Improved characterisation of measures of fatness and metabolic risks in older adolescents and young adults in the South Asian population in the UK
… with a South Asian (SA) heritage. Variation in body composition between ethnicities is important in identifying risk. For example, South Asians have a characteristic body composition with a higher proportion of body fat, lower skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and a tendency to accumulate body fat (BF) …

The consequences and implications of ecology on body size distributions in social insects
… size and shape. For these polymorphic species, body size is both an individual and a colony-level trait (distribution of worker body sizes). Ants are typically described as most diverse and successful organisms in terrestrial ecosystems. One explanation for their ecological dominance and success …
