Being shown samples of composted, granulated faecal sludge strongly influences acceptability of its use in peri-urban subsistence agriculture (2020)
Journal Article
Roxburgh, H., Hampshire, K., Tilley, E. A., Oliver, D. M., & Quilliam, R. S. (2020). Being shown samples of composted, granulated faecal sludge strongly influences acceptability of its use in peri-urban subsistence agriculture. Resources, conservation & recycling. X, 7, Article 100041. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcrx.2020.100041

Using human excreta derived fertiliser (HEDF) in agriculture reduces dependence on diminishing phosphorus rock reserves, improves soil health, and facilitates sustainable nutrient recycling. Such schemes have particular scope for expansion in peri-ur...

Inheriting Kinship: Norwegian Holiday Property as Relational Practice (2020)
Book Chapter
Abram, S. (2020). Inheriting Kinship: Norwegian Holiday Property as Relational Practice. In M. Holdgaard, A. Magnusdottir, & B. Selmer (Eds.), Nordic inheritance law through the ages (251-271). Brill Academic Publishers. https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004435582_013

This chapter approaches inheritance as a form of intergenerational gift, with reference to anthropological theories of exchange and kinship. In doing this, it considers a particular kind of property, the Norwegian holiday home, and the distinctive pr...

Unravelling the role of epigenetics in reproductive adaptations to early-life environment (2020)
Journal Article
Melamed, P., Bar-Sadeh, B., Rudnizky, S., Pnueli, L., Bentley, G., Stoger, R., & Kaplan, A. (2020). Unravelling the role of epigenetics in reproductive adaptations to early-life environment. Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 16, 519-533. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41574-020-0370-8

Reproductive function adjusts in response to environmental conditions in order to optimize success. In humans, this plasticity includes age of pubertal onset, hormone levels and age at menopause. These reproductive characteristics vary across populat... Read More about Unravelling the role of epigenetics in reproductive adaptations to early-life environment.

The timing of adrenarche in Maya girls, Merida, Mexico (2020)
Journal Article
Keestra, S. M., Bentley, G. R., Núñez-de la Mora, A., Houghton, L. C., Wilson, H., Vázquez-Vázquez, A., Cooper, G. D., Dickinson, F., Griffiths, P., Bogin, B. A., & Varela-Silva, M. I. (2021). The timing of adrenarche in Maya girls, Merida, Mexico. American Journal of Human Biology, 33(2), Article e23465. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajhb.23465

Aims: To investigate adrenarcheal age among Maya girls and its association with body composition and dietary variables. We hypothesized adrenarche would occur earlier given the current dual burden of nutrition in Mexico. Materials and Methods: 25 May...

Habituation is not neutral or equal: Individual differences in tolerance suggest an overlooked personality trait (2020)
Journal Article
Allan, A., Bailey, A., & Hill, R. (2020). Habituation is not neutral or equal: Individual differences in tolerance suggest an overlooked personality trait. Science Advances, 6(28), Article eaaz0870. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aaz0870

In behavioral studies, observer effects can be substantial, even for habituated animals, but few studies account for potential observer-related phenomenon empirically. We used wild, habituated chacma baboons to explore two key assumptions of behavior...

Lilypad aggregation: localised self-assembly and metal sequestration at a liquid-vapour interface (2020)
Journal Article
Jones, C. D., Lewis, A. R., Jones, D. R., Ottley, C., Liu, K., & Steed, J. W. (2020). Lilypad aggregation: localised self-assembly and metal sequestration at a liquid-vapour interface. Chemical Science, 11(28), 7501-7510. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0sc02190c

Spatially resolved soft materials, such as vesicles and microgels, have shown promise as selective adsorbents and microscale reaction vessels. However, spatiotemporal control of aggregation can be difficult to achieve. In this study, nickel(II) chlor...

Effectiveness of diet and physical activity interventions among Chinese-origin populations living in high income countries: a systematic review (2020)
Journal Article

Background: This review examines the effectiveness of diet and physical activity interventions to reduce cardiometabolic risk among Chinese immigrants and their descendants living in high income countries. The objective of this review is to provide i...

Influence of food availability, plant productivity and indigenous forest use on ranging behavior of the endangered samango monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis schwarzi), in the Soutpansberg Mountains, South Africa (2020)
Journal Article
Parker, E., Hill, R. A., Allan, A. T. L., Howlett, C., & Koyama, N. F. (2020). Influence of food availability, plant productivity and indigenous forest use on ranging behavior of the endangered samango monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis schwarzi), in the Soutpansberg Mountains, South Africa. Integrative Zoology, 15(5), 385-400. https://doi.org/10.1111/1749-4877.12438

Understanding the determinants of ranging patterns in species susceptible to habitat fragmentation is fundamental for assessing their long‐term adaptability to an increasingly human‐dominated landscape. The aim of this study was to determine and comp...

Baboon biogeography, divergence and evolution: morphological and palaeoecological perspectives (2020)
Journal Article
Elton, S., & Dunn, J. (2020). Baboon biogeography, divergence and evolution: morphological and palaeoecological perspectives. Journal of Human Evolution, 145, Article 102799. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhevol.2020.102799

Papio originated in the early Pleistocene and diverged into multiple species, six of which are extant. Among parapatric Papio species, there are obvious phenotypic differences that arose during the radiation of the genus. We use data from modern babo...
