    • Evidence for a bimodal distribution of hybrid indices in a hybrid zone with high admixture 

      McKenzie, Jessica L.; Dhillon, Rashpal S.; Schulte, Patricia M. (The Royal Society, 2015)
      The genetic structure of a hybrid zone can provide insights into the relative roles of the various factors that maintain the zone. Here, we use a multilocus approach to characterize a hybrid zone between two subspecies of ...
    • Evidence for a pervasive ‘idling-mode’ activity template in flying and pedestrian insects 

      Reynolds, Andrew M. (The Royal Society, 2015)
      Understanding the complex movement patterns of animals in natural environments is a key objective of ‘movement ecology’. Complexity results from behavioural responses to external stimuli but can also arise spontaneously ...

      Miller, Colin (Cali eLangdell Press, 2012)
      The Best Evidence Rule, contained in Article X of the Federal Rules of Evidence (Rules 1001-1008) and state counterparts, is a Rule that requires a party seeking to prove the contents of a writing, recording, or photograph ...

    • The evolution of popular music: USA 1960–2010 

      Mauch, Matthias (The Royal Society, 2015)
      In modern societies, cultural change seems ceaseless. The flux of fashion is especially obvious for popular music. While much has been written about the origin and evolution of pop, most claims about its history are anecdotal ...
    • Evolution: are themonkeys’ typewriters rigged? 

      R. Garvin, Michael; J. Gharrett, Anthony (2014)
      Evolution is presumed to proceed by random mutations, which increase an individual’s fitness. Increased fitness produces a higher survival rate for those individuals within populations and drives the variants to fixation ...
    • Evolutionary diversification of retinoic acid receptor ligand-binding pocket structure bymolecular tinkering 

      Gutierrez-Mazariegos, Juliana (2016)
      Whole genome duplications (WGDs) have been classically associated with the origin of evolutionary novelties and the so-called duplication–degeneration–complementation model describes the possible fates of genes after ...
    • Evolutionary origins and development of saw-teeth on the sawfish and sawshark rostrum 

      Welten, Monique; Smith, MoyaMeredith; Underwood, Charlie (2015)
      A well-known characteristic of chondrichthyans (e.g. sharks, rays) is their covering of external skin denticles (placoid scales), but less well understood is the wide morphological diversity that these skin denticles can ...
    • Exotic invaders gain foraging benefits by shoalingwith native fish 

      Camacho-Cervantes, Morelia; Macías, Garcia Constantino; Ojanguren, Alfredo F. (The Royal Society, 2014)
      Freshwater habitats are under increasing threat due to invasions of exotic fish. These invasions typically begin with the introduction of small numbers of individuals unfamiliar with the new habitat. Oneway in which the ...
    • Experimental evidence for convergent evolution of maternal care heuristics in industrialized and small-scale populations 

      Kushnick, Geoff; Hanowell, Ben; Kim, Jun Hong (2015)
      Maternal care decision rules should evolve responsiveness to factors impinging on the fitness pay-offs of care. Because the caretaking environments common in industrialized and small-scale societies vary in predictable ...
    • Experiments on torrefied wood pellet 

      Rollinson, Andrew N.; Williams, Orla (2016)
      Samples of torrefied wood pellet produced by low-temperature microwave pyrolysis were tested through a series of experiments relevant to present and near future waste to energy conversion technologies. Operational performance ...
    • Exploration adjustment Ants determine their next move at rest 

      Hunt, Edmund R.; Baddeley, Roland J.; Worley, Alan (2016)
      To find useful work to do for their colony, individual eusocial animals have to move, somehow staying attentive to relevant social information. Recent research on individual Temnothorax albipennis ants moving inside their ...
    • Exploration adjustment by ant colonies 

      Doran, Carolina; Stumpe, Martin C.; Sendova-Franks, Ana (2016)
      How do animals in groups organize their work? Division of labour, i.e. the process by which individuals within a group choose which tasks to perform, has been extensively studied in social insects. Variability among ...
    • Exploring Business 

      Collins, Karen (University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing, 2016)
      The author's goals in writing Exploring Business Version 2.0 were simple: (1) introduce students to business in an exciting way and (2) provide faculty with a fully developed teaching package that allows them to do the ...

    • Exploring the evolution of a trade off between vigilance and foraging in group living organisms 

      Olson, Randal S.; Haley, Patrick B.; Dyer, Fred C. (The Royal Society, 2015)
      Even though grouping behaviour has been actively studied for over a century, the relative importance of the numerous proposed fitness benefits of grouping remain unclear. We use a digital model of evolving prey under ...
    • Extragalactic background light measurements and applications

    • Eye spots in Lepidoptera attract attention in humans 

      Yorzinski, Jessica L. (The Royal Society, 2015)
      Many prey species exhibit defensive traits to decrease their chances of predation. Conspicuous eye-spots, concentric rings of contrasting colours, are one type of defensive trait that some species exhibit to deter predators. ...
