Overall comparison of the experimental power literature and sex/gender difference meta-analyses. Overall, 70.6% of sex/gender differences were consistent with the effects of experimentally induced power differences, whereas only 7.8% were inconsistent. When highpower individuals scored higher on an outcome, men tended to also score higher on that outcome. Similarly, when low-power individuals scored higher on … Read more

Relationship between walleye (Sander vitreus) spawning dates and ice-off dates across 194 Upper Midwestern lakes. Black points are observed data, thin gray lines are lake-specific trends, and colored lines and shaded areas are the global relationship and 95% credible interval (CI) from a hierarchical linear regression model. Dashed line represents a 1 : 1 relationship to demonstrate … Read more
