic dolphins - for spatiotemporal analysis of stranding patterns. All groups showed increases in annual stranding rates over the study period, with common dolphins and baleen whales exhibiting exponential increases, suggesting these species may be facing heightened pressures. …”

Comparing Machine Learning-Based Crime Hotspots Versus Police Districts: What’s the Best Approach for Crime Forecasting? by Eugenio Cesario, Paolo Lindia, Andrea Vinci

“…Then, crime forecasting models are extracted for each area, to monitor and predict how crime rates evolve over time within each partition. However, traditional spatial partitioning approaches, which divide cities into predefined police districts based on geographic and operational considerations, often fail to account for variations in crime patterns. …”

Rasoloarison, Solofonirina Rasoloharijaona, Christian Roos, Jordi Salmona, Anne D. Yoder, Rosana Zenil-Ferguson, Dietmar Zinner, David W. Weisrock

“…Our analyses reveal multiple bursts of diversification (without subsequent declines) that explain much of today’s lemur diversity. We also find higher rates of speciation in Madagascar’s lemurs compared to lorisiforms, and we demonstrate that the lemur clades with high diversification rates also have high rates of genomic introgression. …”
