Recently there has been a growing concern that many published research findings do not
hold up in attempts to replicate them. We argue that this problem may originate from a culture …

Context-dependent biological variation presents a unique challenge to the reproducibility of
results in experimental animal research, because organisms’ responses to experimental …

Meiotic drivers are genetic variants that selfishly manipulate the production of gametes to
increase their own rate of transmission, often to the detriment of the rest of the genome and the …

Fitting generalised linear models (GLMs) with more than one predictor has become the standard
