Risky prey behavior evolves in risky habitats

M. C. Urban
2007 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America  
Longstanding theory in behavioral ecology predicts that prey should evolve decreased foraging rates under high predation threat.  ...  In particular, prey should adopt riskier behaviors under predation threat than expected under existing risk allocation models if foraging effort directly reduces the duration of risk by growth into a size  ...  T he growth-predation risk tradeoff constitutes one of the more successful and generalizable predictions in ecology (1) (2) (3) .  ...

The prediction-explanation fallacy: A pervasive problem in scientific applications of machine learning

Marco Del Giudice
2024 Methodology: European Journal of Research Methods for the Behavioral and Social Sciences  
Second, different predictive models trained on the same or similar data can be biased in different ways, so that they may predict equally well but suggest conflicting explanations.  ...  Here I introduce the tradeoffs between prediction and explanation in a non-technical fashion, present illustrative examples from neuroscience, and end by discussing some mitigating factors and methods  ...  This kind of tradeoff is most acute in underparametrized models, i.e., models that have fewer free parameters than the number of data points in the training set.  ...

A Survey of What to Share in Federated Learning: Perspectives on Model Utility, Privacy Leakage, and Communication Efficiency [article]

Jiawei Shao, Zijian Li, Wenqiang Sun, Tailin Zhou, Yuchang Sun, Lumin Liu, Zehong Lin, Yuyi Mao, Jun Zhang
2024 arXiv   pre-print
Without data centralization, FL allows clients to share local information in a privacy-preserving manner.  ...  First, we present a new taxonomy of FL methods in terms of three sharing methods, which respectively share model, synthetic data, and knowledge.  ...  FKD is a data-free knowledge distillation method that introduces a distillation regularizer to penalize the gap between the clients' class-wise predictions and the ensemble predictions.  ...

Robustness and aging—A systems-level perspective

Andres Kriete
2013 Biosystems (Amsterdam. Print)  
In this review several mechanisms influential for aging are re--evaluated in support of robustness tradeoffs.  ...  The theory of robustness describes a system level property of evolutionary systems, which predicts tradeoffs of great interest for the systems biology of aging, such as accumulation of non--heritable damage  ...  The limitations and tradeoffs in any type or target for intervention document a careful distribution of resources under the robustness paradigm.  ...

Resource Selection by an Endangered Ungulate: A Test of Predator-Induced Range Abandonment

Jeffrey T. Villepique, Becky M. Pierce, Vernon C. Bleich, Aleksandra Andic, R. Terry Bowyer
2015 Advances in Ecology  
We investigated influences of risk of predation by mountain lions (Puma concolor), topographic metrics at multiple scales, and vegetation, land, and snow cover on resource selection by Sierra Nevada bighorn  ...  We hypothesized that those mountain ungulates would trade off rewards accrued from using critical low-elevation habitat in winter for the safety of areas with reduced risk of predation.  ...  Our alternative bottom-up hypothesis is supported by data demonstrating a reduced tradeoff by bighorn sheep remaining in snow-free, high-elevation winter habitat during drought years, providing an empirically  ...
