    Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc 85:935-56. 2010
    ..This review serves as a collection of guidelines and recommendations for biologists to calculate repeatability and heritability from both Gaussian and non-Gaussian data...
  2. ncbi Comparative and meta-analytic insights into life extension via dietary restriction
    Shinichi Nakagawa
    Department of Zoology, National Research Centre for Growth and Development, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand
    Aging Cell 11:401-9. 2012
    ..Our results suggest that convergent adaptation to laboratory conditions better explains the observed DR-longevity relationship than evolutionary conservation although alternative explanations are possible...

    Shinichi Nakagawa
    Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
    Biol Lett 4:667-9. 2008
    ..This indicates that differential selection can act on a trait according to the degree of cheating...

    Shinichi Nakagawa
    Department of Zoology, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand

    Katie L Hector
    National Research Centre for Growth and Development, Department of Zoology, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand
    Biol Lett 8:790-3. 2012
    ..In summary, we can report that few species conclusively show life extension in response to resveratrol. As such, we question the practice of the substance being marketed as a life-extending health supplement for humans...

    Shinichi Nakagawa
    Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK
    Oecologia 153:749-60. 2007

    Julia Schroeder
    Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom
    PLoS ONE 7:e39200. 2012
    ..Here, we examine three hypotheses on how noise might reduce reproductive output in passerine birds: (H1) by impairing mate choice, (H2) by reducing territory quality and (H3) by impeding chick development...
