Restitution of mass–size residuals: validating body condition indices
TL;DR: This paper found no evidence of nonlinear relationships between body mass and body size and showed that residuals from reduced major axis (RMA) and major axis regression performed better than residuals of ordinary least squares (OLS) regression as indices of body condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Results indicate that including adaptive human behavior significantly changes the predicted course of epidemics and that this inclusion has implications for parameter estimation and interpretation and for the development of social distancing policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fasting endurance and the evolution of mammalian body size
TL;DR: Diversity of environmental correlates of body size among mammalian carnivores suggested that 'homeostatic needs' might set a lower limit to body size at higher latitudes suggests that large size reflects the need for energy reserves during the fasting period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Risk of Infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme Disease Agent, in Eastern United States

TL;DR: The geographic pattern of human risk for infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the tick-borne pathogen that causes Lyme disease, was mapped for the eastern United States, based on standardized field sampling in 304 sites of the density of Ixodes scapularis host-seeking nymphs infected with B. burgorferi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating body condition in small mammals
TL;DR: For all five species, condition estimates weakly predicted fat content and more accurately predicted variation in lean dry mass and water content, discouraging against the general use of isotope dilution in these animals.
