Evolutionary Origin and Maintenance of Sociality in the Small Carpenter Bees
… species are largely solitary; thus geography and phylogenetic inertia are likely predictors of social evolution in this genus. This integrative approach not only describes the behaviour of several previously unknown or little-known Ceratina species, bu~ highlights the fact that this is an …

ECOPHYSIOLOGY OF A WILD NOCTURNAL PRIMATE, THE JAVAN SLOW LORIS (NYCTICEBUS JAVANICUS)
… the sleeping patterns of slow lorises represent phylogenetic inertia for the evolution of human sleep. In conclusion, I suggest that some of our basic notions about physiological responses obtained in the lab may vary in the wild, but can also be applied to rewilding conservation for this …

Stochastic Models in Phylogenetic Comparative Methods: Analytical Properties and Parameter Estimation
Phylogenetic comparative methods are well established tools for using inter-species variation to analyse phenotypic evolution and adaptation. They are generally hampered, however, by predominantly univariate approaches and failure to include uncertainty and measurement error in the phylogeny as …
