Novel Longitudinal and Propensity Score Matched Analysis of Hands-On Cooking and Nutrition Education versus Traditional Clinical Education among 627 Medical Students.

Advances in preventive medicine

Monlezun DJ, Leong B, Joo E, Birkhead AG, Sarris L, Harlan TS.
PMID: 26435851
Adv Prev Med. 2015;2015:656780. doi: 10.1155/2015/656780. Epub 2015 Sep 08.

Background. Physicians are inadequately equipped to respond to the global obesity and nutrition-associated chronic disease epidemics. We investigated superiority of simulation-based medical education with deliberate practice (SBME-DP) hands-on cooking and nutrition elective in a medical school-based teaching kitchen versus...

Copulation rate and sperm use by female bearded tits, Panurus biarmicus.

Animal behaviour

Sax A, Hoi H, Birkhead TR.
PMID: 9819336
Anim Behav. 1998 Nov;56(5):1199-1204. doi: 10.1006/anbe.1998.0859.

We examined functional and mechanistic aspects of sperm competition in the bearded tit by determining (1) the variation in copulation rate between birds breeding alone or with other males present, and (2) the number of sperm present in the...

Female control of paternity.

Trends in ecology & evolution

Birkhead T, Møller A.
PMID: 21236119
Trends Ecol Evol. 1993 Mar;8(3):100-4. doi: 10.1016/0169-5347(93)90060-3.

Of the two components of sexual selection, female choice is much less obvious than male-male competition, and hence has always been considered to be of secondary importance. However, recent field observations and new theory have brought about a radical...

Recommendations for Methodology of Virtual Reality Clinical Trials in Health Care by an International Working Group: Iterative Study.

JMIR Ment Health. 2019 Jan 31;6(1):e11973. doi: 10.2196/11973.

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic virtual reality (VR) has emerged as an efficacious treatment modality for a wide range of health conditions. However, despite encouraging outcomes from early stage research, a consensus for the best way to develop and evaluate VR treatments...

Accurately quantifying the shape of birds' eggs.

Biggins JD, Thompson JE, Birkhead TR.
PMID: 30386570
Ecol Evol. 2018 Sep 05;8(19):9728-9738. doi: 10.1002/ece3.4412. eCollection 2018 Oct.

Describing the range of avian egg shapes quantitatively has long been recognized as difficult. A variety of approaches has been adopted, some of which aim to capture the shape accurately and some to provide intelligible indices of shape. The...

THE EVOLUTION OF PLUMAGE BRIGHTNESS IN BIRDS IS RELATED TO EXTRAPAIR PATERNITY.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution

Møller AP, Birkhead TR.
PMID: 28564455
Evolution. 1994 Aug;48(4):1089-1100. doi: 10.1111/j.1558-5646.1994.tb05296.x.

A positive association between plumage brightness of male birds and the degree of polygyny may be the result of sexual selection. Although most birds have a socially monogamous mating system, recent paternity analyses show that many offspring are fathered...

CRYPTIC FEMALE CHOICE: CRITERIA FOR ESTABLISHING FEMALE SPERM CHOICE.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution

Birkhead TR.
PMID: 28565225
Evolution. 1998 Aug;52(4):1212-1218. doi: 10.1111/j.1558-5646.1998.tb01848.x.

In this paper, I consider the criteria necessary to demonstrate the postcopulatory ability of females to favor the sperm of one conspecific male over another, that is, sperm choice. In practice it is difficult to distinguish between sperm competition...
