New stopping criteria for iterative root finding
(2014)A set of simple stopping criteria is presented, which improve the efficiency of iterative root finding by terminating the iterations immediately when no further improvement of the roots is possible. The criteria use only ... -
Are genes faster than crabs?
(2014)Biological invasions offer unique opportunities to investigate evolutionary dynamics at the peripheries of expanding pop-ulations. Here, we examine genetic patterns associated with admixture between two distinct invasive ... -
A tale of two seas
(2014)Elasmobranchs represent important components of marine ecosystems, but they can be vulnerable to overexploitation. This has driven investigations into the population genetic structure of large-bodied pelagic sharks, but ... -
Self motion facilitates echo acoustic orientation in humans
(2014)The ability of blind humans to navigate complex environments through echolocation has received rapidly increasing scientific interest. However, technical limitations have precluded a formal quantification of the interplay ... -
Evolution: are themonkeys’ typewriters rigged?

Surface drag reduction and flow separation control in pelagic vertebrates
(2015)Living in water imposes severe constraints on the evolution of the vertebrate body. As a result of these constraints, numerous extant and extinct aquatic vertebrate groups evolved convergent osteological and soft-tissue ... -
Structures of pyruvate kinases display evolutionarily divergent allosteric strategies
(2014)The transition between the inactive T-state (apoenzyme) and active R-state (effector bound enzyme) of Trypanosoma cruzi pyruvate kinase (PYK) is accompanied by a symmetrical 8 rigid body rocking motion of the A- and C-domain ... -
Local plant adaptation across a subarctic elevational gradient
(2014)Predicting how plantswill respond to global warming necessitates understanding of local plant adaptation to temperature. Temperature may exert selective effects on plants directly, and also indirectly through environmental ... -
Effects of habitat structure and land use intensity on the genetic structure of the grasshopper species Chorthippus parallelus
(2014)Land-use intensity (LUI) is assumed to impact the genetic structure of organisms. While effects of landscape structure on the genetics of local populations have frequently been analysed, potential effects of variation in ... -
The minimumnumber of rotations about two axes for constructing an arbitrarily fixed rotation
(2014)For any pair of three-dimensional real unit vectorsˆ mandˆ nwith |ˆ mT ˆ n|<1 and any rotationU,letNˆ m,ˆ n (U) denote the least value of a positive integerksuch thatUcan be decomposed into a product of krotations about ... -
Strong biomechanical constraints on young children’s mental imagery of hands
(2014)Mental rotation (MR) of body parts is a useful paradigm to investigate how people manipulate mental imagery related to body schema. It has been documented that adult participants use ‘motor imagery’ for MR of hands: a ... -
