The effect of task structure on diffusion dynamics: Implications for diffusion curve and network-based analyses (2010)
Journal Article
Hoppitt, W., Kandler, A., Kendal, J., & Laland, K. (2010). The effect of task structure on diffusion dynamics: Implications for diffusion curve and network-based analyses. Learning & Behavior, 38(3), 243-251. https://doi.org/10.3758/lb.38.3.243

Theoretical analyses within the broad field of social learning research give mixed conclusions on whether the shape of a diffusion curve can be used to infer that a learned trait increases through social or asocial learning. Here we explore how facto... Read More about The effect of task structure on diffusion dynamics: Implications for diffusion curve and network-based analyses.

Evidence for social learning in wild lemurs (Lemur catta) (2010)
Journal Article
Kendal, R., Custance, D., Kendal, J., Vale, G., Stoinski, T., Rakotomalala, N., & Rasaminanana, H. (2010). Evidence for social learning in wild lemurs (Lemur catta). Learning & Behavior, 38(3), 220-234. https://doi.org/10.3758/lb.38.3.220

Interest in social learning has been fuelled by claims of ‘culture’ in wild animals. These remain controversial because alternative explanations to social learning, such as asocial learning or ecological differences, remain difficult to refute. Compa...

Profiling the surface layer of optical turbulence with SLODAR (2010)
Journal Article
Osborn, J., Wilson, R., Butterley, T., Shepherd, H., & Sarazin, M. (2010). Profiling the surface layer of optical turbulence with SLODAR. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 406(2), 1405-1408. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16795.x

A prototype of a new SLope Detection And Ranging (SLODAR) instrument for atmospheric optical turbulence profiling has been developed by the Centre for Advanced Instrumentation at Durham University. The instrument targets double stars with wide separa... Read More about Profiling the surface layer of optical turbulence with SLODAR.

Phylogeny and metabolic scaling in mammals (2010)
Journal Article
Capellini, I., Venditti, C., & Barton, R. (2010). Phylogeny and metabolic scaling in mammals. Ecology, 91(9), 2783-2793. https://doi.org/10.1890/09-0817

The scaling of metabolic rates to body size is widely considered to be of great biological and ecological importance, and much attention has been devoted to determining its theoretical and empirical value. Most debate centres on whether the underlyin... Read More about Phylogeny and metabolic scaling in mammals.

Reconstructing the ups and downs of primate brain evolution: implications for adaptive hypotheses and Homo floresiensis (2010)
Journal Article
Montgomery, S., Capellini, I., Barton, R., & Mundy, N. (2010). Reconstructing the ups and downs of primate brain evolution: implications for adaptive hypotheses and Homo floresiensis. BMC Biology, 8(9), https://doi.org/10.1186/1741-7007-8-9

Background: Brain size is a key adaptive trait. It is often assumed that increasing brain size was a general evolutionary trend in primates, yet recent fossil discoveries have documented brain size decreases in some lineages, raising the question of...

Recalibrating ECHR rights and the role of the Human Rights Act post 9/11: reasserting international human rights norms in the “war on terror”? (2010)
Journal Article
Fenwick, H. (2010). Recalibrating ECHR rights and the role of the Human Rights Act post 9/11: reasserting international human rights norms in the “war on terror”?. Current Legal Problems, 63(1), 153-234. https://doi.org/10.1093/clp/63.1.153

An Extraordinary Threat Requiring Special Measures’ One of the most notable aspects of the ‘war on terror’ post 9/11 has been the shift from a wholly criminal justice response under the Terrorism Act 2000 to the creation of a parallel preventive syst...
