Conceptions of Creativity in Elementary School Science. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Creativity is generally seen as something good but it is commonly viewed as something which happens in the arts rather than in the sciences. This study of trainee teachers identified their conceptions of creativity in the context of elementary school... Read More about Conceptions of Creativity in Elementary School Science..
Settlement history, land holdings and landscape change, Eyjafjallahreppur, Iceland (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
In this paper we focus on a region in south Iceland and assess the confidence with which it is possible to determine the changing patterns of settlement history for a region and relate it to contemporaneous land boundaries. For a geographically coher... Read More about Settlement history, land holdings and landscape change, Eyjafjallahreppur, Iceland.
Human impact on freshwater environments in Norse and early medieval Iceland (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Preliminary data from fish bone assemblages preserved in middens at Norse and early medieval farm sites in Mývatnssveit, northern Iceland, suggest that the pattern of fish exploitation changed during the first few centuries following the settlement....

An over-optimistic pioneer fringe? Environmental perspectives on medieval settlement abandonment in Þórsmörk, south Iceland (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
We assess environmental factors that may have contributed to farm abandonment in Þórsmörk, south Iceland. Here farms were established during the initial Norse colonisation of Iceland and abandoned by the 13th century AD. Soil erosion has been identif... Read More about An over-optimistic pioneer fringe? Environmental perspectives on medieval settlement abandonment in Þórsmörk, south Iceland.

Degrees of success: evaluating the environmental impacts of long term settlement in south Iceland (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper focuses on the occupation and landscape history of Dalur and Mörk, two areas of long-term settlement in the Eyjafjallahreppur district of southern Iceland. The aim is to illustrate the importance of evaluating not only farm occupation and...

Cinderella’s Family Tree. A Phylomemetic Case Study of ATU 510/511 (2023)
Journal Article
This case study contributes to recent attempts to apply “phylomemetic” methods derived from computational biology to oral traditions, where the aim is to trace the mutation and diversification of folk narratives as they get passed on from generation...

Group size and mating system predict sex differences in vocal fundamental frequency in anthropoid primates (2023)
Journal Article
Vocalizations differ substantially between the sexes in many primates, and low-frequency male vocalizations may be favored by sexual selection because they intimidate rivals and/or attract mates. Sexual dimorphism in fundamental frequency may be more... Read More about Group size and mating system predict sex differences in vocal fundamental frequency in anthropoid primates.
Canopy structure and air temperature inversions impact simulation of sub-canopy longwave radiation in snow-covered boreal forests (2023)
Journal Article
Longwave radiation is often the dominant source of energy for snowmelt in forests. Measurements at forest sites of varying density in Sweden and Finland show that downwelling longwave radiation is enhanced under forest canopies, even for sparse canop...

Climate, not Quaternary biogeography, explains skull morphology of the long-tailed macaque on the Sunda Shelf (2023)
Journal Article
Sundaland, comprising the low-lying Sunda Shelf, the major islands of Borneo, Sumatra, and Java, as well as many smaller surrounding islands, formed a contiguous landmass through much of the Pliocene and Pleistocene. Subsequent late-Pleistocene risin... Read More about Climate, not Quaternary biogeography, explains skull morphology of the long-tailed macaque on the Sunda Shelf.
Cultural niche construction with application to fertility control: a model of education and social transmission of contraceptive use (2005)
Preprint / Working Paper
The evolution of a cultural trait may be affected by niche construction, or changes in the selective environment of that trait due to the inheritance of other cultural traits that make up a cultural background. This study investigates the evolution o... Read More about Cultural niche construction with application to fertility control: a model of education and social transmission of contraceptive use.
Personality at Work (2023)

Studies of personality at work have made significant contributions to theory and applied practice in work and organizational settings. This review article proposes that there are also reciprocal influences between core personality science and researc... Read More about Personality at Work.
Big enough to matter: on the frequency and chronology of giant handaxes in the British Lower Palaeolithic (2024)
Journal Article
Hypertrophic ‘giant’ handaxes are a rare component of Acheulean assemblages, yet have been central to debates relating to the social, cognitive and cultural ‘meaning’ of these enigmatic tools. The authors examine giant handaxes from the perspective o... Read More about Big enough to matter: on the frequency and chronology of giant handaxes in the British Lower Palaeolithic.
Pain through the perspective of art and creativity: insights from the Unmasking Pain project (2023)
Journal Article
People struggle to tell their story of living with pain and when they do it is articulated in a way that may not be understood, heard or taken seriously. Unmasking Pain is an artist-led project that explored creative approaches to tell stories of lif...
