The effect of prenatal environment on brain mitochondrial function and prey detection in a lizard

Abstract The ability to detect prey is crucial for survival in many animals. However, prey detection is a cognitive process that can be influenced by early life conditions such as prenatal stress or temperature. Mitochondrial function is likely to underlie these effects because c...

Mastering a simulation-based parametric method to obtain bias-corrected point estimates and sampling variance for effect sizes

Abstract Meta-analyses require an effect-size estimate and its corresponding sampling variance from primary studies. For some effect size statistics, however, estimators of sampling variance are unavailable, requiring new derivations. Traditionally, such formulas are obtained usi...
