Once upon Multivariate Analyses: When They Tell Several Stories about Biological Evolution
Geometric morphometrics aims to characterize of the geometry of complex traits. It is therefore by essence multivariate. The most popular methods to investigate patterns of differentiation in this context are (1) the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which is an eigenvalue decomposition of the total variance-covariance matrix among all specimens; (2) the Canonical Variate Analysis (CVA, a.k.a...
متن کاملDeep metazoan phylogeny: when different genes tell different stories.
Molecular phylogenetic analyses have produced a plethora of controversial hypotheses regarding the patterns of diversification of non-bilaterian animals. To unravel the causes for the patterns of extreme inconsistencies at the base of the metazoan tree of life, we constructed a novel supermatrix containing 122 genes, enriched with non-bilaterian taxa. Comparative analyses of this supermatrix an...
متن کاملAnimal Evolution: Once upon a Time
The evolutionary relationships between the earliest branches of the animal kingdom - bilaterians, cnidarians, ctenophores, sponges and placozoans - are contentious. A new phylogenomic analysis suggests a return to old ideas.
متن کاملOnce upon a time, there was a fabulous funambulist…: what children learn about the “high-level” vocabulary they encounter while listening to stories
Previous research has shown that listening to stories supports vocabulary growth in preschool and school-aged children and that lexical entries for even very difficult or rare words can be established if these are defined when they are first introduced. However, little is known about the nature of the lexical representations children form for the words they encounter while listening to stories,...
متن کاملSpike Correlations – What Can They Tell About Synchrony?
Sensory and cognitive processing relies on the concerted activity of large populations of neurons. The advent of modern experimental techniques like two-photon population calcium imaging makes it possible to monitor the spiking activity of multiple neurons as they are participating in specific cognitive tasks. The development of appropriate theoretical tools to quantify and interpret the spikin...
