Sex allocation, sex ratios and reproduction (2019)
Book Chapter
Hardy, I. C., & Boulton, R. A. (2019). Sex allocation, sex ratios and reproduction. In J. Choe (Ed.), Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior (464-471). (2nd edition). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-08-045337-8.00194-7

Sex allocation theory provides a powerful framework for understanding a range of reproductive behavior, including the numerical sex ratio of the progeny that parents produce. Starting with evolutionary explanations for why many species have unbiased... Read More about Sex allocation, sex ratios and reproduction.

Aspects of the analytical ultracentrifuge determination of the molar mass distribution of polysaccharides (2016)
Book Chapter
Harding, S. E., Adams, G. G., Gillis, R. B., Almutairi, F. M., & Morris, G. A. (2016). Aspects of the analytical ultracentrifuge determination of the molar mass distribution of polysaccharides. In S. Uchiyama, F. Arisaka, W. F. Stafford, & T. M. Laue (Eds.), Analytical ultracentrifugation: instrumentation, software and applications (375-386). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-55985-6_18

Molar mass or ‘molecular weight’ is one of the most fundamental parameters describing a macromolecule. Because of their polydisperse nature, polysaccharides are usually described by distributions of molar mass. SEC-MALS (size exclusion chromatography...

Ultracentrifuge Methods for the Analysis of Polysaccharides, Glycoconjugates, and Lignins (2015)
Book Chapter
Harding, S. E., Adams, G. G., Almutairi, F., Alzahrani, Q., Erten, T., Samil Kök, M., & Gillis, R. B. (2015). Ultracentrifuge Methods for the Analysis of Polysaccharides, Glycoconjugates, and Lignins. In Analytical Ultracentrifugation (391-439). Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.mie.2015.06.043

Although like proteins, polysaccharides are synthesized by enzymes, unlike proteins there is no template. This means that they are polydisperse, do not generally have compact folded structures, and are often very large with greater nonideality behavi...
