Evolution &Development, Volume 25, Issue 4-5, Page 257-273, July 2023., 2023 Changes in Mysticeti skull development are coupled with the evolution of different feeding modes. Species with larger sizes surprisingly have a slower developmental rate (Balaenoptera and Megaptera—rorqual whales), connected with the evolution of lunge filter feeding.

Out of Africa: A Solidarity‐Based Approach to Vaccine Allocation
Hastings Center Report, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 27-36, May‐June 2021., 2021 Abstract This article sets forth a solidaristic approach to global distribution of vaccines against the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus. Our approach draws inspiration from African ethics and from the characterization of the Covid‐19 crisis as a syndemic, a convergence of biosocial forces that interact with one another to produce and exacerbate clinical disease and ...

Cultural and demic diffusion of first farmers, herders,and their innovations across Eurasia
Documenta Praehistorica, 2015 Was the spread of agro-pastoralism from the Eurasian founder regions dominated by demic or by cultural diffusion? This study employs simulations that unfold a complex inter-regional and time varying pattern of demic and diffusive exchange processes ...
