SEARCHING FOR DEEP VARIATION IN THE MODEL SYSTEMS OF EVO-DEVO (2007)

Paul A. Nelson, Jonathan Wells

Abstract: Evolution by natural selection requires variations that (a) exhibit fitness differences, and (b) are heritable. We use these criteria to examine what McDonald called a “great Darwinian...

Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Fat Mass in a Large Cohort of Children (2007)

Andy R. Ness, Sam D. Leary, Calum Mattocks, Steven N. Blair, John J. Reilly, Jonathan Wells, ...

BackgroundPrevious studies have been unable to characterise the association between physical activity and obesity, possibly because most relied on inaccurate measures of physical activity and...

Using Intelligent Design Theory to Guide Scientific Research (2004)

Jonathan Wells

Intelligent Design theory (ID) can contribute to science on at least two levels. On one level, ID is concerned with inferring from the evidence whether a given feature of the world is designed. This...

An exploration of the Cantabrian tertiary adult student market (1995)

Williams, Lesley E., Wells, Jonathan

Significant changes have occurred in the mix of students attending tertiary institutions in New Zealand over the last decade. The number of adult students involved in this level of study, in...

Microtubule-mediated transport of organelles and localization of β-catenin to the future dorsal side of Xenopus eggs

Rowning, Brian A., Wells, Jonathan, Wu, Mike, Gerhart, John C., Moon, Randall T., Larabell, Carolyn A.

The dorsal–ventral axis in frog embryos is specified during the first cell cycle, when the cortex rotates relative to the cytoplasmic core along parallel microtubules associated with the core....

Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Fat Mass in a Large Cohort of Children

Ness, Andy R, Leary, Sam D, Mattocks, Calum, Blair, Steven N, Reilly, John J, Wells, Jonathan, ...

A study with 5,500 12-year-olds shows an inverse association between physical activity and obesity, which is stronger in boys, and suggests that high-intensity activity is more important than total...
