  • The red queen and her king: Cooperation at all levels of life

    Open AccessK M Wei, Kenneth M Weiss et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2011Cited by: 1References: 57

    The Red Queen in “Through the Looking Glass” is often used as a metaphor for the relentless, unremitting competitive struggle by which Darwin described life. That imagery fits comfortably in our culture, with its emphasis on competition and inequity, but less so for nature herself. Life is manifestly much more about cooperation, at all levels and through a variety of ubiquitous mechanisms, than it is about competition. Most organisms of most spec…

  • “The” genetic code

    Open AccessK M Wei, Kenneth M Weiss et al.ARTICLEEvolutionary Anthropology Issues…2005

    The DNA-based code for protein through messenger and transfer RNA is widely regarded as the code of life. But genomes are littered with other kinds of coding elements as well, and all of them probably came after a supercode for the tRNA system itself

  • Hazards models for human population biology

    Open AccessJames W Wood, Darryl J Holman et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1992Cited by: 13References: 85

    Population biologists are often interested in examining the effects of continuous biological variables such as measures of growth, body size, nutritional status, and exposure to environmental risk factors, on discerte vital events such as brith, onset of disease, and death. Traditional statistical analyses are unable to cope with several complexities that arise in the study of such effects, including censoring of observations and explanatory vari…

  • Infant mortality in a Mexican-American community: Laredo, Texas, 1950-1977

    Anne V Buchanan, Anne Buchanan et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1991References: 10

    Published infant mortality rates (IMR's) for Mexican-American populations frequently are lower than expected given the socioeconomic status (SES) of these populations. It has been speculated that this is due to bias or incompleteness in Mexican-American vital statistics. In this paper an extensive genealogical data base constructed from Catholic church records and civil records for the border city of Laredo, Texas is used to study this problem. T…

  • Looking into the black box: Practical approaches to record linkage

    Robert J Schwartz, K M Wei et al.ARTICLEAnnales de Démographie Historique1984

    A long-term epidemiological study of the families of Laredo, Texas, a Mexican-American city on the U.S. border with Mexico is being conducted. Individual records of vital events have been linked into a computer-based genealogical network, relying on interactive methods of data entry, correction and review. Accurate entry, error correction, and the avoidance of false links have been priorities. The record linkage strategy has been to accept pairwi…
