Could natural selection change the geographic range limits of light brown apple moth (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) in North America? [PDF]
We artificially selected for increased freeze tolerance in the invasive light brown apple moth. Our results suggest that, by not accounting for adaptation to cold, current models of potential geographic distributions could underestimate the areas at risk

Quantization of gauge fields, graph polynomials and graph cohomology [PDF]
We review quantization of gauge fields using algebraic properties of 3-regular graphs. We derive the Feynman integrand at n loops for a non-abelian gauge theory quantized in a covariant gauge from scalar integrands for connected 3-regular graphs ...
