In the third experiment, participants framed hypotheses for assessing job suitability and defined the task of testing these hypotheses. Participants framed hypotheses in terms of those attributes whose presence would confirm the hypotheses and defined the hypothesis-testing task as one of preferentially ...
For anchored hybrid enrichment, 215 mosquito species were received from collaborators, as well as samples collected by NEON (neonscience.org). All specimens were legally collected in and exported from their countries of origin. Most specimens received were whole insects; in a few cases, previous ...
The aim of the present study is to test empirically the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis for 42 Romanian counties over the 2000-2014 period. Specifically, we investigate the existence of an inverted U-shaped curve relationship between residential built-up land and economic development in...
This work presents a 4-month-long experiment intended to measure how smartphones influence sleep quality. We collect the following metrics during the experiment to gain more insight into this relationship. Firstly, we use a wearable sleep-tracking ring to collect sleep quality, quantity, and indivi...
Metabolomics is a widely used technology in academic research, yet its application to regulatory science has been limited. The most commonly cited barrier to its translation is lack of performance and reporting standards. The MEtabolomics standaRds Initiative in Toxicology (MERIT) project brings together...
Testing for genetic effects on mean values of a quantitative trait has been a very successful strategy. However, most studies to date have not explored genetic effects on the variance of quantitative traits as a relevant consequence of genetic variation. In this report, we demonstrate that, under...
Distance-based redundancy analysis (db-RDA), a recently developed ordination technique useful for both multivariate hypothesis testing and data interpretation, was used to evaluate treatment effects on weed communities in a long-term study of alternative potato cropping systems. The experiment consisted ...
Valuable dried type specimens (herbarium materials) have been preserved in fungaria and this allows for re-examination, which is a requirement of any reliable science. Epitypification was established to resolve the taxonomic problems when the type material is ambiguous, in poor condition or has ...
Indeed, after reporting these lay theories, participants then chose a beneficiary from the power hierarchy in which we placed them for the experiment. Another objective of Study 3 was to conceptually replicate the effects of context on beneficiary choice with a new form of prosocial behavior – ...
To characterize the patterns of wear left on wood from working and shaping with stone tools at Kalambo Falls, four transverse scraping experiments were performed at the University of Liverpool and a chopping experiment undertaken at the University of Liège, TraceoLab. Quartzite was used because of...
