Big Questions for Social Media Big Data: Representativeness, Validity and Other Methodological Pitfalls (2014, background): “Being easy to handle in the laboratory, in effect, implies “relative insensitivity to environmental influences” (Bolker, 1995, p:451–2) and thus unsuitability for the study of environmental interactions.”
The choice of model organisms in evo–devo (2007, background): “A common recommendation is to increase phylogenetic coverage to sample organisms with different characteristics from those of the established model organism”
The embryonic cell lineage of the nematode Halicephalobus gingivalis (Nematoda: Cephalobina: Panagrolaimoidea) (2007, background): “…complete embryonic cell lineage of H. gingivalis it is clear that the polyclonal cell specification is much more widespread in clades 9 and 10 and is not a highly derived trait specifically linked to the fast development of the model organism C. elegans (Bolker, 1995; Houthoofd et al., 2003).”
What’s so special about model organisms? (2011, background): “As various authors have noted, perhaps most forcefully Jessica Bolker (1995), many model organisms do not in fact fulfill”
Model Organisms are Not (Theoretical) Models (2015, background): “Other theorists are more directly concerned with phylogenetic reconstruction (Bolker [1995]; Santini and Stellwag [2002]).”
Exploring plastic and genetic responses to temperature variation using copper butterflies (2010, methodology): “Models such as Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans and house mice, being investigated in depth, are absolutely indispensable to scientific progress (Bolker 1995, Flannery 1997).”
