Journal ArticleDOI
The Extent and Consequences of P-Hacking in Science
TL;DR: It is suggested that p-hacking probably does not drastically alter scientific consensuses drawn from meta-analyses, and its effect seems to be weak relative to the real effect sizes being measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
The indirect benefits of mating with attractive males outweigh the direct costs
TL;DR: The results suggest that the direct costs that females experience when mating with attractive males can be outweighed by indirect benefits and reveal the value of estimating the net fitness consequences of a mating strategy by including measures of offspring quality in estimates of fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal and paternal condition effects on offspring phenotype in Telostylinus angusticollis (Diptera: Neriidae).
TL;DR: The results suggest that paternal effects can be important even in species lacking conventional forms of paternal care, and in such species, the transfer of paternal condition to offspring could contribute to indirect selection on female mate preferences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of Experimental Bias in the Life Sciences: Why We Need Blind Data Recording.
TL;DR: Evidence that blind protocols are uncommon in the life sciences and that nonblind studies tend to report higher effect sizes and more significant p-values is found using text mining and a literature review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual imprinting on ecologically divergent traits leads to sexual isolation in sticklebacks
TL;DR: The results suggest that imprinting may facilitate the evolution of sexual isolation during ecological speciation, may be especially important in cases of rapid diversification, and thus play an integral role in the generation of biodiversity.
