The tree that called my name: on the significance of encountering the constellated symbol in the natural, other‐than‐human, world

open access: yesJournal of Analytical Psychology, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 1410-1430, November 2022., 2022
Abstract In this paper I explore what it means to encounter the symbol as a meaningful object, or process, within the environment of the other‐than‐human. Using Jung’s account in ‘The spirit mercurius’ of an enlisted Indigenous soldier who attempts to desert his barracks on hearing a native Oji tree calling him, I compare the evolving stages of ...

Individual‐based simulations of genome evolution with ancestry: The GenomeAdmixR R package

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 1346-1357, August 2021., 2021
Abstract Hybridization between populations or species results in a mosaic of the two parental genomes. This and other types of genome admixture have received increasing attention for their implications in speciation, human evolution, Evolve and Resequence (E&R) and genetic mapping.

Experimental admixture among geographically disjunct populations of an invasive plant yields a global mosaic of reproductive incompatibility and heterosis

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 2152-2162, May 2021., 2021
Biogeographic patterns of variation in reproductive success in an invasive weed with allopatric distribution. Abstract Invasive species have the ability to rapidly adapt in the new regions where they are introduced. Classic evolutionary theory predicts that the accumulation of genetic differences over time in allopatric isolation may lead to ...

Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 599-610, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...

A pan‐European citizen science study shows population size, climate and land use are related to biased morph ratios in the heterostylous plant Primula veris

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
A large‐scale citizen science study involving thousands of cowslip (Primula veris) observations from all over Europe revealed an unexpected prevalence of S‐morphs over L‐morphs, which was influenced by climatic as well as land use factors. Furthermore, general morph ratios were often unbalanced with the strongest shifts occurring in smaller populations.

Assessing the evidence for treating developmental plasticity and phenotypic flexibility as different phenomena

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 2949-2961, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phenotypic plasticity has long played a central role in eco‐evolutionary theory, but it was not until 20 years ago that it was proposed that the term encompasses two distinct phenomena—developmental plasticity and phenotypic flexibility. While this terminology has since

Institutions, in time: Designing feedback pathways for shared infrastructure transitions

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 654-680, August 2025.
Abstract Electric utilities, challenged by a rapidly unfolding energy transition, use many informal institutions to bridge across technologies and sectors. Little is known, however, about how electric utility systems and other polycentric systems' institutions‐in‐use vary and evolve over time.

BioTIME 2.0: Expanding and Improving a Database of Biodiversity Time Series

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic ...

Cognitive ecology of surprise in predator–prey interactions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 664-680, March 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In this review, we relate theoretical work on the importance of surprise in cognition to empirical research relevant to surprise in predator–prey interactions. There have been multiple proposals as to how surprise should be defined and quantified in the context of ...
