Violating the normality assumption may be the lesser of two evils

U. Knief, W. Forstmeier

This paper shows Gaussian models are robust to non-normal data, with limited risks, while non-Gaussian models and randomization techniques can be error-prone.

Assortative mate choice and epistatic mating-trait architecture induce complex movement of the crow hybrid zone

D. Metzler, U. Knief, J. Penalba, J. B. W. Wolf

This study uses a mathematical model to show how assortative mate choice and epistasis affect hybrid zone dynamics in crows, leading to complex movement of the hybrid zone over time.

A sex chromosome inversion is associated with copy number variation of mitochondrial DNA in zebra finch sperm

U. Knief, W. Forstmeier, B. Kempenaers, J. B. W. Wolf

The paper investigates the association between a sex chromosome inversion and mitochondrial DNA copy number in zebra finch sperm, finding a positive correlation with midpiece length and potential effects on ATP production and swimming speed.
