Ecology and Evolution, 3(15), 4998-5010. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.879Measuring and modeling carbon (C) stock changes in terrestrial ecosystems are pivotal in addressing global C-cycling model uncertainties. Difficulties in detecting small short-term changes in relatively large C stocks require the development of robus...

Landscape History, 34(2), 5-26. https://doi.org/10.1080/01433768.2013.855393This paper addresses the flora and fauna of Roman Britain via two long-lived and closely-related notions: the ‘Roman introduction’ and the ‘living legacy’. These concepts connect knowledge and beliefs about the introduction of new species during the...

Studies in Christian Ethics, 26(4), 487-503. https://doi.org/10.1177/0953946813492921The rare phenomenon in which a person desires amputation of a healthy limb, now often termed body integrity identity disorder, raises central questions for biomedical ethics. Standard bioethical discussions of surgical intervention in such cases fail... Read More about Body Integrity Identity Disorder and the Ethics of Mutilation.

Cambridge University PressAncient Roman writers such as Dionysius of Halicarnassus (4.13.4-5) observed the impossibility of locating the point at which Rome ceased and the countryside began. In contrast, modern guidebooks to the remains of the ancient city have less trouble,... Read More about (Sub)urban Surroundings.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 110(22), 9001-9006. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1215723110One of the most pervasive assumptions about human brain evolution is that it involved relative enlargement of the frontal lobes.We show that this assumption is without foundation. Analysis of five independent data sets using correctly scaled measures... Read More about Human frontal lobes are not relatively large.
