| the end of the fat dodo? a new mass estimate for raphus cucullatus. | a new mass estimate for the dodo (raphus cucullatus), based on the lengths of the femur, tibiotarsus and tarsometatarsus, is attempted. the obtained mean mass is 10.2 kg, which is less than previous estimates based on other methods, which ranged from 10.6 to 21.1 kg, and much lower than the 50 lbs reported by a seventeenth-century eyewitness. the new estimated mass, which is similar to that of a large wild turkey, seems more realistic than previous ones and supports the hypothesis that contempor ... | 2011 | 21240603 |

| the dodo gene family encodes a novel protein involved in signal transduction and protein folding. | recent studies in yeast, drosophila and humans have revealed the existence of a highly conserved gene encoding a novel protein, dodo, comprised of four modules: a ww domain, involved in protein-protein interactions, a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (ppiase) domain belonging to a recently described third family of ppiases involved in protein folding and unfolding, a nuclear localization motif and finally, a long, surface-exposed alpha-helix that is likely to be involved in binding to a cell ... | 1997 | 9426238 |

| convex-hull mass estimates of the dodo (raphus cucullatus): application of a ct-based mass estimation technique. | the external appearance of the dodo (raphus cucullatus, linnaeus, 1758) has been a source of considerable intrigue, as contemporaneous accounts or depictions are rare. the body mass of the dodo has been particularly contentious, with the flightless pigeon alternatively reconstructed as slim or fat depending upon the skeletal metric used as the basis for mass prediction. resolving this dichotomy and obtaining a reliable estimate for mass is essential before future analyses regarding dodo life his ... | 2016 | 26788418 |

| bone histology sheds new light on the ecology of the dodo (raphus cucullatus, aves, columbiformes). | the dodo, raphus cucullatus, a flightless pigeon endemic to mauritius, became extinct during the 17(th) century due to anthropogenic activities. although it was contemporaneous with humans for almost a century, little was recorded about its ecology. here we present new aspects of the life history of the dodo based on our analysis of its bone histology. we propose that the dodo bred around august and that the rapid growth of the chicks enabled them to reach a robust size before the austral summer ... | 2017 | 28839147 |

| high connectivity of animal populations in deep-sea hydrothermal vent fields in the central indian ridge relevant to its geological setting. | dispersal ability plays a key role in the maintenance of species in spatially and temporally discrete niches of deep-sea hydrothermal vent environments. on the basis of population genetic analyses in the eastern pacific vent fields, dispersal of animals in the mid-oceanic ridge systems generally appears to be constrained by geographical barriers such as trenches, transform faults, and microplates. four hydrothermal vent fields (the kairei and edmond fields near the rodriguez triple junction, and ... | 2013 | 24358117 |
| drosophila peptidyl-prolyl isomerase pin1 modulates circadian rhythms via regulating levels of period. | in animal circadian clock machinery, the phosphorylation program of period (per) leads to the spatio-temporal regulation of diverse per functions, which are crucial for the maintenance of ~24-hr circadian rhythmicity. the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase pin1 modulates the diverse functions of its substrates by inducing conformational changes upon recognizing specific phosphorylated residues. here, we show that overexpression of drosophila pin1, dodo (dod), lengthens the locomotor behavioral period. us ... | 2015 | 25998391 |

| optimal allocation of conservation resources to species that may be extinct. | statements of extinction will always be uncertain because of imperfect detection of species in the wild. two errors can be made when declaring a species extinct. extinction can be declared prematurely, with a resulting loss of protection and management intervention. alternatively, limited conservation resources can be wasted attempting to protect a species that no longer exists. rather than setting an arbitrary level of certainty at which to declare extinction, we argue that the decision must tr ... | 2010 | 20214673 |

| nursing and interdisciplinary research: phoenix or dodo? | interdisciplinary research activities are increasing in health care in terms of amount and quality. it is recognised that the global problems facing humankind will not be solved by individual disciplines working in isolation. the purpose of this paper is to examine the issues facing interdisciplinary research and how it impacts on nursing in particular. some solutions to engendering cross disciplinary research are offered and a definition of interdisciplinary research is shared. | 2020 | 33061412 |
| author correction: electrically pumped photonic integrated soliton microcomb. | the original version of this article contained an error in the first sentence of the acknowledgements, which incorrectly read 'this publication was supported by contract hr0011-15-c-0055 (dodos) from the defense advanced research projects agency (darpa), defense sciences office (dso).' the correct version states 'microsystems technology office (mto)' in place of 'defense sciences office (dso)'. this has been corrected in both the pdf and html versions of the article. | 2019 | 30944332 |
| day-on, day-off emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and efavirenz single tablet regimen (dodo) as maintenance therapy in hiv-infected patients. | reduced dose schedules may be feasible options to simplify antiretroviral therapy (art) in selected hiv-1-infected individuals. efficacy and safety of a day-on, day-off (dodo) schedule of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, emtricitabine and efavirenz (ftc/tdf/efv) single tablet regimen (str) was assessed. twenty-seven patients were prescribed the dodo schedule and were monitored for 48 weeks. switching criteria were: no previous art failure, no aids-defining illnesses, t cd4 cell nadir >200/mmc, and ... | 2018 | 29932084 |

| correction: neither slim nor fat: estimating the mass of the dodo (raphus cucullatus, aves, columbiformes) based on the largest sample of dodo bones to date. | [this corrects the article doi: 10.7717/peerj.4110.]. | 2017 | 29327740 |
| neither slim nor fat: estimating the mass of the dodo (raphus cucullatus, aves, columbiformes) based on the largest sample of dodo bones to date. | the dodo (raphus cucullatus) might be the most enigmatic bird of all times. it is, therefore, highly remarkable that no consensus has yet been reached on its body mass; previous scientific estimates of its mass vary by more than 100%. until now, the vast amount of bones stored at the natural history museum in mauritius has not yet been studied morphometrically nor in relation to body mass. here, a new estimate of the dodo's mass is presented based on the largest sample of dodo femora ever measur ... | 2017 | 29230358 |
| minimising interventions in the treatment and prevention of depression. taking the consequences of the 'dodo bird verdict'. | research has shown that the different psychotherapeutic treatments in depression are equally effective. this could be accounted for by the non-specific factors, which all therapies have in common. on the other hand, too little is known about the effectiveness of the therapies in different groups of patients. research has shown that the format of the psychotherapies can be changed in several aspects without a reduction in effectiveness. | 1998 | 29052475 |

| health care delivery and change: thoughts on lema's "... of dinosaurs, dodos and anesthesia personnel". | problems in health care delivery relative to access, costs, and quality have been debated for more than a quarter of a century. health care costs have significantly increased since the implementation of the medicare/medicaid legislation. cost containment has been high on the agendas of government officials, legislators, health policy decision makers, business leaders, and economists since the 1980s. there has been a shift toward market medicine and managed care as a means for cost containment. a ... | 1999 | 10723299 |
