An experimental approach to assess the role of nest predation in the population dynamics of the sociable weaver (Philetairus socius) by Lloyd, Kyle

“…Reproductive output, colony size, dispersal events and several environmental variables were measured between 2010 and 2015. This was done to determine (1) what effect nest predator exclusion had on reproductive output; (2) how this related to colony and population size trends by using a matrix-projection metapopulation model; (3) how protected colonies influence movement patterns; and (4) if nest predation had a compensatory or positive effect by reducing the intraspecific competition of a colony. …”

Introducing a Kantian interpretation of quantum physics : in accordance with Kant's philosophy of science in the Critique of the power of judgment, reinterpreted and reworked with... by Mc Loud, Willem

“…Redhead's work showed that the experimental confirmation of the violation of Bell's inequality means that determinism has broken down; he even formulated a version of the Bell inequality that is not dependent on local hidden variables and showed that the violation thereof negates even what might be called "stochastic" determinism - at least in the framework of the Lorentzian space-time manifold (Redhead 1987:83, 103). …”

This is however less conclusive than the findings of previous South African studies, which is explained. …”
