Femoral site was chosen preferentially (n = 319, 53%), followed by jugular site (n = 256, 43%) and subclavian site (n = 23, 4%).
Previously we showed that these two species can produce viable offspring, and female hybrids demonstrate an extremely skewed X inactivation pattern, with the M. rossiaemeridionalis X chromosome being chosen preferentially as the inactive one in somatic tissues [38], [39].
Scores with greater AUROC were chosen preferentially over those with lower areas.
Whenever possible, nonchlorinated solvents were chosen preferentially to reduce chlorinated waste.
To determine salinity and temperature profiles, Sea-Bird data, which have better vertical resolution, were chosen preferentially over Hydrolab data; and when the Hydrolab reached a greater depth, we appended these additional measurements to the Sea-Bird profile.
Only one affected individual per multiplex family was chosen; preferentially IMGSAC Case Type One (clinical diagnosis of autism, meets ADI-R and ADOS or ADOS-G criteria for autism, history of language delay, and performance IQ of >35).
Sponsors with control over publication can decide which studies to submit, possibly choosing preferentially to submit favorable studies and thus biasing the overall literature on safety or efficacy (Blumenstyk 2003; Dickersin et al. 1992; Easterbrook et al. 1991; Goozner and DelViscio 2004).
Nestlings were exchanged within 36 triplets in total, and for logistic reasons (i.e. space constraint to run all the samples on one 384-well qPCR plate; see below) we restricted our analyses to 30 triplicates, choosing preferentially triplets with available data on 12-day-old nestlings in the three nests of the triplet.
Whilst the learning test allows verifying whether or not bees learned the discrimination task, the CS+ vs. NS test verified that the CS+ gained an excitatory associative strength leading the bees to choose it preferentially; the CS− vs. NS test, on the contrary, assesses whether or not the CS− has gained an inhibitory associative strength, leading the bees to avoid it and to prefer the NS.
They may choose to preferentially follow one source of information, they may take a mixed strategy, sometimes following one source and sometimes the other, or they may choose to ignore both information sources.
