Goodness‐of‐Fit Tests for Positive Quadrant Dependence

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary When two random variables are positive quadrant dependent (PQD), they are more likely to assume small (or large) values simultaneously compared with when the random variables are independent. This dependence structure is of interest in many areas, including finance, actuarial science and engineering.

Disentangling direct and indirect genetic pathways to neurodevelopmental risk: brain structure and behavior in a population‐based parent–offspring trio study

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are highly heritable, yet the pathways linking parental genetic liability to child outcomes remain poorly understood. Traditional designs cannot easily separate genes transmitted to the child from environmental influences shaped by parental genotypes.

When biology meets materials science – Interdisciplinary applications of electron microscopy

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Research at the interface between biology and materials science creates challenges for electron microscopists. Everything from the sample preparation to the choice of imaging and analytical techniques and the interpretation of the resulting data refuses to sit comfortably within the domain of one discipline or the other.

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Male size does not correlate with fertilization success in two bufonid toads that show size-assortative mating

Current Zoology, 2013
We examined sexual size dimorphism (SSD), mating pattern, fertilization efficiency and female reproductive traits in two bufonid toads (Bufo gargarizans and Duttaphrynus melanostictus) to test the idea that importance of male body size for egg ...

How I Met My Partner: Online Dating and the Homogamy Gap Between Same‐Sex and Different‐Sex Couples

Journal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examines whether online dating helps explain differences in homogamy between same‐sex and different‐sex couples in the United States. Background Same‐sex couples tend to exhibit lower levels of homogamy than different‐sex couples, yet the mechanisms underlying these differences remain unclear.

Mechanisms of species divergence through visual adaptation and sexual selection：Perspectives from a cichlid model system

Current Zoology, 2010
The theory of ecological speciation suggests that assortative mating evolves most easily when mating preferences are directly linked to ecological traits that are subject to divergent selection.

Attractiveness for Status? The Link Between Physical Attractiveness and Male Refugees' Romantic Relationships in Germany

Journal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examines the link between physical attractiveness and partnership outcomes among a group of young male refugees, drawing on Social Exchange Theory, which posits that individuals exchange valued traits—such as attractiveness—for higher status in other domains.
