Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone).

The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Application of influence diagrams to multi‐objective allocation of firefighting resources in process plants

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Identification of firefighting strategies (i.e., which endangered units to suppress or cool first) in chemical and process plants falls under the domain of multi‐objective decision‐making (MODM), where not only the safety and integrity of the affected process plant but also the safety of on‐site and off‐site vulnerable targets matter.
