Problems and Progress regarding Sex Bias and Omission in Neuroscience Research
ENEURO, 4(6).
author keywords: Animal models; journals; neuroscience; sex bias; sex omission
MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Male; Mice; Neurosciences; Rats; Sexism / statistics & numerical data; Sexism / trends
TL;DR:

A spatial model for rare binary events
ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECOLOGICAL STATISTICS, 24(4), 485–504.
author keywords: Ecology; Extreme value analysis; Generalized linear model; Max-stable process; Occupancy
TL;DR:
This paper proposes a method for rare binary data that builds on spatial extreme value theory and finds some evidence that for very rare data the max-stable extension provides an improvement in spatial prediction compared to Gaussian models.

A Bayesian mixture model for clustering and selection of feature occurrence rates under mean constraints
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND DATA MINING, 10(6), 393–409.
author keywords: Bayesian nonparametrics; count data; feature selection; Poisson mixture; text analysis
TL;DR:
This paper proposes a zero‐inflated Poisson mixture modeling framework that incorporates a model‐based normalization through prior distributions with mean constraints, as well as a feature selection mechanism, which allows it to identify a parsimonious set of discriminatory features, and simultaneously cluster the samples into homogenous groups.

Metabolomics reveal physiological changes in mayfly larvae (Neocloeon triangulifer) at ecological upper thermal limits
JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY, 101, 107–112.
author keywords: Aquatic insects; Mayfly; Thermal limits; Metabolomics; Temperature
MeSH headings : Animals; Ecosystem; Ephemeroptera / growth & development; Ephemeroptera / physiology; Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry; Hot Temperature / adverse effects; Larva / growth & development; Larva / physiology; Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; Metabolome; Metabolomics
TL;DR:
A metabolomics approach was used to gain insights into physiological changes associated with a short-term, sublethal thermal challenge in the mayfly Neocloeon triangulifer and limited evidence of anaerobic metabolism was observed in the heat treated larvae at 30°C, a temperature that is chronically lethal to larvae.

Canine scent detection of canine cancer: a feasibility study
Veterinary Medicine: Research and Reports, Volume 8, 69–76.
author keywords: urinary tract cancer; cancer detection dogs; cancer odor; olfactory memory; multiple sample learning
TL;DR:
The study illustrates the need to consider canine olfactory memory and the use of double-blind methods to avoid erroneous conclusions regarding the ability of dogs to alert on specimens from canine cancer patients and suggests that sample storage, confounding odors, and other factors need to be considered in the design of future studies that evaluate the detection of canine cancers by scent detection dogs.
