Herbarium turns a new leaf

Steven Dakin and colleagues present a detailed analysis of the stimuli used in our study [1] revealing that our method of interpolation is associated with certain changes in the statistical properties of interpolated images. They argue that these changes might represent a possible source of the BOLD signal non-monotonicity that we observed in the primary visual cortex (V1). This finding is inte...

Phylogenetic systematics turns over a new leaf.

Long restricted to the domain of molecular systematics and studies of molecular evolution, likelihood methods are now being used in analyses of discrete morphological data, specifically to estimate ancestral character states and for tests of character correlation. Biologists are beginning to apply likelihood models within a Bayesian statistical framework, which promises not only to provide answ...

Development of a New Jughandle Design for Facilitating High- Volume Left Turns and U-turns

Mate choice turns cognitive.

Evolutionary psychology has revolutionized research on human mate choice and sexual attraction in recent years, combining a rigorous Darwinian framework based on sexual selection theory with a loosely cognitivist orientation to task analysis and mechanism modelling. This hard Darwinian, soft computational approach has been most successful at revealing the adaptive logic behind physical beauty, ...
