Journal Article
Paris-Mandoki, A., Jones, M. D., Nute, J., Wu, J., Warriar, S., & Hackermüller, L. (2014). Versatile cold atom source for multi-species experiments. Review of Scientific Instruments, 85(11), Article 113103. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4900577

We present a dual-species oven and Zeeman slower setup capable of producing slow, high-flux atomic beams for loading magneto-optical traps. Our compact and versatile system is based on electronic switching between different magnetic field profiles an... Read More about Versatile cold atom source for multi-species experiments.

Foliar trait contrasts between African forest and savanna trees: genetic versus environmental effects (2014)

Untangling intra- and interspecific effects on body size clines reveals divergent processes structuring convergent patterns in Anolis lizards (2014)
Journal Article

Bergmann’s rule—the tendency for body size to increase in colder environments—remains controversial today, despite 150 years of research. Considerable debate has revolved around whether the rule applies within or among species. However, this debate h...

Treefall gaps are the “engines of regeneration” in tropical forests and are loci of high tree recruitment, growth, and carbon accumulation. Gaps, however, are also sites of intense competition between lianas and trees, whereby lianas can dramatically... Read More about Lianas in gaps reduce carbon accumulation in a tropical forest.
