The confusing transition into adulthood: time allocation to the life-history transition of aquatic larvae
Published in Evolutionary ecology research (01-11-2013)“…Hypothesis: Organisms allocate their time towards reproduction (i.e. mature as soon as size threshold is reached) under extremely deprived conditions, and…”

Effects of food, water depth, and temperature on diving activity of larval Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto: evidence for diving to forage
Published in Journal of vector ecology (01-12-2013)“…Anopheles gambiae larvae have frequently been observed to dive, but the ecology of this behavior has not been extensively examined. We manipulated food level,…”

An age–size reaction norm yields insight into environmental interactions affecting life‐history traits: a factorial study of larval development in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto
Published in Ecology and evolution (01-07-2013)“…Environmental factors frequently act nonindependently to determine growth and development of insects. Because age and size at maturity strongly influence…”

On the evolution of omnivory in a community context
Published in Ecology and evolution (01-02-2014)“…Omnivory is extremely common in animals, yet theory predicts that when given a choice of resources specialization should be favored over being generalist. The…”
