Fátt hefur valdið jafnmiklu umróti í samfélaginu síðustu ár og reynslusögur kvenna af kynferðislegri áreitni kynferðislegu ofbeldi sem birtar voru undir merkjum #MeToo. Á Íslandi hófst umræðan fyrir alvöru nóvember 2017 þegar fyrstu sögur hópa birtust opinberlega. Alls birtu 17 hópar þennan vetur. Sumir kölluðu eftir breytingum með almennu orðalagi en aðrir lögðu fram sky?rar kröfur um aðgerðir...

14 Species may evolve on a reticulate network due to hybridization or other gene flow rather than 15 on a strictly bifurcating tree, but comparative methods to deal with trait evolution on a network 16 are lacking. We create such a method, which uses a Brownian motion model. Our method seeks 17 to separately or jointly detect a bias in trait value coming from hybridization (í µí»½) and a burst ...

Estimates of age-specific natural (í µí±€) and fishing (í µí°¹) mortalities among economically important stocks are required to determine sustainable yields and, ultimately, facilitate effective resource management. Here we used hazard functions to estimate mortality rates for eastern sea garfish, Hyporhamphus australis—a pelagic species that forms the basis of an Australian commercial lampara-...
