Effects of zooplankton abundance on the spawning phenology of winter-spawning Downs herring (Clupea harengus). by Paul Marchal, Carolina Giraldo, David Johns, Sébastien Lefebvre, Christophe Loots, Lola Toomey

“…A two-tiered approach building on the monthly distribution of commercial herring landings was developed, which consisted of, (1) calculating the timing and duration of spawning season based on estimated deviations from basic harmonic signals and, (2) analysing their inter-annual variations in relation to biotic (zooplankton abundance) and abiotic (temperature) environmental variables through time series analyses. …”

Testing for wage-specific search intensity by Sílvio Rendon

“…I leverage these distinct empirical predictions to develop two new nonparametric tests, applied to NLSY97 data, both of which reject the hypothesis of constant search intensity across wages. Furthermore, I estimate the structural parameters identifiable in each model, revealing that wage-specific search leads to greater total search effort, faster transitions into the upper tail of the wage distribution, and ultimately higher accepted wages—more than a 25% increase following unemployment. …”

Polanczyk, Curtis Huttenhower, Kirsten A. Donald, Vanja Klepac-Ceraj

“…Abstract Characterizing the dynamics of microbial community succession in the infant gut microbiome is crucial for understanding child health and development, but no normative model currently exists. Here, we estimate child age using gut microbial taxonomic relative abundances from metagenomes, with high temporal resolution (±3 months) for the first 1.5 years of life. …”
