Abstract We all have experiences in which it “seems clear” to us that something is true. This kind of clear experience can play significant roles in determining whether we believe something to be true. But what are the significant roles? So far, the literature has focused on optimal cases where a person's clear experience might provide prima facie ...

Isabelline coloration: a heretofore unrecognized chromatic aberration in bighorn sheep
Coloration is among the characteristics noted first by observers, and color has a strong influence on how animals are perceived. Abnormal coloration has been reported in a variety of taxa, but less frequently among mammals than other classes of ...

Glowing Green: A Quantitative Analysis of Photoluminescence in Six North American Bat Species
We provide a quantitative analysis to confirm visual observations of UV‐induced photoluminescence in six North American bat species. We observed green photoluminescence on the wings, uropatagium, and hind limbs of all 60 museum specimens examined. Our results suggest the potential for photoluminescence to be homologous in origin among the species we ...

Homozygosity in piebald trait. [PDF]
A severely affected child born to consanguineous parents is interpreted as being a homozygote for the dominantly inherited piebald trait. The striking phenotypic difference between the parents and the child implies intermediate inheritance of this condition, and the family also illustrates that consanguinity should not always be taken to indicate ...
