The neuroanatomical basis of the Gambler's fallacy: A univariate and multivariate morphometric study [PDF]
AbstractHuman decision‐making can be irrational, as in the case of the gambler's fallacy (GF). Converging evidence from behavioral and functional neuroimaging studies has suggested that a hyperactive cognitive system and a hypo‐active affective system contribute to the false world model that generates the GF.

Taxonomic relationships in Terebratulina (Brachiopoda) established by multivariate morphometrics.
Three morphologically-similar species of Terebratulina can be discriminated by means of a battery of multivariate statistical techniques applied to seven shell traits on 12 sample sets. T. retusa and T. unguicula are most alike morphometrically, whereas T. septentrionalis is equally distant from both of those species. In the light of existing molecular

Egg shape changes at the theropod–bird transition, and a morphometric study of amniote eggs [PDF]
The eggs of amniotes exhibit a remarkable variety of shapes, from spherical to elongate and from symmetrical to asymmetrical. We examine eggshell geometry in a diverse sample of fossil and living amniotes using geometric morphometrics and linear ...
