Data from: Diagnosing depression in chronic pain patients: DSM-IV Major...
Background: Diagnosing depression in chronic pain is challenging due to overlapping somatic symptoms. In questionnaires, such as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), responses may be influenced more by...
View ArticleData from: The pupillary orienting response predicts adaptive behavioral...
Reaction time (RT) is commonly observed to slow down after an error. This post-error slowing (PES) has been thought to arise from the strategic adoption of a more cautious response mode following...
View ArticleData from: Chronic protein restriction in mice impacts placental function and...
Mechanisms of resource allocation are essential for maternal and fetal survival, particularly when the availability of nutrients is limited. We investigated the responses of feto-placental development...

Probabilistic prediction plays a crucial role in language comprehension. When predictions are fulfilled, the resulting facilitation allows for fast, efficient processing of ambiguous, rapidly-unfolding...

Peer review is the primary method by which journals evaluate the quality and importance of scientific papers. To help editors find suitable reviewers, many journals allow or require authors to suggest...
View ArticleData from: Integral Projection Models for host-parasite systems with an...
Host parasite models are typically constructed under either a microparasite or macroparasite paradigm. However, this has long been recognized as a false dichotomy because many infectious disease...
View ArticleData from: Threshold effect of habitat loss on bat richness in cerrado-forest...
Understanding how animal groups respond to contemporary habitat loss and fragmentation is essential for development of strategies for species conservation. Until now, there has been no consensus about...
View ArticleData from: A Bayesian approach for detecting the impact of mass-extinction...
The paleontological record chronicles numerous episodes of mass extinction that severely culled the Tree of Life. Biologists have long sought to assess the extent to which these events may have...
View ArticleData from: Improving automated annotation of benthic survey images using...
Large-scale imaging techniques are used increasingly for ecological surveys. However, manual analysis can be prohibitively expensive, creating a bottleneck between collected images and desired...
View ArticleData from: Predicting gene function from uncontrolled expression variation...
Gene expression profiling studies are usually performed on pooled samples grown under tightly controlled experimental conditions to suppress variability among individuals and increase experimental...
View ArticleData from: How well can we detect lineage-specific diversification-rate...
Evolutionary biologists have long been fascinated by the extreme differences in species numbers across branches of the Tree of Life. This has motivated the development of statistical methods for...
View ArticleData from: Sex ratio and gamete size across eastern North America in...
Theory indicates that numbers of mating types should tend towards infinity or remain at two. The social amoeba, Dictyostelium discoideum, however, has three mating types. It is therefore a mystery how...
View ArticleData from: Nectar robbing impacts pollinator behavior but not plant reproduction
Trait-mediated indirect effects (TMIEs) refer to interactions in which the effect of one species on another is mediated by the behavior of a third species. A mechanistic approach that identifies the...
View ArticleData from: Combining statistical inference and decisions in ecology
Statistical decision theory (SDT) is a sub-field of decision theory that formally incorporates statistical investigation into a decision-theoretic framework to account for uncertainties in a decision...
View ArticleData from: Conditional vulnerability of plant diversity to atmospheric...
Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has been shown to decrease plant species richness along regional deposition gradients in Europe and in experimental manipulations. However, the general response of...
View ArticleData from: Arboreal ecology of Plethodontidae: a review
Lungless salamanders in the family Plethodontidae are widely distributed and the most diverse lineage of caudates. Plethodontids occupy forested and freshwater habitats, where they can achieve...
View ArticleData from: Evolutionary patterns of shape and functional diversification in...
The robust skull and highly subdivided adductor mandibulae muscles of triggerfishes provide an excellent system within which to analyze the evolutionary processes underlying phenotypic diversification....
View ArticleData from: A phylogeographical survey of a highly dispersive spider reveals...
Aim: The phylogeographical history of wide-ranging Palaearctic species is not well understood. Here, we present a range-wide phylogeographical study of the wasp spider, Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli,...
View ArticleData from: Multi-locus sequence data reveal a new species of coral reef goby...
Here, multi-locus sequence data are coupled with observations of live colouration to recognize a new species, Eviota punyit from the Coral Triangle, Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Relaxed molecular clock...
View ArticleData from: Morphometric analysis of graphoglyptid trace fossils in two...
Graphoglyptids are deep-marine trace fossils, often found preserved as casts in positive relief on the base of turbidites. Previous analyses of the behavioral evolution of graphoglyptids suggested they...
