The missing metric: quantifying contributions of reviewers
(The Royal Society, 2015)The number of contributing reviewers often outnumbers the authors of publications. This has led to apathy towards reviewing and the conclusion that the peer-review system is broken. Given the trade-offs between submitting ... -
Mitigating the Goldilocks effect
(2014)In ichnology, the Goldilocks effect describes a scenario in which a substrate must be ‘just right’ in order for tracks to form—too soft, the animal will be unable to traverse the area, and too firm, the substrate will not ... -
Mix it and fix it
(2016)Animals communicating via scent often deposit composite signals that incorporate odorants from multiple sources however, the function of mixing chemical signals remains understudied. We tested both a ‘multiple-messages’ ... -
Modality specific attention in foraging bumblebees
(The Royal Society, 2015)Attentional demands can prevent humans and other animals from performing multiple tasks simultaneously. Some studies, however, show that tasks presented in different sensory modalities (e.g. visual and auditory) can be ... -
A model of muscle atrophy based on livemicroscopy of muscle remodelling in Drosophila metamorphosis
(2016)Genes controlling muscle size and survival play important roles in muscle wasting diseases. In Drosophila melanogaster metamorphosis, larval abdominal muscles undergo two developmental fates. While a doomed population is ... -
Modelling humanmobility patterns using photographic data shared online
(2015)Humans are inherently mobile creatures. The way we move around our environment has consequences for a wide range of problems, including the design of efficient transportation systems and the planning of urban areas. Here, ... -
Modelling mass and heat transfer in nano-based cancer hyperthermia
(2015)Department of Mechanical Engineering andMaterials Science, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA 2 Department of Translational Imaging, HoustonMethodist Research Institute, Houston, TX, USA 3 Modeling and Scientific ... -
Modelling the species jump
(The Royal Society, 2015)The scientific understanding of the driving factors behind zoonotic and pandemic influenzas is hampered by complex interactions between viruses, animal hosts and humans. This complexity makes identifying influenza viruses ... -
Models of fertilization kinetics
(2015)Fertilization functions describe how the number of realized fertilizations depends on gamete numbers or density. They provide insight into the fertilization process, and are important components in models on the evolution ... -
Modern Pastry and Plated Dessert Techniques
(Campus Manitoba, 2016)Modern Pastry and Plated Dessert Techniques is one of a series of Culinary Arts books developed to support the training of students and apprentices in British Columbia’s food service and hospitality industry. Although ... -
Modern Philosophy
(Campus Manitoba, 2015)This is a textbook (or better, a worKBook) in modern philosophy. It combines readings from primary sources with two pedagogical tools. Paragraphs in italics introduce figures and texts. Numbered study questions (also in ... -
Molecular identification of Oesophagostomumspp
(2015)Oesophagostomumspp. are parasitic nematodes of mammals, including humans and other primates. To identify species and determine phylogeny, we analysed DNA sequences of adult and larvalOesophagostomumfrom wild chimpanzees ... -
Money and Banking
(The Saylor Foundation, 2012)The financial crisis of 2007-8 has already revolutionized institutions, markets, and regulation. Wright's Money and Banking V 2.0 captures those revolutionary changes and packages them in a way that engages undergraduates ... -
Morphological adaptation of the calamistrum to the cribellate spinning process in Deinopoidae
(2016)Spiders are famous for their silk with fascinating mechanical properties. However, some can further produce, process and handle nano fibres, which are used as capture threads. These ‘cribellate spiders’ bear a specialized ... -
Morphological and functional changes in the vertebral columnwith increasing aquatic adaptation in crocodylomorphs
(2015)The lineage leading to modern Crocodylia has undergone dramatic evolutionary changes in morphology, ecology and locomotion over the past 200+Myr. These functional innovations may be explained in part by morphological changes ... -
Morphological plasticity in a calcifyingmodular organism
(2015)Understanding is currently limited of the biological processes underlying the responses of modular organisms to climate change and the potential to adapt through morphological plasticity related to their modularity. Here, ... -
Multiple behavioural morphological and cognitive developmental changes arise froma single alteration
(2016)Subtle variations in early rearing environment influence morphological, cognitive and behavioural processes that together impact on adult fitness. We manipulated habitat complexity experienced by young pheasants (Phasianus ... -
Multiple stage decisions in amarine central place forager
(2016)Air-breathing marine animals face a complex set of physical challenges associated with diving that affect the decisions of how to optimize feeding. Baleen whales (Mysticeti) have evolved bulk-filter feeding mechanisms to ... -
Multitasking during social interactions in adolescence and early adulthood
(The Royal Society, 2015)Multitasking is part of the everyday lives of both adolescents and adults. We often multitask during social interactions by simultaneously keeping track of other non-social information. Here, we examined how keeping track ... -
