Comparison of methods for deriving phenotypes from incomplete observation data with an application to age at puberty in dairy cattle
BackgroundMany phenotypes in animal breeding are derived from incomplete measures, especially if they are challenging or expensive to measure...

Empirical evidence of widespread exaggeration bias and selective reporting in ecology
In many scientific disciplines, common research practices have led to unreliable and exaggerated evidence about scientific phenomena. Here we...

Initial evidence of research quality of registered reports compared with the standard publishing model
In registered reports (RRs), initial peer review and in-principle acceptance occur before knowing the research outcomes. This combats publication...

Stable isotopes, morphology, and body condition metrics suggest similarity in the trophic level and diversity in the carbon sources of freshwater and early marine diets of Chinook salmon
For anadromous fish entering the marine environment, we expect the probability of avoiding predation and starvation to increase with the quality...
