A restoration genetics guide for coral reef conservation [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2008 AbstractWorldwide degradation of coral reef communities has prompted a surge in restoration efforts. They proceed largely without considering genetic factors because traditionally, coral populations have been regarded as open over large areas with little potential for local adaptation.

When machines invent: How AI shapes patent litigation outcomes
American Business Law Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer merely a tool of invention. It has become an inventor. As AI systems increasingly contribute to the design and discovery of new technologies, their involvement raises novel challenges for patent law. This essay presents the first empirical test of whether jurors systematically perceive alleged patent ...
