Bootstrap confidence intervals for the contributions of individual variables to a Mahalanobis distance

, 2018
Hotelling's T 2 and Mahalanobis distance are widely used in the statistical analysis of multivariate data. When either of these quantities is large, a natural question is: How do individual variables contribute to its size?

Establishing updated haematological and biochemical reference intervals for urban brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Reference intervals (RIs) or reference ranges are crucial tools in clinical practice and research, aiding in the interpretation of laboratory test results by providing values expected in a healthy population. This paper provides haematology and biochemistry reference intervals and ranges established from a population of urban brushtail possums ...

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

How do parasites and predators choose their victim? A trade‐off between quality and vulnerability across antagonistic interactions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can
