. 2020 Oct;
6(43).
PMID: 33087353
Although climate change is considered to have been a large-scale driver of African human evolution, landscape-scale shifts in ecological resources that may have shaped novel hominin adaptations are rarely investigated....

Oecologia
. 2017 Mar;
59(2-3):269-271.
PMID: 28310243
It is argued that birth rate, turnover rate and production/biomass ratios (P/B) are equivalent in stable populations. It is then shown from field data on 21 mammal species that production...

. 2017 Mar;
54(3):281-290.
PMID: 28309949
It is argued that allometric principles account for most of the observed variation in the life history patterns amongst birds. To test this contention it is shown that traits such...

308(4):H331-8.
PMID: 25398981
The activation-recovery interval (ARI) calculated from unipolar electrograms is regularly used as a convenient surrogate measure of local cardiac action potential durations (APD). This method enables important research bridging between...
