Disparities in the analysis of morphological disparity [PDF]
Analyses of morphological disparity have been used to characterize and investigate the evolution of variation in the anatomy, function and ecology of organisms since the 1980s. While a diversity of methods have been employed, it is unclear whether they provide equivalent insights. Here, we review the most commonly used approaches for characterizing and

Discrete and continuous character-based disparity analyses converge to the same macroevolutionary signa. A case study from captorhinids [PDF]
The relationship between diversity and disparity during the evolutionary history of a clade provides unique insights into evolutionary radiations and the biological response to bottlenecks and to extinctions.

Hierarchical inference of disparity [PDF]
Disparity selective cells in V1 respond to the correlated receptive fields of the left and right retinae, which do not necessarily correspond to the same object in the 3D scene, i.e., these cells respond equally to both false and correct stereo matches ...

System approach to disparity estimation [PDF]
A system approach to disparity estimation using dynamic programming is presented. The four step system can calculate a dense correspondence map between a stereo pair with parallel or nonparallel camera geometry.

Disparities in defining disparities: Statistical conceptual frameworks [PDF]
AbstractMotivated by the need to meaningfully implement the Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) definition of health care disparity, this paper proposes statistical frameworks that lay out explicitly the needed causal assumptions for defining disparity measures.

Latitude and longitude vertical disparities [PDF]
The literature on vertical disparity is complicated by the fact that several different definitions of the term “vertical disparity” are in common use, often without a clear statement about which is intended or a widespread appreciation of the properties ...

Gender equity in soil science in Brazil: Still at the beginning of a long journey [PDF]
Current studies have highlighted a significant gender disparity in the field of soil science. However, the scarcity of research and data on this issue can hinder the urgent need to address it and effect meaningful changes.

Do cladistic and morphometric data capture common patterns of morphological disparity? [PDF]
The distinctly non-random diversity of organismal form manifests itself in discrete clusters of taxa that share a common body plan. As a result, analyses of disparity require a scalable comparative framework.
