Testing the selective sequestration hypothesis: Monarch butterflies preferentially sequester plant defences that are less toxic to themselves while maintaining potency to others.

Ecology Letters, 2023
Herbivores that sequester toxins are thought to have cracked the code of plant defences. Nonetheless, coevolutionary theory predicts that plants should evolve toxic variants that also negatively impact specialists.

Assessing the Role of Selective Fossilization Hypothesis in Determining Fossilizable Phonetic Errors in Tunisian EFL Learners’ Oral Output

, 2020
Fossilization is said to be a distinctive characteristic of second language (L2) learning (Selinker, 1972, 1996; Han, 2004). It is the most pervasive among adult L2 learners (Han and Odlin, 2006).

Gray (Literature) Matters: Evidence of Selective Hypothesis Reporting in Social Psychological Research

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 2020
Selective reporting practices (SRPs)—adding, dropping, or altering study elements when preparing reports for publication—are thought to increase false positives in scientific research. Yet analyses of SRPs have been limited to self-reports or analyses of

Applying Popperian falsifiability to geodynamic hypotheses: empirical testing of the episodic crustal/zircon production hypothesis and selective preservation hypothesis

Soviet Economy, 2020
Even though Earth scientists widely recognize the episodic distribution of zircon ages, the cause of the episodes remains unresolved. Two competing explanations have emerged.

QEEG markers of superior shooting performance in skilled marksmen: An investigation of cortical activity on psychomotor efficiency hypothesis.

Psychology of Sport And Exercise, 2022
For elite performers, psychomotor behavior's success or failure can be traced to differences in brain dynamics. The psychomotor efficiency hypothesis suggests refined cortical activity through 1) selective activation of task-relevant processes and 2 ...

The Platonic Representation Hypothesis

International Conference on Machine Learning
We argue that representations in AI models, particularly deep networks, are converging. First, we survey many examples of convergence in the literature: over time and across multiple domains, the ways by which different neural networks represent data are

The Adipokine Hypothesis of Heart Failure With a Preserved Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American College of Cardiology
HYPOTHESIS The paper proposes a novel unifying hypothesis—that heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) arises primarily from the expansion and dysfunctional transformation of visceral adipose tissue, leading to the secretion of altered ...
