Genetic markers in the playground of multivariate analysis
TL;DR: A critical analysis of the application of multivariate methods to genetic markers is provided, using a general framework that unifies all these methods for the sake of clarity, and several questions of interest in which multivariate analysis has a great role are tackled.

Influence of vegetation, topography, and roads on cougar movement in southern california
TL;DR: This paper examined the movements of 10 female and 7 male cougars (Puma concolor) at 15min intervals during 44 nocturnal or diel periods of hunting or traveling in the Santa Ana Mountain Range of southern California, USA, between 1988 and 1992.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysing continuous proportions in ecology and evolution: A practical introduction to beta and Dirichlet regression
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the different types of proportional data and discuss the different analysis strategies available, as well as some of the most important extensions of Dirichlet and Beta Regression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Sieving, Storage, and Incubation Temperature on the Phospholipid Fatty Acid Profile of a Soil Microbial Community
TL;DR: Several of the changes observed at 25 degrees C could be explained with reference to mechanisms of temperature adaptation or as a response to conditions of stress, including a decrease in the degree of unsaturation, an increased production of cyclopropyl fatty acids, and increased ratios of the branched-chain fatty acids.

Annette Van Oystaeyen,Ricardo Caliari Oliveira,Luke Holman,Jelle S. van Zweden,Carmen Romero,Cintia Akemi Oi,Patrizia d'Ettorre,Mohammadreza Khalesi,Johan Billen,Felix L. Wäckers,Jocelyn G. Millar,Tom Wenseleers +11 more
TL;DR: The results show that queen pheromones are strikingly conserved across at least three independent origins of eusociality, with wasps, ants, and some bees all appearing to use nonvolatile, saturated hydrocarbons to advertise fecundity and/or suppress worker reproduction.

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.
