Arms Diffusion and War
(SAGE Publications, 2012)The authors present a model of the relationship between the spread of new military technologies and the occurrence of war. A new technology could shift the balance of power, causing anticipatory war as one side tries to ... -
Army Ants Harbor a Host-Specific Clade of Entomoplasmatales Bacteria
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010)In this article, we describe the distributions of Entomoplasmatales bacteria across the ants, identifying a novel lineage of gut bacteria that is unique to the army ants. While our findings indicate that the Entomoplasmatales ... -
aRrayLasso: a network-based approach to microarray interconversion
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Summary: Robust conversion between microarray platforms is needed to leverage the wide variety of microarray expression studies that have been conducted to date. Currently available conversion methods rely on manufacturer ... -
