Physical habitat and social conditions across a coral reef shape spatial patterns of intraspecific behavioral variation in a demersal fish (with Meagan N. Schrandt, Kaitlin M. Johnson, and Sean C. Lema), Marine Ecology: An Evolutionary Perspective (2011)

As coral reef ecosystems decline in health worldwide, reef-associated fishes are being impacted by changes...

The long and winding road: influences of intracellular metabolite diffusion on cellular organization and metabolism in skeletal muscle (with Stephen T. Kinsey and Bruce R. Locke), The Journal of Experimental Biology (2007)

A fundamental principle of physiology is that cells are small in order to minimize diffusion...

A reaction–diffusion analysis of energetics in large muscle fibers secondarily evolved for aerobic locomotor function (with Bruce R. Locke, Marilia Da Silva, and Stephen T. Kinsey), The Journal of Experimental Biology (2006)

The muscles that power swimming in the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, grow hypertrophically, such that...
