Validation and use of a parametric model for projecting cystic fibrosis survivorship beyond observed data: a birth cohort analysis
(BMJ Group, 2011-07-22)Background: The current lifetable approach to survival estimation is favoured by CF registries. Recognising the limitation of this approach, we examined the utility of a parametric survival model to project birth cohort ... -
Vegetated Habitats Trophically Support Early Development Stages of a Marine Migrant Fish in a Coastal Lagoon
(2020)Understanding the trophic ecology of early developmental stages of commercial fish species migrating between sea and coastal lagoons is crucial to effective management of nursery habitats and resulting resources. While ... -
Vultures acquire information on carcass location from scavenging eagles
(2014)Vultures are recognized as the scroungers of the natural world, owing to their ecological role as obligate scavengers. While it is well known that vultures use intraspecific social information as they forage, the possibility ... -
What factors shape rates of phenotypic evolution? A comparative study of cranial morphology of four mammalian clades
(2009)Understanding why rates of morphological evolution vary is a major goal in evolutionary biology. Classical work suggests that body size, interspecific competition, geographic range size and specialisation may all be ... -
WlzWarp: An Open-Source Tool for Complex Alignment of Spatial Data
(2022)Background: The spatio-temporal organisation of many biological processes such as gene-expression and neuronal activity is critical to understanding the overall biological behaviour, phenotype and disease. This is ...
