Markov Chain Monte Carlo inversion of temperature and salinity structure of an internal solitary wave packet from marine seismic data (2016)
Journal Article
Tang, Q., Hobbs, R., Zheng, C., Biescas, B., & Caiado, C. (2016). Markov Chain Monte Carlo inversion of temperature and salinity structure of an internal solitary wave packet from marine seismic data. Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 121(6), 3692-3709. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016jc011810

Marine seismic reflection technique is used to observe the strong ocean dynamic process of nonlinear internal solitary waves (ISWs or solitons) in the near-surface water. Analysis of ISWs is problematical because of their transient nature and limitat...

Evaluating reproductive decisions as discrete choices under social influence (2016)
Journal Article
Bentley, R., Brock, W., Caiado, C., & O'Brien, M. (2016). Evaluating reproductive decisions as discrete choices under social influence. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 371(1692), Article 20150154. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2015.0154

Discrete choice, coupled with social influence, plays a significant role in evolutionary studies of human fertility, as investigators explore how and why reproductive decisions are made. We have previously proposed that the relative magnitude of soci... Read More about Evaluating reproductive decisions as discrete choices under social influence.

Fitness landscapes among many options under social influence (2016)
Journal Article
Caiado, C., Brock, W., Bentley, R., & O'Brien, M. (2016). Fitness landscapes among many options under social influence. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 405, 5-16. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2015.12.013

Cultural learning represents a novel problem in that an optimal decision depends not only on intrinsic utility of the decision/behavior but also on transparency of costs and benefits, the degree of social versus individual learning, and the relative...
