The Structured Coalescent and Its Approximations
(2017)Molecular Biology and EvolutionPhylogeographic methods can help reveal the movement of genes between populations of organisms. This has been widely done to quantify pathogen movement between different host populations, the migration history of humans, and the geographic spread of languages or gene flow between species using the location or state of samples alongside sequence data. Phylogenies therefore offer insights into migration processes not available from classic ...Journal Article -
The equation of motion for supershear frictional rupture fronts
(2018)Science AdvancesThe rupture fronts that mediate the onset of frictional sliding may propagate at speeds below the Rayleigh wave speed or may surpass the shear wave speed and approach the longitudinal wave speed. While the conditions for the transition from sub-Rayleigh to supershear propagation have been studied extensively, little is known about what dictates supershear rupture speeds and how the interplay between the stresses that drive propagation and ...Journal Article -
When Evolution Works Against the Future: Disgust's Contributions to the Acceptance of New Food Technologies
(2019)Risk AnalysisNew food technologies have a high potential to transform the current resource‐consuming food system to a more efficient and sustainable one, but public acceptance of new food technologies is rather low. Such an avoidance might be maintained by a deeply preserved risk avoidance system called disgust. In an online survey, participants (N = 313) received information about a variety of new food technology applications (i.e., genetically ...Journal Article -
Novel excitations near quantum criticality in geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet CsFeCl3
(2019)Science AdvancesThe investigation of materials that exhibit quantum phase transition provides valuable insights into fundamental problems in physics. We present neutron scattering under pressure in a triangular-lattice antiferromagnet that has a quantum disorder in the low-pressure phase and a noncollinear structure in the high-pressure phase. The neutron spectrum continuously evolves through critical pressure; a single mode in the disordered state becomes ...Journal Article -

Endometrial luminal epithelial cells sense embryo elongation in the roe deer independent of interferon-tau†
(2019)Biology of ReproductionNumerous intrauterine changes take place across species during embryo development. Following fertilization in July/August, the European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) embryo undergoes diapause until embryonic elongation in December/January. Embryonic elongation prior to implantation is a common feature among ungulates. Unlike many other ruminants, the roe deer embryo does not secrete interferon-tau (IFNτ). This provides the unique opportunity ...Journal Article -
Multi-Risk Approach in Centralized and Decentralized Risk Governance Systems: Case studies of Naples, Italy and Guadeloupe, France
(2013)International Relations and DiplomacyRecent multi-hazard disasters, such as 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and tsunami, 2011 Tohoku earthquake, tsunami and nuclear catastrophe and 2013 Super Typhoon Haiyan, showed the need for a multi-risk approach, which takes into consideration multiple risks and interdependencies between them. The first attempts to provide assessment of natural hazards based on multi-risk approach (MRA) exist in science. Also at the level of the European ...Journal Article -
Active Pacific meridional overturning circulation (PMOC) during the warm Pliocene
(2017)Science AdvancesAn essential element of modern ocean circulation and climate is the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), which includes deep-water formation in the subarctic North Atlantic. However, a comparable overturning circulation is absent in the Pacific, theworld's largest ocean, where relatively fresh surface waters inhibitNorth Pacific deep convection. We present complementary measurement and modeling evidence that the warm, similar ...Journal Article -
Understanding the fabric of protein crystals: Computational classification of biological interfaces and crystal contacts
(2016)BioinformaticsModern structural biology still draws the vast majority of information from crystallography, a technique where the objects being investigated are embedded in a crystal lattice. Given the complexity and variety of those objects, it becomes fundamental to computationally assess which of the interfaces in the lattice are biologically relevant and which are simply crystal contacts. Since the mid-1990s, several approaches have been applied to ...Journal Article -
