Competition between spin exchange and correlated hopping

open access: yes, 2001
The ground-state phase diagram is numerically studied for an electronic model consisting of the spin exchange term (J) and the correlated hopping term (t_3: the three-site term). This model has no single-particle hopping and the ratio of the two terms is

Quantum criticality and first-order transitions in the extended periodic Anderson model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate the behavior of the periodic Anderson model in the presence of $d$-$f$ Coulomb interaction ($U_{df}$) using mean-field theory, variational calculation, and exact diagonalization of finite chains.

Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

Safeguarding a Flagship Species: Integrated Surveillance of Cross‐Species Pathogen Transmission in Giant Panda Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

The global distribution of Bacillus anthracis and associated anthrax risk to humans, livestock and wildlife. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium responsible for anthrax, an acute infection that most significantly affects grazing livestock and wild ungulates, but also poses a threat to human health.

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

Using theory and evidence to design behaviour change interventions for reducing unsustainable wildlife consumption

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2021
Efforts to shift unsustainable human behaviour are at the crux of many conservation interventions, particularly when addressing illegal or unsustainable wildlife trade.

Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Reports in the literature of mass mortality events (MMEs) involving diverse animal taxa are increasing. Yet, many likely go unobserved due to imperfect detection and infrequent sampling. MMEs involving small, cryptic species, for instance, can be difficult to detect even during the event, and degradation and scavenging of carcasses can make ...
