Sentence examples for multiple-choice experiments from inspiring English sources

In this work we report on our multiple-choice experiments performed in the field with several other European freshwater chironomid species.

Flies were separated by sex within three days of eclosion to ensure virginity and were kept in sex-specific groups of 5 to 10 in fresh food vials until sexually mature, 21-28 days post-eclosion (except for multiple-choice experiments, where flies were kept in groups of 30-35 individuals).

Boldface denotes the best model according to maximum log likelihood The results of Experiment 1 suggest that the effects of increasing the number of choice alternatives in the RDM task are at odds with the typical finding from multiple-choice experiments that the logarithm of the number of alternatives determines MRT.

The role of sediment organic matter composition in larval habitat selection by the polychaete Capitella sp. I was investigated using a still water multiple-choice experiment.

In a multiple choice experiment the mating behaviour can be disentangled into sexual isolation and selection effects [ 7].

We provide two example data sets [ Additional file 1]: Example 1 is from a descriptive study made in the wild [ 12], where two morphs of Littorina saxatilis (RB and SU) meet and hybridize on some micro-habitats from the rocky shore; Example 2 was obtained from a multiple choice experiment in the laboratory using two species of Drosophila (Table 2a in [ 6]).

In the multiple-choice cage experiment, only a few test plant species outside the genus Potentilla were accepted; however, eggs were laid on the majority of test plant species within the genus Potentilla.

I consider statistical problems in the analysis of multiple-choice food-preference experiments, and propose a univariate analysis of variance design for experiments of this type.

I PSI values ranged between 0.132 and 0.310 and while no-choice mating trials (Experiment 1) did not yield significant estimates of sexual isolation, female- and multiple-choice trials did (Experiments 2 and 3, respectively), illustrating the importance of mate choice experimental design in testing for possible sexual isolation between closely related taxa.

Using mass-bred populations from Oulanka and Vancouver, we carried out no-choice, female-choice and multiple-choice mating trials (Experiments 1, 2 and 3, respectively) to measure the strength of premating isolation between the flies of the study populations.

Finally, although initial test performance in the confidence-weighted multiple-choice condition in Experiment 2 is numerically lower than that observed in Experiment 1 (M = 4.82 and 4.16), we believe this difference is due to the large variability in the scores, which is greatly affected by marking even a single highly confident but incorrect answer.
