Are Changes in the Mean or Variability of Climate Signals More Important for Long-Term Stochastic Growth Rate?
(Public Library of Science, 2013-05-14)Population dynamics are affected by changes in both the mean and standard deviation of climate, e.g., changes in average temperature are likely to affect populations, but so are changes in the strength of year-to-year ... -
Conserving Biogeography: Habitat Loss and Vicariant Patterns in Endemic Squamates of the Cerrado Hotspot
(Public Library of Science, 2015-08-07)Little is known about the threat levels and impacts of habitat loss over the Cerrado Squamate fauna. The region is under severe habitat loss due to mechanized agriculture, accelerated by changes in the Brazilian National ... -

Phylogenetic Analyses of Novel Squamate Adenovirus Sequences in Wild-Caught Anolis Lizards
(Public Library of Science, 2013-04-10)Adenovirus infection has emerged as a serious threat to the health of captive snakes and lizards (i.e., squamates), but we know relatively little about this virus' range of possible hosts, pathogenicity, modes of transmission, ... -
DATASETS FOR: Geographic potential of disease caused by Ebola and Marburg viruses in Africa
(Acta Tropica, 2016-01-01)Filoviruses represent a significant public health threat worldwide. West Africa recently experienced the largest-scale and most complex filovirus outbreak yet known, which underlines the need for a predictive understanding ... -
The dogs of Roman Vindolanda, Part II: Time-stratigraphic occurrence, ethnographic comparisons, and biotype reconstruction
(Archaeofauna, 2016-06)The Roman fort–village complex at Vindolanda in northern England has yielded extensive well-preserved remains of domestic dogs, Canis familiaris. Herein, we pose the questions—did the Romans breed for distinctive dog ... -
The dogs of Roman Vindolanda: Morphometric techniques in differentiating domestic and wild canids
(Archaeofauna, 2016-06)The Roman-era fort–village complex at Vindolanda in northern England, occupied from about A.D. 50 to A.D. 415, has yielded extensive well-preserved remains of the domestic dog, Canis familiaris. Herein, utilizing a novel ... -

Examining the evolutionary arms race between transposons and genome defense provided by the piRNA pathway
(University of Kansas, 2015-12-31)Transposable elements (TEs) are often referred to as selfish elements that cause harmful mutations by their mobilization in genome. TEs use a “copy and paste” or "cut and paste" mechanism that allows rapid exponential ... -

(University of Kansas, 1928) -
Twisted trees and inconsistency of tree estimation when gaps are treated as missing data – The impact of model mis-specification in distance correction
(Elsevier, 2015-04-28)Statistically consistent estimation of phylogenetic trees or gene trees is possible if pairwise sequence dissimilarities can be converted to a set of distances that are proportional to the true evolutionary distances. Susko ... -
