Comparative analyses for adaptive radiations [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000 Biologists generally agree that most morphological variation between closely related species is adaptive. The most common method of comparative analysis to test for co–evolved character variation is based on a Brownian–motion model of character evolution.

Threespine Stickleback in Lake Constance: The Ecology and Genomic Substrate of a Recent Invasion
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Invasive species can be powerful models for studying contemporary evolution in natural environments. As invading organisms often encounter new habitats during colonization, they will experience novel selection pressures.

Radiation hydrodynamics including irradiation and adaptive mesh refinement with AZEuS. I. Methods
, 2014 Aims. The importance of radiation to the physical structure of protoplanetary disks cannot be understated. However, protoplanetary disks evolve with time, and so to understand disk evolution and by association, disk structure, one should solve the ...

Laser-controlled adaptive optic for beam quality enhancement in a multipass thin disk amplifier
, 2018 We devise a laser-controlled adaptive optical element which operates intracavity under high intensity radiation. This element substitutes a conventional mechanically deformable mirror and is free of critical heat-sensitive components and electronics. The
