Still, it is essential for test developers to thoroughly justify the need for a new test and demonstrate the soundness of their proposed measure. The scientific community does not welcome a proliferation of poorly conceived tests that generate more confusion than clarity. To effectively persuade reade...
(coloured by sex, grey if combining sexes). GLM estimates ofP-values for model terms are included next to trend lines or in panel headings. Headings indicate the lowest known taxonomic identity of the OTU. OTUs presented here were chosen to illustrate several distinct patterns: (a) overall ...
Shrublands are the main vegetation component in the Gobi region and contribute considerably to its ecosystem. Accurately classifying individual shrub vegetation species to understand their spatial distributions and to effectively monitor species diversit
In an object-oriented system, the identity of an object is a hidden, system-managed attribute. Programs cannot directly access or manipulate the value of this attribute. However, one can compare the identities of two object instance variables to see if they indeed refer to the same object ...
Among mammals living in social groups, individuals form communication networks where they signal their identity and social status, facilitating social interaction. In spite of its importance for understanding of mammalian societies, the coding of individ
In particular, we are pleased about their emphasis on the oft-neglected idea that selection for traits that reveal individual identity might have an important impacton the evolution and maintenance of phenotypic diversity. We do, however, take issue with the definition of IR advocated by Tibbetts ...
The term ‘quorum sensing’ (QS) is generally used to describe the phenomenon that bacteria release and perceive signal molecules to coordinate cooperative behaviour in response to their population size. QS-based communication has therefore been consider
Dreams become a part of our identity and influence how we interact with our world and how it interacts with us. Ironically, this staunchly pioneer woman wasn’t real in the sense that I could find her gravestone in Nebraska. But she was real in every other sense of the word. I ached...
Even though this approach is certainly interesting, we prefer a second approach focused on social identity (Gioia et al.2000). According to social identity, much of what determines identity on the individual level is affected by the relationship to others, impacting a person’s set of beliefs,...
The discrepancy of the scores on responses to negatively and positively worded items has led to hypotheses of inattention, confusion, difficulty, and diffe
