Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 285(1873), Article 20172329. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2017.2329

Climate change is predicted to increase migration distances for many migratory species, but the physiological and temporal implications of longer migratory journeys have not been explored. Here, we combine information about species' flight range pote... Read More about Flight range, fuel load, and the impact of climate change on the journeys of migrant birds.

With the World Health Organization reporting over 30,000 deaths and 200-400,000 new cases annually, visceral Leishmaniasis is a serious disease affecting some of the world's poorest people. As drug resistance continues to rise, there is a huge unmet...

Fifty shades of SUMO: its role in immunity and at the fulcrum of the growth-defence balance (2018)
Journal Article
Verma, V., Croley, F., & Sadanandom, A. (2018). Fifty shades of SUMO: its role in immunity and at the fulcrum of the growth-defence balance. Molecular Plant Pathology, 19(6), 1537-1544. https://doi.org/10.1111/mpp.12625

The sessile nature of plants requires them to cope with an ever‐changing environment. Effective adaptive responses require sophisticated cellular mechanisms at the post‐transcriptional and post‐translational levels. Post‐translational modification by...

Rapid improvements to rural Ugandan housing and their association with malaria from intense to reduced transmission: a cohort study. The Lancet Planetary Health, 2(2), e83-e94. https://doi.org/10.1016/s2542-5196%2818%2930010-x

Background Rapid population growth in Africa requires an urgent expansion and improvement of housing options. Improving housing presents a promising opportunity for malaria control by reducing indoor exposure to mosquitoes. We measured recent changes...

Laccase GhLac1 modulates broad-spectrum biotic stress tolerance via manipulating phenylpropanoid pathway and jasmonic acid synthesis (2018)
Journal Article

Plants are constantly challenged by a multitude of pathogens and pests, which causes massive yield and quality losses annually. A promising approach to reduce such losses is to enhance the immune system of plants through genetic engineering. Previous...

Global rise in emerging alien species results from increased accessibility of new source pools (2018)
Journal Article
Seebens, H., Blackburn, T. M., Dyer, E. E., Genovesi, P., Hulme, P. E., Jeschke, J. M., …Essl, F. (2018). Global rise in emerging alien species results from increased accessibility of new source pools. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 115(10), E2264-E2273. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1719429115

Our ability to predict the identity of future invasive alien species is largely based upon knowledge of prior invasion history. Emerging alien species—those never encountered as aliens before—therefore pose a significant challenge to biosecurity inte...

Frequency selection in palaeoclimate time series: a model-based approach incorporating possible time uncertainty (2018)
Journal Article
Franke, P. M., Huntley, B., & Parnell, A. C. (2018). Frequency selection in palaeoclimate time series: a model-based approach incorporating possible time uncertainty. Environmetrics, 29(2), Article e2492. https://doi.org/10.1002/env.2492

A key aspect of paleoclimate time series analysis is the identification of frequency behavior. Commonly, this is achieved by calculating a power spectrum and comparing this spectrum with that of a simplified model. Traditional hypothesis testing meth...

Competition between closely related species has long been viewed as a powerful selective force that drives trait diversification, thereby generating phenotypic diversity over macroevolutionary timescales. However, although the impact of interspecific... Read More about Contrasting impacts of competition on ecological and social trait evolution in songbirds.
