The risk of flawed inference in evolutionary studies when detectability is less than one.
Addressing evolutionary questions in the wild remains a challenge. It is best done by monitoring organisms from birth to death, which is very difficult in part because individuals may or may not be resighted or recaptured. Although the issue of uncertain detection has long been acknowledged in ecology and conservation biology, in evolutionary studies of wild populations it is often assumed that...
متن کاملWhen economic growth is less than exponential
This paper argues that growth theory needs a more general notion of “regularity” than that of exponential growth. We suggest that paths along which the rate of decline of the growth rate is proportional to the growth rate itself deserve attention. This opens up for considering a richer set of parameter combinations than in standard growth models. Moreover, it avoids the usual oversimplistic dic...
متن کاملWhen Less Is More: Evolutionary Origins of the Affect Heuristic
The human mind is built for approximations. When considering the value of a large aggregate of different items, for example, we typically do not summate the many individual values.

While useful in many situations, this...
