Under ambient conditions, marine organisms are able to synthesize a variety of functional materials, ranging from eye lenses to protective shells through the meticulous control over magnesium incorporation into calcite during its crystallization. The mecha ...
Explanations for the evolution of delayed maturity usually invoke trade-offs mediated by growth, but processes of reproductive maturation continue long after growth has ceased. Here, we tested whether sexual selection shapes the rate of posteclosion matura ...
Aedes aegypti is an important disease vector and a major target of reproductive control efforts. We manipulated the opportunity for sexual selection in populations of Ae. aegypti by controlling the number of males competing for a single female. Populations ...
Understanding the extent to which humans perceive the emotional state of animals has both theoretical and practical implications. While recent studies indicate that natural selection has led to some convergence of emotion coding among vertebrate species (i ...
This thesis consists of five papers published in peer-reviewed journals, two of which focus on method development of time-serial inference, represented by publications in methodology journals, and three others that describe collaborative data applications ...
Lande and Arnold's approach to quantifying natural selection has become a standard tool in evolutionary biology due to its simplicity and generality. It treats linear and nonlinear selection in two separate frameworks, generating coefficients of selection ...
The participants in randomized trials and other studies used for causal inference are often not representative of the populations seen by clinical decision-makers. To account for differences between populations, researchers may consider standardizing resul ...
Pathogen strains may differ in virulence because they attain different loads in their hosts, or because they induce different disease-causing mechanisms independent of their load. In evolutionary ecology, the latter is referred to as" per-parasite pathogen ...
Graphic statics provide a visual understanding of the relation between a structures’ shape and its efforts, a valuable quality in the field of structural conception. When combined to a shape grammar, the graphical method has proven to be a very powerful to ...
Sensorless needle position detection for the actuator of a textile machine is challenging because of its multi current levels used and the transient state when the current changes. A local regression method can be used to represent the variation of inducta ...
