WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): Discourse analysis [PDF]
Early Human Development, 2019 Discourse analysis enables the identification of what social actors say and do but also of what they represent in terms of values and motivation Such an analysis can also unearth ideological representations which legitimize the reproduction of social structures, irrespective of whether such representations reflect some objective reality or not.

Homogeneous studies of transiting extrasolar planets. III. Additional planets and stellar models [PDF]
, 2010 I derive the physical properties of 30 transiting extrasolar planetary systems using a homogeneous analysis of published data. The light curves are modelled with the JKTEBOP code, with attention paid to limb darkening and eccentricity.

Dominant aggression as a deterrent signal in paper wasps [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2014 Low-level social aggression is a conspicuous feature of cooperative animal societies, but its precise function is usually unclear. One long-standing hypothesis is that aggressive displays by dominant individuals serve to reduce uncertainty about relative strength and deter subordinates from starting fights that they are unlikely to win.

Reproductive workers insufficiently signal their reproductive ability in a paper wasp
, 2020 Why workers forfeit direct reproduction is a crucial question in eusocial evolution. Worker reproduction provides an excellent opportunity to understand the mechanism of kin conflict resolution between the queen and workers. We evaluated behavioral and

Robust long-term social memories in a paper wasp [PDF]
Current Biology, 2008 SummaryRemembering individual identity is necessary for the complex, individually-differentiated social relationships found in many vertebrates, including humans. Despite the complexity of social insect colonies, individual social insects are generally thought to have simple, undifferentiated relationships.

The well-aligned orbit of WASP-84b: evidence for disc migration [PDF]
, 2014 We report the sky-projected orbital obliquity (spin-orbit angle) of WASP-84b, a 0.70-$M_{\rm Jup}$ planet in a 8.52-day orbit around a G9V/K0V star, to be $\lambda = 0.3 \pm 1.7^\circ$.
