Large isotropic negative thermal expansion above a structural quantum phase transition
(2015-10-01)Perovskite structured materials contain myriad tunable ordered phases of electronic and magnetic origin with proven technological importance and strong promise for a variety of energy solutions. An always-contributing ... -
Large-scale climatic phenomena drive fluctuations in macroinvertebrate assemblages in lowland tropical streams, Costa Rica: The importance of ENSO events in determining long-term (15y) patterns
(2019-02-08)Understanding how environmental variables influence the distribution and density of organisms over relatively long temporal scales is a central question in ecology given increased climatic variability (e.g., precipitation, ... -
Larval aggression is independent of food limitation in nurseries of a poison frog
(2016)Aggression between nurserymates is common in animals and often hypothesized to result from proximate resource limita- tion. In numerous terrestrial frogs, larvae develop in phytotelmata, tiny water bodies where resources ... -
Latitudinal Profiles of Seasonal Rainfall-Enso Association along the Coast of Central and South America, Using Contingency Tables
