Are local filters blind to provenance? Ant seed predation suppresses exotic plants more than natives. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The question of whether species' origins influence invasion outcomes has been a point of substantial debate in invasion ecology. Theoretically, colonization outcomes can be predicted based on how species' traits interact with community filters, a process

Gauge coupling unification in E 6 F-theory GUTs with matter and bulk exotics from flux breaking
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013 We consider gauge coupling unification in E6 F-Theory Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) where E6 is broken to the Standard Model (SM) gauge group using fluxes.

Spatial scaling of non-native fish richness across the United States. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 A major goal and challenge of invasion ecology is to describe and interpret spatial and temporal patterns of species invasions. Here, we examined fish invasion patterns at four spatially structured and hierarchically nested scales across the contiguous ...
