Generalized structural equations improve sexual-selection analyses
Sexual selection is an intense evolutionary force, which operates through competition for the access to breeding resources. There are many cases where male copulatory success is highly asymmetric, and few males are able to sire most females. Two main hypotheses were proposed to explain this asymmetry: "female choice" and "male dominance". The literature reports contrasting results. This variabi...
متن کاملIncorporating Generalized Quantifiers into Description Logic to Improve Source selection
Source selection allows the users to express what they want while the system automatically performs the identification and selection of relevant sources to answer the query request. To automate that process, the system must be able to represent the contents of data sources in a description language. Descriptions of source contents can be characterized by the two concepts of scope and size. This...
متن کاملModel selection for generalized estimating equations accommodating dropout missingness.
The generalized estimating equation (GEE) has been a popular tool for marginal regression analysis with longitudinal data, and its extension, the weighted GEE approach, can further accommodate data that are missing at random (MAR). Model selection methodologies for GEE, however, have not been systematically developed to allow for missing data. We propose the missing longitudinal information cri...
متن کاملSexual selection
Sexual selection is a concept that has probably been misunderstood and misrepresented more than any other idea in evolutionary biology, confusion that continues to the present day. We are not entirely sure why this is, but sexual politics seems to have played its role, as does a failure to understand what sexual selection is and why it was initially invoked. While in some ways less intuitive th...
متن کاملSexual selection
The reproductive biology of social Hymenoptera is characterized by lifelong sperm storage by queens and sperm limitation in males. Both sexes are therefore expected to be especially choosy about their mating partners. In particular, sexuals should avoid sib-mating because of the resulting risk of producing sterile diploid male offspring. Colonies of the ant Leptothorax gredleri are specialists ...
