The Moa the Merrier: Resolving When the Dinornithiformes Went Extinct

The paper uses probabilistic sighting records to estimate Moa extinction timing, supporting the overkill hypothesis with a high likelihood of extinction by 1770 CE.

If not a fake, what's in the lake?

This study analyzes eyewitness sightings of a lake creature, finding increased sightings after a photo's publication, inconsistent morphology, and no correlation between sighting details and lake features, suggesting either misidentification or an unknown species.

If it's there, could it be a bear?

The paper analyzes the correlation between black bear populations and sasquatch sightings across the US and Canada, finding a statistically significant association suggesting many sasquatch sightings may be misidentified bears.

If it's real, could it be an eel?

The paper estimates the probability of large eels in Loch Ness using statistical models, finding it unlikely for eels to account for sightings of very large animals.
