Publications

Below is a list of papers published by the lab, including a few different methods of access. For those with institutional subscriptions to the journals, there is a link to view at the publisher (where open access, these do not need subscriptions). For those without subscriptions, we have attempted to provide a free pre-print. Finally, we have provided a link to the Kudos page, which contains links to archived versions ,lay summaries for brief, simple descriptions of the work, links to datasets on Figshare or Dryad, and press coverage where relevant. If you would like a copy of the final version, I can send that by email if you contact me. * indicates co-author is a student.
