Hamiltonian patterns of age-dependent adaptation to novel environments.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Our intuitive understanding of adaptation by natural selection is dominated by the power of selection at early ages in large populations. Yet, as the forces of natural selection fall with adult age, we expect adaptation to be attenuated with age ...

Evaluation of n-alkanes and their carbon isotope enrichments (d13C) as diet composition markers
, 2011 Plant cuticular n-alkanes have been successfully used as markers to estimate diet composition and intake of grazing herbivores. However, additional markers may be required under grazing conditions in botanically diverse vegetation.
