Caenorhabditis elegans foraging patterns follow a simple rule of thumb
Rules of thumb are behavioral algorithms that approximate optimal behavior while lowering cognitive and sensory costs. One way to reduce these costs...

Ten simple rules for providing bioinformatics support within a hospital
Bioinformatics has become a key aspect of the biomedical research programmes of many hospitals’ scientific centres, and the establishment of...

Fast estimation and choice of confidence interval methods for step regression
In this paper we propose a new fast grid search algorithm for finding the least square estimators of a step regression model. This algorithm makes it...

Comprehensive machine-learning-based analysis of microRNA–target interactions reveals variable transferability of interaction rules across species
BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally via base-pairing with complementary...

No food left behind: foraging route choices among free-ranging Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) in a multi-destination array at the Awajishima Monkey Center, Japan
Animals must make route choices every day when moving through their habitat while foraging. Choosing an optimal route can be cognitively costly, and...

Personalized modulation of coagulation factors using a thrombin dynamics model to treat trauma-induced coagulopathy
Current trauma-induced coagulopathy resuscitation protocols use slow laboratory measurements, rules-of-thumb, and clinician gestalt to administer...

Evolution of Hominids
Among the primates, one group stands out by a huge brain, short dental arcade without prominent canines, habitually upright body posture, absence of...

The 10% wind speed rule of thumb for estimating a wildfire’s forward rate of spread in forests and shrublands
Key message The collective analysis of a relatively large number of wildfire observations documented in conifer forests, dry eucalypt forests and...

Effects of tag mass on the physiology and behaviour of common noctule bats
BackgroundExternal tags, such as transmitters and loggers, are often used to study bat movements. However, physiological and behavioural effects on...

Prediction of the minimum effective size of a population viable in the long term
The establishment of the minimum size for a viable population (MVP) has been used as a guidance in conservation practice to determine the extinction...

Temporal stability of fecal cortisol metabolites in mountain-dwelling ungulates
Fecal cortisol metabolites (FCMs) are widely used to track stress responses in wildlife and captive species. Rules of thumb suggest that samples...

Evidence-based guidelines for greener, healthier, more resilient neighbourhoods: Introducing the 3–30–300 rule
The important contributions of urban trees and green spaces to for example, climate moderation and public health have been recognized. This paper...

Reformulation of Trivers–Willard hypothesis for parental investment
The Trivers-Willard hypothesis (TWH) plays a central role in understanding the optimal investment strategies to male and female offspring. Empirical...
