Divine intervention in decisions : an adaptive function of religious belief by Lim, Alexander Yao

“…Religiosity did not predict moral (p = .16, R2 = .02) or non-moral decision time (p = .94, R2 = .00); however, individuals grouped higher in religiosity (MEAN, N = 48) were found to make moral decisions more quickly than individuals grouped lower in religiosity (MEAN, N = 36) (t(49.95) = -2.11, p = .04). …”

Large range sizes link fast life histories with high species richness across wet tropical tree floras by Baker, TR, Adu-Bredu, S, Affum-Baffoe, K, Aiba, S, Akite, P, Alexiades, M, Almeida, E, de Oliveira, EA, Davila, EA, Amani, C, Andrade, A, Aragao, L, Araujo-Murakami, A, Arets, E, Arroyo, L, Ashton, P, Ifo, SAA, Aymard, GAC, Baisie, M, Balee, W, Balinga, M, Banin, LF, Banki, O, Baraloto, C, Malhi, Y, Moore, S

“…For Amazonian genera, we also explore whether traits are related to species richness via variation among genera in mean species-level range size. Lineages with higher mortality rates—faster life-history strategies—have larger ranges in all biogeographic settings and have higher mean species-level range sizes in Amazonia. …”
