A general quantitative theory of personality development: Fundamentals of a self-organizing psychobiological complex

TL;DR: In this paper, a general theory of personality and its development is described in terms of four quantitative dimensions of temperament and three qualitative dimensions of character, including self-directedness, cooperativeness, and self-transcendence.

Cranial evolution in sakis (Pithecia, Platyrrhini). II: Evolutionary processes and morphological integration.

TL;DR: Patterns of interspecific differentiation in saki monkeys (Pithecia) are quantitatively described and possible evolutionary processes producing them are examined, and it is suggested that genetic drift might be a sufficient explanation for saki cranial evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic epilepsy model derived from common inbred mouse strains.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that common strains of mice such as SWR and C57L contain latent epilepsy susceptibility alleles, implying that a number of potentially important and practical, noninvasive models for this disorder can be constructed and studied in crosses between common mouse strains.

Arithmetic or Geometric Normality of Biological Variation: an Empirical Test of Theory

TL;DR: A new likelihood approach is developed here using data from anthropometric surveys of humans in two states in India, finding that whenever alternatives are distinguishable geometric normality is consistently and strongly favored.

The importance of evolutionary constraints in ecological time scales

TL;DR: It is concluded that information about univariate genetic variances is not sufficient to predict evolutionary responses and may even be misleading, but genetic covariances are not always acting as constraints, but can under certain circumstances promote evolution towards the nearest optimum.
