New Phytologist, Volume 229, Issue 6, Page 3534-3548, March 2021., 2021 Summary Flowering time is a key adaptive and agronomic trait. In Arabidopsis, natural variation in expression levels of the floral repressor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) leads to differences in vernalization. In Brassica napus there are nine copies of FLC. Here, we study how these multiple FLC paralogues determine vernalization requirement as a system.

New Phytologist, Volume 227, Issue 4, Page 1109-1123, August 2020., 2020 Summary Plants produce an array of specialized metabolites with important ecological functions. The mechanisms underpinning the evolution of new biosynthetic pathways are not well‐understood. Here, we exploit available genome sequence resources to investigate triterpene biosynthesis across the Brassicaceae.

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 1179-1200, July 2020., 2020 We present a comprehensive analysis of the soil microbiome in several areas affected by legacies of heavy‐metal and radionuclide contamination. We explore how these contaminants affect bacterial community composition and diversity, and the enrichment of antibiotic, biocide, and metal‐resistance genes. We find that these contaminants can not only have a

Third‐order self‐embedded vocal motifs in wild orangutans, and the selective evolution of recursion
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1549, Issue 1, Page 219-229, July 2025.Recursion, a core feature of language, was long considered unique to humans. We investigate rhythmic recursion in great ape vocalizations, analyzing Sumatran orangutan alarm calls and uncovering third‐order self‐embedded isochrony, with each level exhibiting unique variation dynamics and information content relative to context.

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2025.Urgent ecosystem restoration is needed in a world with increasing food demands and 80% of agricultural lands degraded. Agroforestry systems (hereafter AFS), which integrate trees and crops, offer a potential solution for ecosystem restoration while providing food resources. The application of the functional trait approach is increasingly recognized for

Vocal Learning Versus Speech Evolution: Untangling a False Equivalence
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.ABSTRACT The evolution of speech remains one of the most profound and unresolved questions in science. Despite significant advancements in comparative research, key assumptions about the evolutionary precursors of speech continue to be accepted with minimal scrutiny.

A Simple Explanation for Harmonic Word Order
Cognitive Science, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract Harmonic word order is a well‐established tendency in natural languages, which has previously been explained as a single ordering rule for all head‐dependent relations. We propose that it can be more parsimoniously explained as an outcome of word‐class frequencies, where the purported “head” is the most frequently instantiated word class in a ...

Buildings, valuated matroids, and tropical linear spaces
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2024.Abstract Affine Bruhat–Tits buildings are geometric spaces extracting the combinatorics of algebraic groups. The building of PGL$\mathrm{PGL}$ parameterizes flags of subspaces/lattices in or, equivalently, norms on a fixed finite‐dimensional vector space, up to homothety.
