Compositional analysis of catch curve data, with an application to Sebastes maliger
Jon T. Schnute,Rowan Haigh +1 more
TL;DR: Schnute et al. as discussed by the authors applied modern compositional analysis to catch curve data from a quillback rockfish (Sebastes maliger) population in British Columbia, Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
Workers of a Polistes Paper Wasp Detect the Presence of Their Queen by Chemical Cues
TL;DR: It is shown, for the first time in Vespidae, that Polistes gallicus workers distinguish nestmates from alien individuals and queens from workers by the hydrocarbon mixtures of the Van der Vecht organ secretion (VVS).

A cuckoo in wolves' clothing? Chemical mimicry in a specialized cuckoo wasp of the European beewolf (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae and Crabronidae)
Erhard Strohm,Erhard Strohm,Johannes Kroiss,Johannes Kroiss,Gudrun Herzner,Gudrun Herzner,Claudia Laurien-Kehnen,Wilhelm Boland,Peter Schreier,Thomas Schmitt,Thomas Schmitt +10 more
TL;DR: The behavioral data and the chemical analysis provide evidence that a specialized cuckoo wasp exhibits chemical mimicry of the odor of its host, which probably allows the cuckOO wasp to enter the nest with a reduced risk of being detected by olfaction and without leaving traitorous chemical traces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Olfactory cue use by three-spined sticklebacks foraging in turbid water: prey detection or prey location?
TL;DR: Olfaction functions to allow visual predators to detect rather than locate prey and that olfactory cues have an appetitive effect, enhancing motivation to forage is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endmember analysis of heavy-metal pollution in surficial sediments from the Gulf of Gdansk and the southern Baltic Sea off Poland
TL;DR: In this paper, the composition of surficial sediments from the Gulf of Gdansk and the Southern Baltic Sea off Poland were analyzed for 20 elements and the resulting compositional dataset was subjected to endmember analysis.

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.
