Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness, accounting for 8.7% of all blindness globally. Vision loss is caused ultimately by apoptosis of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and overlying photoreceptors. Treatment...

An assessment of phylogenetic tools for analyzing the interplay between interspecific interactions and phenotypic evolution (2017)
Journal Article
Drury, J., Grether, G., Garland Jr., T., & Morlon, H. (2018). An assessment of phylogenetic tools for analyzing the interplay between interspecific interactions and phenotypic evolution. Systematic Biology, 67(3), 413-427. https://doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syx079

Much ecological and evolutionary theory predicts that interspecific interactions often drive phenotypic diversification and that species phenotypes in turn influence species interactions. Several phylogenetic comparative methods have been developed t...

Life Cycle Inventory Analysis of Prospective Insect Based Feed Production in West Africa (2017)
Journal Article
Roffeis, M., Almeida, J., Wakefield, M., Valada, T., Devic, E., Koné, N., …Muys, B. (2017). Life Cycle Inventory Analysis of Prospective Insect Based Feed Production in West Africa. Sustainability, 9(10), Article 1697. https://doi.org/10.3390/su9101697

While the concept of insect based feeds (IBFs) promises great potential, especially in developing countries, the sustainability performance of IBF production remains widely underexplored. Drawing on experimental data from rearing trials in West Afric... Read More about Life Cycle Inventory Analysis of Prospective Insect Based Feed Production in West Africa.

Actin–membrane interactions mediated by NETWORKED2 in Arabidopsis pollen tubes through associations with Pollen Receptor-Like Kinase 4 and 5 (2017)
Journal Article
Duckney, P., Deeks, M., Dixon, M., Kroon, J., Hawkins, T., & Hussey, P. (2017). Actin–membrane interactions mediated by NETWORKED2 in Arabidopsis pollen tubes through associations with Pollen Receptor-Like Kinase 4 and 5. New Phytologist, 216(4), 1170-1180. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.14745

During fertilization, Pollen Receptor-Like Kinases (PRKs) control pollen tube growth through the pistil in response to extracellular signals, and regulate the actin cytoskeleton at the tube apex to drive tip growth. We investigated a novel link betwe... Read More about Actin–membrane interactions mediated by NETWORKED2 in Arabidopsis pollen tubes through associations with Pollen Receptor-Like Kinase 4 and 5.

Recognition of DNA Supercoil Geometry by Mycobacterium tuberculosis Gyrase (2017)
Journal Article
Ashley, R., Blower, T., Berger, J., & Osheroff, N. (2017). Recognition of DNA Supercoil Geometry by Mycobacterium tuberculosis Gyrase. Biochemistry, 56(40), 5440-5448. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.biochem.7b00681

Mycobacterium tuberculosis encodes only a single type II topoisomerase, gyrase. As a result, this enzyme likely carries out the cellular functions normally performed by canonical gyrase and topoisomerase IV, both in front of and behind the replicatio...

Earth System Science Data, 9(2), 679-695. https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-9-679-2017

Quaternary records provide an opportunity to examine the nature of the vegetation and fire responses to rapid past climate changes comparable in velocity and magnitude to those expected in the 21st-century. The best documented examples of rapid clima...
