Taxonomic and Geographic Bias in Conservation Biology Research: A Systematic Review of Wildfowl Demography Studies
Demographic data are important to wildlife managers to gauge population health, to allow populations to be utilised sustainably, and to inform conservation efforts. We analysed published demographic data on the world's wildfowl to examine taxonomic and geographic biases in study, and to identify gaps in knowledge. Wildfowl (order: Anseriformes) are a comparatively well studied bird group which ...
متن کاملAnticipation in schizophrenia: biology or bias?
Anticipation is a genetic phenomenon wherein age of disease onset decreases and/ or severity increases in successive generations. Anticipation has been demonstrated for several neuropsychiatric disorders with expanding trinucleotide repeats recently identified as the underlying molecular mechanism. We report here the results of an analysis of anticipation performed with multiplex families segre...
متن کاملGeographic bias related to geocoding in epidemiologic studies
BACKGROUND This article describes geographic bias in GIS analyses with unrepresentative data owing to missing geocodes, using as an example a spatial analysis of prostate cancer incidence among whites and African Americans in Virginia, 1990-1999. Statistical tests for clustering were performed and such clusters mapped. The patterns of missing census tract identifiers for the cases were examined...
متن کاملCoevolutionary Biology: Sex and the Geographic Mosaic of Coevolution
Natural selection can favor the coexistence of sexual and asexual forms of a species even within a single ecosystem, when hotspots of coevolution between hosts and parasites occur next to coldspots.
متن کاملChemical biology of genomic DNA: minimizing PCR bias†
The exquisite selectivity of chemical reactions enables the study of rare DNA bases. However, chemical modification of the genome can affect downstream analysis. We report a PCR bias caused by such modification, and exemplify a solution with the synthesis and characterization of a cleavable aldehyde-reactive biotinylation probe.
