The Elephant in the Room [PDF]

Cell Metabolism, 2015
Scientific reproducibility in biological sciences has recently moved front and center, and at its heart lies experimental replication. The mounting number of sensational reports of irreproducibility and the dramatic estimates of ensuing economic burden that have been making headlines are an embarrassment to us all, even if the reports likely represent ...

Elephant cognition in primate perspective [PDF]

, 2009
On many of the staple measures of comparative psychology, elephants show no obvious differences from other mammals, such as primates: discrimination learning, memory, spontaneous tool use, etc. However, a range of more naturalistic measures have recently

Skeletal pathology and variable anatomy in elephant feet assessed using computed tomography [PDF]

, 2017
Foot problems are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in elephants, but are underreported due to difficulties in diagnosis, particularly of conditions affecting the bones and internal structures. Here we evaluate post-mortem computer tomographic (CT)

Shoulder height, body mass and shape of proboscideans [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016
In recent decades there has been a growing interest in proboscideans’ body size, given that mass is highly correlated with biological functions. Different allometric equations have been proposed in the recent decades to estimate their body masses, based ...

The Elephant in the Room

CoRR, 2018
We showcase a family of common failures of state-of-the art object detectors. These are obtained by replacing image sub-regions by another sub-image that contains a trained object. We call this "object transplanting". Modifying an image in this manner is shown to have a non-local impact on object detection.

BITS: A Bayesian Isotope Turnover and Sampling model for strontium isotopes in proboscideans and its potential utility in movement ecology

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) of incrementally grown tissues have been widely used to study movement ecology and migration of animals. However, the time scale of 87Sr/86Sr incorporation from the environment into tissue and how it may influence ...
