Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3EJ, UK
Mol Ecol 14:599-612. 2005..Because even modest error rates can be strongly influential, we recommend that error rates should be routinely published and that researchers make an attempt to calculate how robust their analyses are to errors... - Exploring the relationship between parental relatedness and male reproductive success in the Antarctic fur seal Arctocephalus gazellaJoseph I Hoffman
