Coordination of plant hydraulic and photosynthetic traits: confronting optimality theory with field measurements. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2021 Summary Close coupling between water loss and carbon dioxide uptake requires coordination of plant hydraulics and photosynthesis. However, there is still limited information on the quantitative relationships between hydraulic and photosynthetic traits ...

Mapping the global distribution of C4 vegetation using observations and optimality theory. [PDF]
Nat CommunPlants with the C4 photosynthesis pathway typically respond to climate change differently from more common C3-type plants, due to their distinct anatomical and biochemical characteristics. These different responses are expected to drive changes in global

Learnability in Optimality Theory
Linguistic Inquiry, 2000 In this article we show how Optimality Theory yields a highly general Constraint Demotion principle for grammar learning. The resulting learning procedure specifically exploits the grammatical structure of Optimality Theory, independent of the content of substantive constraints defining any given grammatical module.

Optimizing over subsequences generates context-sensitive languages
Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021 Phonological generalizations are finite-state. While Optimality Theory is a popular framework for modeling phonology, it is known to generate non-finite-state mappings and languages. This paper demonstrates that Optimality Theory is capable of generating

An Optimality-Theoretic Account of Partial Nasal Assimilation in the Recitation of the Holy Qur’an [PDF]
̒Ilm-i Zabān, 2022 Recitation of the Holy Qur’an has its own phonological features. This paper discusses the two types of partial nasal place assimilation known as ‘Ikhfaa’ and ‘Iqlaab’ in Arabic.

A theory of demographic optimality in forests
Scientific Reports, 2023 Carbon uptake by the land is a key determinant of future climate change. Unfortunately, Dynamic Global Vegetation Models have many unknown internal parameters which leads to significant uncertainty in projections of the future land carbon sink.
