Selection of a Barley Yield Model Using Information–Theoretic Criteria (2008)
Marie Jasieniuk, Mark L. Taper, Nicole C. Wagner, Robert N. Stougaard, Monica Brelsford, Bruce D. Maxwell
Empirical models of crop–weed competition are integral components of bioeconomic models, which depend on predictions of the impact of weeds on crop yields to make cost-effective weed management...
Quantifying Invasiveness of Plants: A Test Case with Yellow Toadflax (Linaria vulgaris) (2008)
Erik A. Lehnhoff, Lisa J. Rew, Bruce D. Maxwell, Mark L. Taper
Land managers commonly assume that nonindigenous plant species (NIS) are rapidly increasing in population size in all environments in which they occur. In fact, these plant species have differing...

How Are Humans Related to Other Primates?: A Guided Inquiry Laboratory for Undergraduate Students
Kalinowski, Steven T., Taper, Mark L., Metz, Anneke M.
Understanding that phylogenies depict the evolutionary history of species is a critical concept for undergraduate biology students. We present an inquiry-based laboratory exercise exploring this...

Can Random Mutation Mimic Design?: A Guided Inquiry Laboratory for Undergraduate Students
Kalinowski, Steven T., Taper, Mark L., Metz, Anneke M.
Complex biological structures, such as the human eye, have been interpreted as evidence for a creator for over three centuries. This raises the question of whether random mutation can create such...
Relative growth rates of predator and prey dinosaurs reflect effects of predation
Cooper, Lisa Noelle, Lee, Andrew H, Taper, Mark L, Horner, John R
Hadrosaurs grew rapidly, and quantifying their growth is key to understanding life-history interactions between predators and prey during the Late Cretaceous. In this study, we longitudinally sampled...
