Sexual selection predicts the persistence of populations within altered environments by Parrett, Jonathan M., Mann, Darren J., Chung, Arthur Y. C., Slade, Eleanor M., Knell, Robert J.

“…The effect of sexual selection on species persistence remains unclear. The cost of bearing ornaments or armaments might increase extinction risk, but sexual selection can also enhance the spread of beneficial alleles and increase the removal of deleterious alleles, potentially reducing extinction risk. …”

Resonant forward-scattered field in the high-saturation regime : elastic and inelastic contributions by Kwong, Chang Chi, Wellens, T., Pandey, K., Wilkowski, David

“…We measure the resonant forward scattering of light by a highly saturated atomic medium through the flashes emitted immediately after an abrupt extinction of the probe beam. The experiment is done in a dilute regime where the phenomena are well captured using the independent scattering approximation. …”

Impact of jet fuel hedging on firm value : a study on global airlines. by Quah, Hui Li., Tan, Jazreel Yan Zhen., Teo, Lay Hui.

“…We also find three factors, namely managerial shares and options holdings, financial distress costs and the presence of alternative hedging mechanism that have significant bearing on airlines’ hedging decisions. Upon understanding how hedging value adds across different regions and periods of fuel price volatility, investors can pay more attention to these three factors in order to accurately predict and assess airlines’ hedging decisions. …”
