Star clusters as age tracers of the age-metallicity relation of the small magellanic cloud [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In my Thesis, I determined ages of Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) star clusters that have formed during the galaxys entire lifetime.

Dwarf and Intermediate-mass Galaxies in MaNGA: Evidence for Different Evolutionary Trends

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the interplay between morphology, specific star formation rate (sSFR), and local environment using a sample of 7408 galaxies from the fourth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory survey ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community abundance, functions, and symbiotic interactions revealed by root metatranscriptomes

open access: yesiMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
Paradigm shift: PCR‐free methods reveal 6–15‐fold higher arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal abundance than metabarcoding, exposing systematic underestimation across decades of research. Predictive power: AM fungal abundance serves as a community‐level trait that predicts crop yield under drought conditions.

Tidal Dwarf Galaxies and Missing Baryons

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, 2010
Tidal dwarf galaxies form during the interaction, collision, or merger of massive spiral galaxies. They can resemble “normal” dwarf galaxies in terms of mass, size, and become dwarf satellites orbiting around their massive progenitor.

Mind and Cosmos as Throughput Systems: A Convergence Through the Throughput Model

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1212-1228, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper advances a conceptual and mathematical foundations approach by applying the throughput model (TPM) to cosmic phenomena, reframing the universe as an extended information processing system. TPM's four stages, Perception, Information, Judgement and Decision Choice, are reformulated in explicit information‐theoretic and dynamical ...

The formation of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies and nucleated dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008
Ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) have similar properties as massive globular clusters or the nuclei of nucleated galaxies. Recent observations suggesting a high dark matter content and a steep spatial distribution within groups and clusters provide new clues as to their origins.

The effect of simulated intergroup encounters on movement patterns and home range use in banded mongooses

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
Intergroup conflicts have a wide range of impacts, including affecting movement and ranging patterns. Previous studies found contrasting movement responses to intergroup conflicts, but no explanation for these differences has been suggested. However, these can be broadly grouped into ‘conflict avoidance' responses: avoiding areas close to the fight ...

Dark Matter in Fractional Gravity III: Dwarf Galaxies Kinematics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Recently, we put forward a framework where the dark matter (DM) component within virialized halos is subject to a non-local interaction originated by fractional gravity (FG) effects.

Hunting strategies, success, and sustainability: A case study in a community forest on the edge of Salonga National Park, DRC

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
In Central Africa, traditional hunting is central to the way of life of local communities. However, increasing demand for wild meat has raised concerns about the sustainability of this practice. With a year‐long analysis of hunting strategies and their impact at the outskirts of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo, we showed a ...

A MARVEL-ous Study of How Well Galaxy Shapes Reflect Dark Matter Halo Shapes in Cold Dark Matter Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a 3D shape analysis of both dark matter (DM) and stellar matter (SM) in simulated dwarf galaxies to determine whether stellar shape traces DM shape. Using 80 central and satellite dwarf galaxies from three simulation suites (“Marvelous Massive
