  • Manx Shearwater Chicks; Seasonal, Parental, and Genetic Influences On
    The Condor 88:324-327 0 The Cooper Ornithological Society 1986 MANX SHEARWATER CHICKS: SEASONAL, PARENTAL, AND GENETIC INFLUENCES ON THE CHICK’S AGE AND WEIGHT AT FLEDGING’ M. DE L. BROOKED ZoologyDepartment, Edward Grey Institute, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, United Kingdom Abstract. Manx Shearwater(Pu@zuspujinus) pairs on Skokholm Island, Wales, typically breed together over several seasons,rearing one chick per year. There is a seasonal decline of chick fledgingweight. Even after correction for this decline, pairs tend to rear chicksthat are consistently heavier or lighter than predicted on the basis of the chick’s hatching date. These deviations may reflect pair quality. Weight and hatching date of a chick are not correlated with age of fledging. However, fledging agesof full siblingsshow significantlyless variation than thoseof nonsiblings.The characterappears highly heritable, with a heritability value around 0.84. This is the first study to addressthe extent to which the fledging age of wild birds is genetically determined. Key words: Manx Shearwater;Puffinus puffinus;fledging age; heritability.

  • The Selection-Mutation-Drift Theory of Synonymous Codon Usage
    Copyright 0 1991 by the Genetics Society of America The Selection-Mutation-DriftTheory of Synonymous Codon Usage Michael Bulmer' Department of Statistics, Oxford University, Oxford OX1 3TG, England Manuscript received March 13, 199 1 Accepted for publication July 6, 199 1 ABSTRACT It is argued that the bias in synonymous codon usage observed in unicellular organismsis due to a balance between the forces of selection and mutation in a finite population, with greaterbias in highly expressed genes reflecting stronger selection for efficiency of translation. A populationgenetic model is developed taking into account population size and selective differences between synonymous codons. A biochemical model is then developed to predict the magnitude of selective differences between synonymous codons in unicellular organisms in which growth rate (or possibly growth yield) can be equated with fitness. Selection can arise from differences in either the speed or the accuracy of translation. A model for the effect of speed of translation on fitness is considered in detail, a similar model for accuracy more briefly. The model is successful in predicting a difference in the degree of bias at thebeginning than inthe rest of the gene under some circumstances, as observed in Escherichia coli, but grossly overestimates the amount of bias expected. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed. YNONYMOUScodons (coding forthe same balance ina finite population between selection favor- S amino acid) are often used with very different ing an optimal codon for each amino acid and muta- frequencies (GRANTHAMet al. 1980, 1981; IKEMURA tion together with drift allowing the persistence of 1985; BULMER1988a; SHARP1989; ANDERSONand nonoptimal codons.

  • The Development of Francis Galton's Ideas on the Mechanism of Heredity
    Journal of the History of Biology 32: 263–292, 1999. 263 © 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. The Development of Francis Galton’s Ideas on the Mechanism of Heredity MICHAEL BULMER The Old Vicarage Chittlehampton Umberleigh EX37 9RQ U.K. Abstract. Galton greeted Darwin’s theory of pangenesis with enthusiasm, and tried to test the assumption that the hereditary particles circulate in the blood by transfusion experiments on rabbits. The failure of these experiments led him to reject this assumption, and in the 1870s he developed an alternative theory of heredity, which incorporated those parts of Darwin’s theory that did not involve the transportation of hereditary particles throughout the system. He supposed that the fertilized ovum contains a large number of hereditary elements, which he collectively called the “stirp,” a few of which are patent, developing into particular cell types, while the rest remain latent; the latent elements can be transmitted to the next generation, while the patent elements, with rare exceptions, cannot since they have developed into cells. The problem with this theory is that it does not explain the similarity between parent and child unless there is a high correlation between latent and patent elements. Galton probably came to realize this problem during his subsequent statistical work on heredity, and he quietly dropped the idea that patent elements are not transmitted in Natural Inheritance (1889). Galton thought that brothers and sisters had identical stirps, and he attributed differences between them to variability in the choice of patent elements from the stirp, that is to say to developmental variability.

  • 1 Introduction
    Notes 1 Introduction 1. Shils 1985: 166–7. 2. Huxley 1871: 152–3. Original emphasis. 3. Durkheim 1982: 162. 4. Mills 1959. 5. Durkheim 2005; Weber 1949. 6. Tönnies 2001. 7. Abbott 1999; Cristobal Young 2009. Demonstrating the extent to which they still command the attention of scholars in the early twenty-first cen- tury, a number of new studies of classical generation thinkers have been published in the past decade. For example, on Weber see Radkau 2009 and Ringer 2005, whilst on Durkheim see: Schmaus 2004 and Alexander and Smith 2005. 8. Weber 1958. On Weber’s difficult relationship with German sociology, in particular the German Sociological Association, see: Proctor 1991: part 2, especially chapter 10. 9. For example: Giddens 1971. Indeed, interpreting the relationship between Marx and Weber is a crucial part of understanding how thinkers from dif- ferent sides of the political spectrum, such as Talcott Parsons and Perry Anderson, who are discussed shortly, have given quite different readings of not just Weber but classical sociology as a whole. 10. For more on Parsons, see: Hamilton 1983; Holmwood 1996. 11. Parsons 1937. Parsons’ translations of Weber were, however, conservative compared to those of Weber’s European translators. As a consequence, the American reading of Weber, which presents him as providing an alternative to Marx’s historical materialism, is frequently very different to European interpretations of Weber. For more on the mid-twentieth-century political context for these different readings see: Roy MacLeod 2006. 12. Martin Bulmer 1985: 15; Shils 1980: 182, n. 7; MacRae 1972: 47. Indeed, Tawney provided a foreword to Parsons’ translation of Weber’s The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism.

Martin Australian National University Statistical Education Section Victorian Branch ISBN: 978-0-9805950-0-0 1 PREFACE OZCOTS 2008 6th Australian Conference on Teaching Statistics The Australian Learning and Teaching Council, ALTC, http://www.altc.edu.au (formerly The Carrick Institute of Learning and Teaching in Higher Education), was established late 2004 and is an initiative of the Australian Government Department of Education, Science and Training. Its mission is to promote and advance learning and teaching in Australian higher education. OZCOTS 2008 combined the interests of the Statistics Education Section of the Statistical Society of Australia Inc with activities of Professor Helen MacGillivray’s ALTC Senior Fellowship program entitled “The teaching and assessment of statistical thinking within and across disciplines”. The Senior Fellowship Scheme supports leading educators to undertake strategic, high profile fellowship activities in areas that support the ALTC mission. Senior Fellows undertake a full time program of highly strategic fellowship activities over one year. Helen was one of the inaugural Senior Fellows. The six invited speakers at OZCOTS 2008 were members of the Fellowship’s international collaborative team, and their participation in OZCOTS 2008 was fully funded by the Fellowship. OZCOTS 2008 acknowledges the support of the Australian Statistical conference 2008 and the Victorian Branch of the Statistical Society of Australia Inc (SSAI) OZCOTS 2008 Conference Committee Helen MacGillivray (joint chair, joint editor), Queensland University of Technology Brian Phillips (joint chair, local arrangements), Swinburne University Michael Martin (joint editor), Australian National University Kay Lipson, Swinburne University Peter Howley, University of Newcastle 2 Brief Biographies of Invited Speakers Professor Adrian Bowman, Department of Statistics, University of Glasgow, Scotland.
