Could elementary mathematics textbooks help give attention to reasons in the classroom? (2006)
Journal Article
Newton, D., & Newton, L. (2006). Could elementary mathematics textbooks help give attention to reasons in the classroom?. Educational Studies in Mathematics, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10649-005-9015-z

Trainee teachers, new and non-specialist teachers of elementary mathematics have a tendency to avoid thought about reasons in mathematics. Instead, they tend to favour the development of computational skill through the rote application of procedures,...

Haematology of a semi-free-ranging colony of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx). (2006)
Journal Article
Setchell, J., Tshipamba, P., Bourry, O., Rouquet, P., Wickings, E., & Knapp, L. (2006). Haematology of a semi-free-ranging colony of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx). International Journal of Primatology, 27(6), 1709-1729

We examined hematological parameters for a semifree-ranging population of mandrills to investigate the influence of age and sex, and to establish normative values for age-sex classes. We also investigated the influence of the reproductive cycle on he... Read More about Haematology of a semi-free-ranging colony of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx)..

Monitoring snowmelt across the Arctic forest-tundra ecotone using Synthetic Aperture Radar (2006)
Journal Article
Dean, A., Brown, I., Huntley, B., & Thomas, C. (2006). Monitoring snowmelt across the Arctic forest-tundra ecotone using Synthetic Aperture Radar. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 27(19), 4347-4370

Detailed snowpack observations, meteorology, topography and landcover classification were integrated with multi-temporal SAR data to assess its capability for landscape scale snowmelt mapping at the forest-tundra ecotone. At three sites along an appr... Read More about Monitoring snowmelt across the Arctic forest-tundra ecotone using Synthetic Aperture Radar.

Secondary sexual characters and female quality in primates. (2006)
Journal Article
Setchell, J., Charpentier, M., Bedjabaga, I., Reed, P., Wickings, E., & Knapp, L. (2006). Secondary sexual characters and female quality in primates. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 61(2), 305-315. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-006-0260-7

Honest advertisement models of sexual selection propose that exaggerated secondary sexual ornaments are condition-dependent, and that only individuals with superior disease resistance will be able to express costly ornamentation. Studies of secondary... Read More about Secondary sexual characters and female quality in primates..
