Abstract: We reviewed river rehabilitation studies published from 1984 to 2019 to identify factors that might limit effective rehabilitation. This encompasses 89 papers that reported outcomes of 379 independent projects. We found that methods used to… read more here.

Abstract: A recent analysis of supernova Ia (SN Ia) data claims a “marginal” (~ 3 σ ) evidence for a cosmic acceleration. This result has been complemented with a non-accelerating R h = ct cosmology, which… read more here.

Abstract: Understanding the dynamics of species adaptation to their environments has long been a central focus of the study of evolution. Theories of adaptation propose that populations evolve by “walking” in a fitness landscape. This “adaptive… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2019.01166
Abstract: As an example of applying the evidential approach to statistical inference, we address one of the longest standing controversies in ecology, the evidence for, or against, a universal metabolic scaling relationship between metabolic rate and… read more here.
