We apply a new parameterized model through linking metabolic scaling and the maximum entropy theory of ecology to quantify the intraspecific metabolic scaling exponent of brown trout populations and assess the main drivers shaping the exponent. Abstract Metabolic scaling fundamentally sets the pace of life in almost all organisms.

Enhanced Contour‐Deviant Mismatch Negativity and Mnemonic Representations in Older Musicians
Data showed enhanced MMN amplitudes in aging adult musicians compared with nonmusicians. Given that enhancements in MMN responses may be an indicator of preserved sensory processing in aging, music training may insulate age‐related decreases in sensory processing through preserved fidelity of encoding auditory information.

ABSTRACT Introduction To address concerns about livestock as a source of antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria and genes, there have been many recent efforts worldwide to study prescribing practices, optimal antibiotic use, and alternatives to antibiotic use.

Transmission of the two parental alleles to offspring deviating from the Mendelian ratio is termed Transmission Ratio Distortion (TRD), occurs throughout gametic and embryonic development. TRD has been well-studied in animals, but remains largely unknown

Anthropogenic disturbance and trophic interactions mediate population viability of American martens
We present a simulation model of the probability of collapse to <10% of carrying capacity for American marten populations over a 50‐year time frame in relation to forest disturbance due to commercial harvesting and fur‐trapping levels. Probability of collapse differed between models that assumed no effect of logging (solid line), martens living in a ...

Mismatch negativity (MMN) and late discriminative negativity (LDN) were reliably elicited by pitch contour deviants across adulthood (18–86 years). MMN amplitude declined with age and predicted subsequent auditory memory precision, whereas LDN amplitude remained largely stable and showed no relationship with memory performance.

Rcapture: Loglinear Models for Capture-Recapture in R
This article introduces Rcapture, an R package for capture-recapture experiments. The data for analysis consists of the frequencies of the observable capture histories over the t capture occasions of the experiment. A capture history is a vector of zeros

Over the past decade, a series of procedures has been introduced to estimate, using a non-iterative method, the linear-by-linear association parameter of an ordinal log-linear model.

Don't rock the boat! Do men prefer women leaders who support the status quo?
Abstract Women remain underrepresented in leadership, particularly in traditionally masculine work settings. At the same time, the visibility of this imbalance has led to growing calls for diversifying leadership. This research examines how both men and women contribute to the preservation or disruption of gender inequality in masculine organizational ...

prefmod: An R Package for Modeling Preferences Based on Paired Comparisons, Rankings, or Ratings
The first part of this paper describes a series of loglinear preference models based on paired comparisons, a method of measurement whose aim is to order a set of objects according to an attribute of interest by asking subjects to compare pairs of ...
