Evidence for the involvement of ASIC3 in sensory mechanotransduction in proprioceptors (2016)
Journal Article
Lin, S., Cheng, Y., Banks, R. W., Min, M., Bewick, G. S., & Chen, C. (2016). Evidence for the involvement of ASIC3 in sensory mechanotransduction in proprioceptors. Nature Communications, 7, Article 11460. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms11460

Acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3) is involved in acid nociception, but its possible role in neurosensory mechanotransduction is disputed. We report here the generation of Asic3-knockout/eGFPf-knockin mice and subsequent characterization of heterogen...

Population genetics of self-incompatibility in a clade of relict cliff-dwelling plant species (2016)
Journal Article
Silva, J., Brennan, A., & Mejías, J. (2016). Population genetics of self-incompatibility in a clade of relict cliff-dwelling plant species. AoB PLANTS, 8, Article plw029. https://doi.org/10.1093/aobpla/plw029

The mating systems of species in small or fragmented populations impact upon their persistence. Small self-incompatible (SI) populations risk losing S allele diversity, responsible for the SI response, by drift thereby limiting mate availability and...

Recent evidence supports the existence of a downstream autumn-migratory phenotype in juvenile anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta), however the precise timing, extent and ecological significance of such behaviour remains ambiguous. We investigated t... Read More about Investigating the phenology of seaward migration of juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta) in two European populations.
