Metaanalysis of metamorphosis experiments

Independent Repetition and Statistical Recalculation of Experiments on Homeopathically Prepared Thyroxine and Amphibians. The team, coordinated by G. Lingg, had set themselves the task of defining a generally applicable pooling method and statistics for metamorphosis experiments. In Part I, this method was standardized with regard to experiments with highland Rana temporaria treated with a homeopathically prepared dilution of thyroxine beyond Avogadro’s limit [Ling and Endler 2011]. In Part II, G. Lingg performed an analogous experiment in his own laboratory [Lingg et al. 2008]. In Part III, the pooling method and statistics developed for experiments on inert highland Rana temporaria treated with a homeopathically prepared dilution of thyroxine beyond Avogadro’s limit was applied to further amphibian studies, i. e. with animals from different biotopes and with homeopathically prepared thyroxine dilutions at different concentrations [Endler, Scherer and Lingg 2011].
