Universality of the halo mass function in screened gravity theoriess by Braun-Bates, F, Devriendt, J

“…Although we find that some HMFs display more universality than others—in the sense that they exhibit better overlap of their best fit parameters posterior probability distribution functions (PDFs) for different screening models –, the general trend, regardless of the HMF considered, is for DGP HMF parameter PDFs to overlap with those of ΛCDM, symmetron HMF parameter PDFs to overlap with those of |fScript R0|=10−6, and |fScript R0|=10−5 HMF parameter PDFs to remain somewhat distinct from all the others. …”

Morphometrics and molecular analyses of horseshoe bats (chiroptera: rhinolophidae) in Sabah, Malaysia by Nur Ain Awatif Mohd Kanapiah

“…Phylogenetic inference using both Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference showed that Rhinolophus species were separated into two clades, namely Clade A (Euryotis- group, Megaphyllus -group and Pusillus -group) and Clade B (Trifoliatus - group) with high support value (100% bootstrap value, 1.00 posterior probability). In addition, to the facial features, the fourth digit metacarpal length (D4MCL) is a reliable character for accurate identification among Rhinolophus species, especially those that have overlapping measurement. …”
