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...

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.
