Pain through the perspective of art and creativity: insights from the Unmasking Pain project (2023)
Journal Article
Johnson, M. I., Chazot, P., Cole, F., Cruickshank, R., Fuller, D., Keyse, C., Singh, B., Strickson, A. J., Tabasam, G., Tregidden, E., Thompson, K., & Woodall, J. (2023). Pain through the perspective of art and creativity: insights from the Unmasking Pain project. Frontiers in Pain Research, 4, Article 1179116. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpain.2023.1179116

People struggle to tell their story of living with pain and when they do it is articulated in a way that may not be understood, heard or taken seriously. Unmasking Pain is an artist-led project that explored creative approaches to tell stories of lif...

Ecological barriers mediate spatiotemporal shifts of bird communities at a continental scale (2023)
Journal Article
Marjakangas, E., Bosco, L., Versluijs, M., Xu, Y., Santangeli, A., Holopainen, S., …Lehikoinen, A. (2023). Ecological barriers mediate spatiotemporal shifts of bird communities at a continental scale. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 120(23), Article 213330120. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2213330120

Species’ range shifts and local extinctions caused by climate change lead to community composition changes. At large spatial scales, ecological barriers, such as biome boundaries, coastlines, and elevation, can influence a community's ability to shif...

Drivers of the changing abundance of European birds at two spatial scales (2023)
Journal Article
Gregory, R., Eaton, M. A., Burfield, I., Grice, P. V., Howard, C., Klvaňová, A., Stephens, P., Willis, S., Woodward, I. D., & Burns, F. (2023). Drivers of the changing abundance of European birds at two spatial scales. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 378(1881), Article 20220198. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2022.0198

Detecting biodiversity change and identifying its causes is challenging because biodiversity is multifaceted and temporal data often contain bias. Here, we model temporal change in species' abundance and biomass by using extensive data describing the... Read More about Drivers of the changing abundance of European birds at two spatial scales.

Remote monitoring of short-term body mass variation in savanna ungulates (2023)
Journal Article
Fuentes-Allende, N., Stephens, P., MacTavish, L., MacTavish, D., & Willis, S. (online). Remote monitoring of short-term body mass variation in savanna ungulates. Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 9(5), 707-723. https://doi.org/10.1002/rse2.338

Large herbivores in seasonal environments often experience mass variation due to temporal changes in the availability of critical resources like water and forage, as well as due to breeding events. Yet the documentation of mass variation in mammals o... Read More about Remote monitoring of short-term body mass variation in savanna ungulates.

Global biome patterns of the Middle and Late Pleistocene (2023)
Journal Article
Huntley, B., Allen, J. R., Forrest, M., Hickler, T., Ohlemüller, R., Singarayer, J. S., & Valdes, P. J. (online). Global biome patterns of the Middle and Late Pleistocene. Journal of Biogeography, 50(8), 1352-1372. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14619

Our primary aim was to assess the hypothesis that distinctive features of the patterns of vegetation change during successive Quaternary glacial–interglacial cycles reflect climatic differences arising from forcing differences. We addressed this hypo... Read More about Global biome patterns of the Middle and Late Pleistocene.

Development of abnormalities at the neuromuscular junction in the SOD1-G93A mouse model of ALS: dysfunction then disruption of postsynaptic structure precede overt motor symptoms (2023)
Journal Article
McIntosh, J., Mekrouda, I., Dashti, M., Giuraniuc, C. V., Banks, R. W., Miles, G. B., & Bewick, G. S. (2023). Development of abnormalities at the neuromuscular junction in the SOD1-G93A mouse model of ALS: dysfunction then disruption of postsynaptic structure precede overt motor symptoms. Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 16, Article 1169075. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnmol.2023.1169075

Introduction: The ultimate deficit in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is neuromuscular junction (NMJ) loss, producing permanent paralysis, ultimately in respiratory muscles. However, understanding the functional and structural deficits at NMJs pr...

A bending rigidity parameter for stress granule condensates (2023)
Journal Article
Law, J. O., Jones, C. M., Stevenson, T., Williamson, T. A., Turner, M. S., Kusumaatmaja, H., & Grellscheid, S. N. (2023). A bending rigidity parameter for stress granule condensates. Science Advances, 9(20), https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adg0432

Interfacial tension plays an important role in governing the dynamics of droplet coalescence and determining how condensates interact with and deform lipid membranes and biological filaments. We demonstrate that an interfacial tension-only model is i... Read More about A bending rigidity parameter for stress granule condensates.

Journal Article
Zdrzałek, R., Stone, C., De la Concepcion, J. C., Banfield, M. J., & Bentham, A. R. (2023). Pathways to engineering plant intracellular NLR immune receptors. Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 74, 102380. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102380

Accelerated gene evolution is a hallmark of pathogen adaptation and specialization following host-jumps. However, the molecular processes associated with adaptive evolution between host-specific lineages of a multihost plant pathogen remain poorly un...
