Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…The five mechanisms of persistence explored in our study have been demonstrated as effective strategies in other species, and the fact that only one of them had strong support here supports the idea that globally rare species can employ distinct persistence strategies. This reinforces the need for customized management and conservation strategies that mirror the diversity of mechanisms that allow rare species persistence.…”

Evolution of an epidemic: understanding the opioid epidemic in the United States and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on opioid-related mortality by Laing, R, Donnelly, C

“…Through the lens of key events in the opioid epidemic, we build an interrupted time series model to reveal statistically significant drivers of opioid-related mortality. We then employ a counterfactual to approximate trends in the absence of COVID-19, and estimate excess opioid-related deaths (defined as observed opioid-related deaths minus projected opioid-related deaths) associated with the pandemic. …”
