Up to date as of 2 May 2013. For the full text of items not available for download here, or hardcopy versions, please email jbyoder AT umn DOT edu. For estimated citation indexes and links to citing papers, please consult my Google Scholar profile.
See also my profile on Mendeley.
Because I consider public outreach an important part of doing science, I frequently discuss my own projects on the websites to which I contribute, Denim and Tweed and Nothing in Biology Makes Sense. Links to relevant online articles follow the listings for papers I've covered in that format.
