The extinctions of plant and animal species are almost never observed directly, but must be inferred from sighting records. This paper reviews some methods for statistical inference about the… Expand
A simple test for change in community structure
- A. Solow
- Mathematics
- 1993
1. The effect of disturbance on a biological community is commonly measured by a change in an index of community structure. When such an index is calculated from a sample from the community, it is… Expand
Acoustic alarms reduce porpoise mortality

- 7 August 1997
The most serious danger to dolphins and porpoises around the world is the threat from various forms of gill-net fishing. One potential way to reduce the number of deaths of marine mammals is the use… Expand
VALUE OF IMPROVED LONG‐RANGE WEATHER INFORMATION
An important human welfare implication of climate involves effects of interannual variation in temperature and precipitation on agriculture. Year-to-year variations in U.S. climate result from El… Expand
Individual recognition in wild bottlenose dolphins: a field test using playback experiments
We conducted playback experiments with wild bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, to determine whether there is sufficient information in their individually distinctive signature whistles for… Expand

Inferring extinction in a declining population
- A. Solow
- Geography
- 1 November 1993
This note describes a test for extinction in a declining population based on a record of sightings. The test assumes that, prior to extinction, the sightings follow a Poisson process with decreasing… Expand
