Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the influence of topographic position on cougar (Puma concolor) movement in southern California, USA
Brett G. Dickson,Paul Beier +1 more
TL;DR: This work analyzes the travel paths of 10–17 radio-tagged individuals monitored during 44 overnight sessions in the Santa Ana Mountain Range of southern California to suggest that traveling or hunting cougars discriminated in their use of topographic position, and canyon bottoms and gentle slopes ranked highest in compositional analyses of selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial clumping of food and social dominance affect interference competition among ruddy turnstones
TL;DR: The results suggest that social dominance will not be fully understood without considering long-term processes such as the formation and maintenance of social dominance hierarchies and the effects of competitor density on agonistic behavior and foraging success may well depend on the spatial distribution of food and the foragers’ relative dominance status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated interpretation of 3D laserscanned point clouds for plant organ segmentation
TL;DR: An automated segmentation of 3D point clouds is demonstrated in the present work and the analysis cascade can be implemented in future high-throughput phenotyping scenarios and will support the evaluation of the performance of different plant genotypes exposed to stress or in different environmental scenarios.

Longitudinal Studies of a B Cell–Derived Signature of Tolerance in Renal Transplant Recipients
Kenneth A. Newell,Adam Asare,Ignacio Sanz,Chungwen Wei,Alexander F. Rosenberg,Z. Gao,Sai Kanaparthi,Smita Asare,Noha Lim,M. Stahly,M. Howell,Stuart J. Knechtle,Allan D. Kirk,W. H. Marks,Tatsuo Kawai,Thomas R. Spitzer,Nina Tolkoff-Rubin,Megan Sykes,David H. Sachs,Cosimi Ab,William J. Burlingham,Deborah Phippard,Laurence A. Turka +22 more
TL;DR: The notion that alterations in B cells may be a common theme for tolerant kidney transplant recipients is supported, and that it is a useful monitoring tool in prospective trials is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
How should we measure proportionality on relative gene expression data
Ionas Erb,Cedric Notredame +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that using an unchanged gene as a reference has huge advantages in terms of sensitivity and the link between proportionality and partial correlation and derive expressions for a partial proportionality coefficient is explored.

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.
