Physically based modelling of glacier evolution under climate change in the tropical Andes by J. D. Mackay, J. D. Mackay, N. E. Barrand, D. M. Hannah, E. Potter, E. Potter, N. Montoya, W. Buytaert

“…Only by forcing the model with observed net radiation variables were we able to capture observed surface albedo dynamics. When driven with statistically downscaled climate change projections, the JULES–OGGM simulations indicate that, contrary to point-scale energy balance studies, sublimation plays a very minor role in glacier evolution at the basin scale and does not bring about significant non-linearities in the glacier response to climate warming. …”

Accounting for observation biases associated with counts of young when estimating fecundity: case study on the arboreal-nesting red kite (Milvus milvus) by Sollmann, Rahel, Adenot, Nathalie, Spakovszky, Peter, Windt, Jendrik, Mattsson, Brady J.

“…These counts can, however, suffer from over and undercounting, which can lead to biased estimates of fecundity (average number of nestlings per brood). Statistical model development to account for observation bias has focused on false negatives (undercounts), yet it has been shown that these models are sensitive to the presence of false positives (overcounts) when they are not accounted for. …”
