Ecological surprises, substantial and unanticipated changes in the abundance of one or more species that result from previously unsuspected processes, are a common outcome of both experiments and observations in community and population ecology. Here, we give examples of such surprises along with the results of a survey of well-established field ecologists, most of whom have encountered one or more surprises over the course of their careers. Truly surprising results are common enough to require their consideration in any reasonable effort to characterize nature and manage natural resources. We classify surprises as dynamic-, pattern-, or intervention-based, and we speculate on …


A Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis Of The Cerebellar Deficit Hypothesis Of Dyslexia, Michelle Y. Kibby, Jill B. Fancher, Rochelle Markanen, George W. Hynd Apr 2008

A Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis Of The Cerebellar Deficit Hypothesis Of Dyslexia, Michelle Y. Kibby, Jill B. Fancher, Rochelle Markanen, George W. Hynd

Recent work by Nicolson and Fawcett suggests the primary source of dysfunction in dyslexia is the cerebellum. In order to examine the cerebellar deficit hypothesis of dyslexia, 20 children with dyslexia (11 had co-morbid ADHD) and 20 without dyslexia (11 had ADHD, 9 were typically developing controls) were assessed with neuropsychological testing and quantitative MRI. Results demonstrated that volumes of both hemispheres and the vermis were not significantly different between groups (ps > .10). However, children without dyslexia demonstrated greater rightward cerebellar hemisphere asymmetry compared to children with dyslexia, F(1,33) = 4.09, p < .05. In addition, children with ADHD only were more comparable to controls in cerebellar asymmetry (none had reversed asymmetry); whereas those with co-morbid dyslexia and ADHD were more comparable to those with dyslexia. The relationship between cerebellar morphology and phonological processing also was assessed. For those without dyslexia, bilateral hemisphere volume moderately correlated with phonological awareness and phonological short-term memory (ps < .05); hemisphere asymmetry moderately correlated with rapid naming errors (p.10), anterior vermis volume was moderately correlated with inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity (ps < .05) and right hemisphere volume was moderately correlated with inattention and hyperactivity (ps < .05). Overall, our findings provide mixed support for the cerebellar deficit hypothesis of dyslexia. Although cerebellum morphology is atypical in some individuals with dyslexia, cerebellar morphology does not appear to be related to cognitive or motor dysfunction consistently. In our sample, cerebellum morphology may be related to about a third of our cases of dyslexia. Hence, dyslexia may be best accounted for by a combination of cortical and cerebellar contributions.


Markov Chain Monte Carlo Estimation Of Normal Ogive Irt Models In Matlab, Yanyan Sheng Apr 2008

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Estimation Of Normal Ogive Irt Models In Matlab, Yanyan Sheng

Publications

Modeling the interaction between persons and items at the item level for binary response data, item response theory (IRT) models have been found useful in a wide variety of applications in various fields. This paper provides the requisite information and description of software that implements the Gibbs sampling procedures for the one-, two- and three-parameter normal ogive models. The software developed is written in the MATLAB package IRTuno. The package is flexible enough to allow a user the choice to simulate binary response data, set the number of total or burn-in iterations, specify starting values or prior distributions for model …
