The Beale’s Eyed Turtle ( Sacalia bealei ) is a highly endangered Chinese species at risk of extinction due to overexploitation for the food and pet trades. Nonetheless, Hong Kong still houses a handful of relatively healthy populations of this species, providing an increasingly rare opportunity to study the population genetics of...

Industrial symbiosis (IS) employs a cross‐organizational perspective to seek synergistic pairings of one company's waste output to another company's input, enabled by interfirm cooperation through resource and information sharing. Orchestrating IS relationships among companies, however, remains a complex process. In the literature, a wide range of qualitative and quantitative tools have emerged, tackling issues ranging from id...

A common feature of ecological data sets is their tendency to contain many zero values. Statistical inference based on such data are likely to be inefficient or wrong unless careful thought is given to how these zeros arose and how best to model them. In this paper, we propose a framework for understanding how zero‐inflated data sets originate and deciding how best to model them. We define and classify the different kinds of z...
