HyperEpos Responding to the lack of genre-based sites on the web, I've gathered here an array of sites focused on epic poetry, aiming for the occasionally quirky as well as the canonical vision of the genre. In addition to the links to individual poems and poets, I've tried to incorporate a few key sites for chronological study. Thus, links to sites like Perseus, The Labyrinth or Romantic Circles, with all their wealth of connections, are included at the bottom of the appropriate page.

Discuss important life science topics with the experts The study of speciation, the evolutionary processes that form new species, has long been one of the central topics of evolutionary biology. This central position is partly because the study of how new species arise, diverge and remain separate draws together many strands of study, including population genetics, ecology, behaviour, biogeography and biodiversity. It also remains one of the most intriguing questions in evolution. From appearing virtually ‘solved’ in the mid Twentieth Century, when the geographical classification of speciation mechanisms into allopatric (by far the most dominant explanation), sympatric and parapatric was almost all that needed to be said by way of explanation, speciation has recently undergone a period of intensive study with many important advances. The old frameworks for understanding speciation, such as the geographical classification mentioned above, have begun to look unsatisfactory.

Montado, Alentejo Quick tour A magnificent 200 year old cork oak, able to thrive on the poorest mediteranean soils. Thousands of years ago people learnt to harvest their spongy bark for a uniquely versatile material. British Museum Sir Hans Sloane, founder of the British Museum Though principally a museum of cultural art objects and antiquities today, the British Museum was founded as a "universal museum". Its foundations lie in the will of the physician and naturalist Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753). During the course of his lifetime Sloane gathered an enviable collection of curiosities and whilst not wishing to see his collection broken up after death, he bequeathed it to King George II, for the nation, for the princely sum of £20,000. At that time, Sloane's collection consisted of around 71,000 objects of all kinds including some 40,000 printed books, 7,000 manuscripts, extensive natural history specimens including 337 volumes of dried plants, prints and drawings including those by Albrecht Dürer and antiquities from Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Ancient Near and Far East and the Americas

Bonferroni adjustment Simple and sophisticated Bonferroni adjustment Anywhere where you compare three or more groups or conditions or repeated measures and get a significant result on the overall test (e.g. ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman…) you usually then want to know which pairs of groups or conditions are sig different. A sig result on the overall test does not tell you this… It just tells you that at least one pair is different. One way to resolve this is to inspect a suitable graph, such as an error bar graph, and see which pairs look most different.
