Avoidance of a generalist entomopathogenic fungus by the ladybird, Coccinella septempunctata.
TL;DR: It is predicted that behavioural responses to B. bassiana infection are widespread and driven by the high cost of fungal infection to a host.

Thallium in coal: Analysis and environmental implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the issue of thallium in coal, focussing on its origin, modes of occurrence, the analytical methods commonly used for its determination and its behaviour during coal utilisation for energy production.

Principal component analysis of magnetite composition from volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits: Case studies from the Izok Lake (Nunavut, Canada) and Halfmile Lake (New Brunswick, Canada) deposits
Sheida Makvandi,Massoud Ghasemzadeh-Barvarz,Georges Beaudoin,Eric C. Grunsky,M. Beth McClenaghan,Carl Duchesne +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used principal component analysis (PCA) to identify discriminator elements and their contributions to magnetite composition from different Izok Lake Lake and Halfmile Lake bedrock samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discriminant Analysis Applied to Establish Major-Element Field Boundaries for Tectonic Varieties of Basic Rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the statistical method of linear discriminant analysis has been applied to distinguish Pliocene to Recent basic rocks on the basis of their major-element composition, and field boundaries were derived by computing probability functions replacing the past practice of fitting lines by "eye".

Problems of relative growth
TL;DR: This detailed study of the different rates of growth of parts of the body relative to the body as a whole represents Sir Julian Huxley's great contribution to analytical morphology, and it is still a basis for modern investigations in morphometrics and evolutionary biology.

Experiments with Mixtures: Designs, Models and the Analysis of Mixture Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the original Mixture Problem is described and models for exploring the Entire Simplex Factor Space are presented, including matrix algebra, least squares, and the analysis of variance.
New statistical methods for allometry with application to
TL;DR: In this paper, Mosimann et al. presented new statistical methods for the study of size and shape, and used these methods to study the morphology of red-winged blackbirds, Agelaius phoeniceus breeding in Florida.

Analysis of dispersion on a sphere
TL;DR: In this article, a series of approximate tests of significance is given for hypotheses about the precision constant K and the polar vector on a sphere, where 8' is the angle between the polar and observation vectors.
