Complete tag loss in capture-recapture studies affects abundance estimates: an elephant seal case study

1. In capture-recapture studies, recycled individuals occur when individuals lose all of their tags and are recaptured as though they were new individuals. Typically, the effect of these recycled individuals is assumed negligible. 2. Through a simulation-based study of double tagging experiments, we examined the effect of recycled individuals on parameter estimates in the Jolly-Seber model with tag loss (Cowen & Schwarz, 2006). We validated the simulation framework using long-term census data of elephant seals. 3. Including recycled individuals did not affect estimates of capture, survival, and tag-retention probabilities. However, with low tag-retention rates, high capture rates, and high survival rates, recycled individuals produced over estimates of population size. For the elephant seal case study, we found population size estimates to be between 8 and 53% larger when recycled individuals were ignored. 4. Ignoring the effects of recycled individuals can cause large biases in population size estimates. These results are particularly noticeable in longer studies.

Data from: Clinical management and mortality among COVID-19 cases in sub-Saharan Africa: a retrospective study from Burkina Faso and simulated case analysis.

Absolute numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths reported to date in the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region have been relatively low. As a result, there has been limited investigation into deceased cases in the region, as well as the impacts of different case management strategies. We detail demographic, epidemiological, and clinical information derived from publicly available information on deceased cases in SSA and, for cases in Burkina Faso, from aggregate records at the Center Hospitalier Universitaire de Tengandogo. Logistic regression was conducted on a synthetic case population to evaluate the adjusted odds of survival for patients receiving oxygen therapy or convalescent plasma, based on therapeutic effectiveness observed for other respiratory illnesses. Across SSA, deceased cases have been predominantly male and over 50 years of age. After adjustment for sex, age, and underlying conditions, the odds of mortality among cases in the synthetic population not receiving oxygen therapy was significantly higher than those receiving oxygen (OR: 2.07; 95%CI: 1.56-2.75). Cases receiving convalescent plasma had 50% reduced odds of mortality (95%CI: 0.24-0.93). Investment in sustainable oxygen therapy could reduce COVID-19 deaths in SSA. Ongoing investigation into convalescent plasma is warranted, as data on its effectiveness specifically in treating COVID-19 becomes available.

An Approach for Traceability Recovery between Bug Reports and Test Cases

Scripts and data sets used in research for An Approach for Traceability Recovery between Bug Reports and Test Cases. (Context) Automatic traceability recovery between software artifacts may promote early detection of issues. Information Retrieval (IR) techniques have been proposed for the task, but they differ considerably in terms of input parameters and results. It is difficult to assess results when those techniques are applied in isolation, usually in small or medium-sized software projects. Also, an overview would be more comprehensive if a Deep Learning (DL) based technique is applied, in comparison with traditional IR techniques. (Objective) We propose an approach to recover traceability links between bug reports and test cases, which can be instantiated with a set of IR and DL techniques. (Method) For applying and evaluating our solution, we used historical data from the Mozilla Firefox quality assurance (QA) team, on which we assessed the following IR techniques: LSI, LDA, and BM25. We also experimented with a DL architecture called Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) through the use of Word Embeddings. (Results) In this context of traceability, we noticed poor performances from three out of the four studied techniques. Only the LSI technique was effective, even standing out over the state-of-the-art BM25 technique. (Conclusions) The obtained results suggest that the semi-automatic application of the LSI technique -- with an appropriate combination of thresholds -- is feasible for real-world software projects.

Characterizing uncertainty in climate impact projections: a case study with seven marine species on the North American continental shelf

Projections of climate change impacts on living resources are being conducted frequently, and the goal is often to inform policy. Species projections will be more useful if uncertainty is effectively quantified. However, few studies have comprehensively characterized the projection uncertainty arising from greenhouse gas scenarios, Earth system models, and both structural and parameter uncertainty in species distribution modeling. Here we conducted 8964 unique 21st century projections for shifts in suitable habitat for seven economically important marine species including American lobster, Pacific halibut, Pacific ocean perch, and summer flounder. For all species, both the Earth system model used to simulate future temperatures and the niche modeling approach used to represent species distributions were important sources of uncertainty, while variation associated with parameter values in niche models was minor. Greenhouse gas emissions scenario contributed to uncertainty for projections at the century scale. The characteristics of projection uncertainty differed among species and also varied spatially, which underscores the need for improved multi-model approaches with a suite of Earth system models and niche models forming the basis for uncertainty around projected impacts. Ensemble projections show the potential for major shifts in future distributions. Therefore, rigorous future projections are important for informing climate adaptation efforts.
