However, even when the effect of size is removed we found variation of more than two-fold in claw force potential across species.
Indeed, we found an inverse relationship between claw force production and both the frontal area of the claw divided by claw mass and the length of the claw divided by claw mass (with the effects of body size and phylogenetic relatedness removed; Figure 7).
Claws and Effect When I cooked on a charter yacht in the U.S., I wanted to bring back some steamer clams and Maine lobster for my brother, to convince him that New England seafood was the best.
If the cluster effect of claw trimmer was significant, claw trimmer was used as random effect and herd nested within claw trimmer.
Larry Powell, the deputy chief investment officer for the $16 billion Utah Retirement System, issued a memo in March to hedge funds, calling on managers to put in effect "claw-back" arrangements that force managers to return some of the fees they collected in prior years if they fail to perform in the current one.
The cluster effect within claw trimmer was only significant for heel horn erosions in front and hind claws and for white-line fissures in front claws.
Even though there was a lack of cluster effect within claw trimmer in our dairy-herd study we cannot exclude the possibility that different trimmers recording claw lesion might have biased the present result.
The cluster effect within claw trimmer was only significant for heel horn erosions.
The effect of claw trimming will be described in a later paper.
The effect of claw trimmer was low for most lesions and very low for CORK, indicating that differences in recording of claw colour and diseases between claw trimmers had minor effect on the outcome.
An effect of claw lesions on reproductive performance was also reported by De Pita (2010), Anil (2011) and Fitzgerald et al. (2012) but could not be shown by Enokida et al. (2011).
