Title Female choice of young sperm in a genetically monogamous bird. Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Proceedings of the royal society b-biological sciences Abbreviated Journal Proc. Biol. Sci.
Volume (down) 271 Issue Suppl 4 Pages
Keywords
Abstract When females copulate with multiple males the potential exists for female sperm choice. Females may increase the probability of being fertilized by preferred males by selectively retaining their sperm while ejecting the sperm of unfavoured males. An alternative criterion to male quality for female sperm choice may be sperm age because old sperm degrade and can lead to zygote death or unhealthy offspring. Here, we report that in a genetically monogamous bird, the black-legged kittiwake Rissa tridactyla, females eject their mates' sperm according to when the copulations were performed. Following copulations that were performed approximately two weeks before egg laying, females ejected inseminations at high frequencies while retaining inseminations that occurred soon before laying. Females that suffered hatching failure had ejected sperm from early copulations less than half as frequently as females whose entire clutches hatched. Furthermore, chicks that hatched from eggs fertilized by old sperm were in poor condition relative to those fertilized by young sperm. These findings support the 'young sperm' hypothesis, which predicts that females choose fresh sperm to avoid reproductive failure and are the first to show intra-male sperm choice by females.

Title Model Estimations Biased by Truncated Expansions: Possible Artifacts in Seismic Tomography Type Journal Article
Year 1996 Publication Science Abbreviated Journal Science
Volume (down) 271 Issue 5253 Pages 1257-1260
Keywords seismology ; tomography ; errors ; mathematical models ; methods ; inverse problem ; elastic waves ; Rayleigh waves ; algorithms
Abstract In most linear imaging problems, where the model to be sought is expanded in a set of basis functions, it is common practice to truncate the set at a certain (arbitrary) level. The solution then depends on the chosen parameterization, and neglected basis functions may leak into the solution to produce artifacts in the retrieved model. An unbiased estimate of the coefficients of the true model may be obtained in the chosen finite basis set ; here, a method to suppress leakage is illustrated on an example of global seismic tomography.

Title Abrupt climate changes for Iceland during the last millennium: evidence from high resolution sea ice reconstructions Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Earth and planetary science letters Abbreviated Journal Earth Planet. Sci. Lett.
Volume (down) 269 Issue 3-4 Pages 565-569
Keywords
Abstract A high resolution account of Icelandic sea ice over the last millennium has been constructed using a novel proxy based on the presence in sediments of a biomarker (IP25) produced by sea ice algae. Comparison with historical sea ice records demonstrates a strong correlation between documented sea ice occurrences and the IP25 proxy. An excellent agreement is also observed between the IP25 record and a diatom-based sea surface temperature reconstruction obtained from the same core and the Crowley and Lowery Northern Hemisphere temperature reconstruction. Using this approach, we provide new historical sea ice data for periods where records are scarce or absent and evidence for abrupt changes to sea ice and/or climate conditions around Iceland during the Little Ice Age.
