I model mate choice with costly female competition for mates using a population genetic model with haploid loci and discrete non-overlapping generations, based on previous models of sexual selection via female choice [ 22].
They concluded that the amidships gun turret was an unsatisfactory choice, based on previous experiences with blast damage on battleships from the 1880s.
Prior choice based on previous analysis, particularly meta-analysis, has been emerging as a reliable and powerful tool in Bayesian statistics (Congdon, 2006).
The interview sample size was methodologically adequate [ 19] but the relatively small number of records reviewed was a pragmatic choice, based on previous experience [ 15].
This choice of k was based on previous experience, but was probably not the optimal choice.
Apart from resources limitation, our choice was based on previous observations on the time-course of the studied animal model [12].
This choice was based on previous observations showing no metabolic, immune-endocrine and behavioral evidence of stress activation or anxiety in group-housed siblings (see [33], [34], [80] for details).
This choice is based on previous studies [ 8, 10] and information by model simulations on the profile of the distribution of pollutant emitted by plants.
This choice was based on previous work on the time course of transcriptional changes following exercise [ 25, 26], and represents early and late recovery to acute RE respectively.
