Scorpion venomics: a 2019 overview
Expert Review of Proteomics, 2019 Introduction: A few scorpions are dangerous to humans. Their medical relevance was the initial driving force for venom research. By classical biochemistry and molecular cloning, several venom peptides and their coding transcripts were characterized, mainly those related to toxins.

Moral Luck and Deviant Causation [PDF]
, 2019 This paper discusses a puzzling tension in attributions of moral responsibility in cases of resultant moral luck: we seem to hold agents fully morally responsible for unlucky outcomes, but less-than-fully-responsible for unlucky outcomes brought about ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.(A) The predator Phytoseiulus persimilis and its prey Tetranychus urticae were reared under mild or extreme heat waves from egg to adulthood, which resulted in asymmetrical thermal shifts of adult body sizes in favour of prey under extreme heat waves. (B) Single couples of adult predators and prey, reared under mild heat waves interacted at mild heat ...
