Effects of vegetation and background noise on the detection process in auditory avian point-count surveys
AUK, 125(3), 600–607.
author keywords: aural detections; background noise; detection probability; habitat effects; point counts; population indices
TL;DR:
The large differences in detection probabilities among species suggest that tailoring monitoring protocols to specific species of interest may produce better estimates than a single protocol applied to a wide range of species.

author keywords: capture-recapture experiment; discrete and continuous time Markov process; uniformization; transition probability matrix; multinomial distribution; maximum likelihood estimation; population size estimation
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Animals; Biometry / methods; Computer Simulation; Ecology / methods; Likelihood Functions; Markov Chains; Models, Statistical; Population Density; Time Factors
TL;DR:
A four-state discrete time Markov process is proposed, which describes the structure of a marking-capture experiment as a method of population estimation and provides a mark-recapture estimate from a single trap observation by allowing subjects to mark themselves.

Biochemical and functional evidence of p53 homology is inconsistent with molecular phylogenetics for distant sequences
JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR EVOLUTION, 67(1), 51–67.
author keywords: p53; p63; p73; beta-Sandwich; transcription factor; p731
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods / genetics; DNA-Binding Proteins / classification; Evolution, Molecular; Genes, p53; Mollusca / genetics; Nematoda / genetics; Nuclear Proteins / classification; Phylogeny; Sequence Homology, Amino Acid; Tumor Protein p73; Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 / chemistry; Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 / classification; Tumor Suppressor Proteins / classification; Urochordata / genetics
TL;DR:
The study shows that the biochemical and functional evidence of p53 homology for nematodes, arthropods, and protists is inconsistent with their implied phylogenetic relationship within the overall family, and suggests that p63 is a far more appropriate protein for comparison.

Genomewide association for schizophrenia in the CATIE study: results of stage 1
Molecular Psychiatry, 13(6), 570–584.
author keywords: schizophrenia; genomewide association; CATIE
MeSH headings : Antipsychotic Agents / therapeutic use; Case-Control Studies; Computational Biology; DNA / genetics; DNA / isolation & purification; Genetic Markers; Genetic Variation; Genome, Human; Genotype; Humans; National Institute of Mental Health (U.S.); Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Schizophrenia / drug therapy; Schizophrenia / genetics; United States
TL;DR:
These data do not provide evidence for the involvement of any genomic region with schizophrenia detectable with moderate sample size, however, a planned genomewide association study for response phenotypes and inclusion of individual phenotype and genotype data from this study in meta-analyses hold promise for eventual identification of susceptibility and protective variants.
