Commonly Used Insect Repellents Hide Human Odors from Anopheles Mosquitoes (2019)
Journal Article
Afify, A., Betz, J., Riabinina, O., Lahondere, C., & Potter, C. (2019). Commonly Used Insect Repellents Hide Human Odors from Anopheles Mosquitoes. Current Biology, 29(21), 3669-3680. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2019.09.007

The mode of action for most mosquito repellents is unknown. This is primarily due to the difficulty in monitoring how the mosquito olfactory system responds to repellent odors. Here, we used the Q-system of binary expression to enable activity-depend... Read More about Commonly Used Insect Repellents Hide Human Odors from Anopheles Mosquitoes.

Aims: AGR2 is a tissue-restricted member of the protein disulfide isomerase family that has attracted interest because it is highly expressed in a number of cancers, including gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The behavior of AGR2 was analyzed under o...

Climatic Change, 157(3-4), 337-354. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-019-02549-9

Climate change is a major global threat to biodiversity with widespread impacts on ecological communities. Evidence for beneficial impacts on populations is perceived to be stronger and more plentiful than that for negative impacts, but few studies h...

Best practice recommendations for the use of external telemetry devices on pinnipeds. Animal Biotelemetry, 7(1), Article 20. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-019-0182-6

Pinnipeds spend large portions of their lives at sea, submerged, or hauled-out on land, often on remote of-shore islands. This fundamentally limits access by researchers to critical parts of pinniped life history and has spurred the development and i...

The influence of different aspects of grouse moorland management on nontarget bird assemblages (2019)
Journal Article
Littlewood, N. A., Mason, T. H., Hughes, M., Jacques, R., Whittingham, M. J., & Willis, S. G. (2019). The influence of different aspects of grouse moorland management on nontarget bird assemblages. Ecology and Evolution, 9(19), 11089-11101. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.5613

Conflict between stakeholders with opposing interests can hamper biodiversity conservation. When conflicts become entrenched, evidence from applied ecology can reveal new ways forward for their management. In particular, where disagreement exists ove...

Coping with strangers: how familiarity and active interactions shape group coordination in Corydoras aeneus (2019)
Journal Article
Corydoras aeneus. Royal Society Open Science, 6(9), Article 190587. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.190587

Social groups composed of familiar individuals exhibit better coordination than unfamiliar groups; however, the ways familiarity contributes to coordination are poorly understood. Prior social experience probably allows individuals to learn the tende... Read More about Coping with strangers: how familiarity and active interactions shape group coordination in Corydoras aeneus.
