LARGE-SCALE PATTERNS OF GENETIC VARIATION IN A FEMALE-BIASED DISPERSING PASSERINE: THE IMPORTANCE OF SEX-BASED ANALYSES.

Large-scale patterns of genetic variation in a female-biased dispersing passerine: the importance of sex-based analyses.

Dispersal affects the distribution, dynamics and genetic structure of natural populations, and can be significantly different between sexes.However, literature records dealing with the dispersal of migratory birds are scarce, as migratory behaviour can notably complicate the study of dispersal.We used the barn swallow Hirundo rustica as model taxon

The choice of reference point for computing sagittal plane angular momentum affects inferences about dynamic balance

Background Measures of whole-body angular momentum in the sagittal plane are commonly used to characterize dynamic balance during human walking.To compute angular momentum, one must specify a reference point about which momentum is calculated.Although biomechanists primarily compute angular momentum about the spoon rsx center of mass (CoM), momentu
