Variance Components based models are commonly used for linkage and association mapping of quantitative traits. Score Tests based on these models are generally more robust to various modeling assumptions than the corresponding likelihood ratio tests. They are also computationally much simpler...

Energy intake rates of wintering deer vary over time because of variation in the abundance and quality of their natural foods. Accordingly, there is a chance that energy requirements will not be satisfied in a feeding period. This is especially critical because deer are reproductive during...

Evolutionary Psychology (EP) views the human mind as organized into many modules, each underpinned by psychological adaptations designed to solve problems faced by our Pleistocene ancestors. It is argued that the key tenets of the established EP paradigm require modification in the light of...
