Inbreeding depression in benign and stressful environments (2005, result): “In this study, the distribution of effect sizes displays the funnel shape indicative of a lack of publication bias (Palmer, 2000) and the number of studies reporting nonsignificant results outnumbers those reporting significant results.”
Manipulation of primary sex-ratio: an updated review (2006, background): “In agreement with Palmer (2000), their results revealed that those studies published until 2002 (also two works from 2003) do not exhibit any variability beyond that which could be expected by chance or sampling error, although some exceptions were considered.”
Patterns of density-dependent growth in juvenile stream-dwelling salmonids (2005, background): “sample size was not significant (n 1⁄4 19, P >> 0 05), however, indicating no strong evidence of a reporting bias (Palmer, 2000).”
Measuring the Prevalence of Questionable Research Practices With Incentives for Truth Telling (2012, unknown): “…have expressed concerns over failures to replicate published results (Bower & Mayer, 1985; Crabbe, Wahlsten, & Dudek, 1999; Doyen, Klein, Pichon, & Cleeremans, 2012, Enserink, 1999; Galak, LeBoeuf, Nelson, & Simmons, 2012; Ioannidis, 2005a, 2005b; Palmer, 2000; Steele, Bass, & Crook, 1999).”
How general are positive relationships between plant population size, fitness and genetic variation? (2006, background): “287), which also indicates lack of publication bias (Palmer 2000).”
Reproductive isolation and reproductive output in two sympatric mussel species (Mytilus edulis, M. trossulus) and their hybrids from Newfoundland (2002, background): “It is unclear if this biased sex ratio is a consequence of nuclear– cytoplasmic incompatibility through hybridization or a deviation simply due to sampling error (Palmer 2000).”
Heritability is not Evolvability (2011, background): “First, 7% of all our el estimates were zero or negative, and this may be an underestimate as Palmer (2000) has documented a publication bias against negative and ‘‘nonsignificant’’ heritabilities.”
Correlation between Fitness and Genetic Diversity (2003, background): “The distribution of correlations in this study did not display the funnel shape indicative of a lack of publication bias (Light & Pillemer 1984; Palmer 2000).”
Assessing the function of house sparrows' bib size using a flexible meta-analysis method (2007, methodology): “Parental 1 Albuquerque, NM, USA 0.49 13 Pearson’s r Kimball (1995) Feeding rate (visits/chick h) (Møller 1987b)”
