Conservation genetics of the European fallow deer: a reply to Marchesini et al (2021)
Journal Article
Baker, K. H., Gray, H. W., Pekşen, Ç. A., & Hoelzel, A. R. (2021). Conservation genetics of the European fallow deer: a reply to Marchesini et al. Mammalian Biology, 101(3), 313-319. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42991-021-00121-6

In this letter, we revisit a study we published in 2017, following comment in a paper by Marchesini et al. published in this volume. We provide some further analyses that help us to reinforce the original conclusions of our earlier paper, and to addr...

Demography and adaptation promoting evolutionary transitions in a mammalian genus that diversified during the Pleistocene (2020)
Journal Article
De Jong, M., Li, Z., Qin, Y., Quemere, E., Baker, K., Wang, W., & Hoelzel, A. (2020). Demography and adaptation promoting evolutionary transitions in a mammalian genus that diversified during the Pleistocene. Molecular Ecology, 29(15), 2777-2792. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.15450

Species that evolved in temperate regions during the Pleistocene experienced periods of extreme climatic transitions. Consequent population fragmentation and dynamics had the potential to generate small, isolated populations where the influence of ge...

Variation in the prion protein gene (PRNP) sequence of wild deer in Great Britain and mainland Europe (2019)
Journal Article
Robinson, A. L., Williamson, H., Güere, M. E., Tharaldsen, H., Baker, K., Smith, S. L., …Houston, F. (2019). Variation in the prion protein gene (PRNP) sequence of wild deer in Great Britain and mainland Europe. Veterinary Research, 50(1), Article 59. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13567-019-0675-6

Susceptibility to prion diseases is largely determined by the sequence of the prion protein gene (PRNP), which encodes the prion protein (PrP). The recent emergence of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Europe has highlighted the need to investigate PR...

Ireland's fallow deer: their historical, archaeological and biomolecular records (2018)
Journal Article
Beglane, F., Baker, K., Carden, R., Rus Hoelzel, A., Lamb, A., Mhig Fhionnghaile, R., …Sykes, S. (2018). Ireland's fallow deer: their historical, archaeological and biomolecular records. Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy: Archaeology, Culture, History, Literature, 118C, 141-165. https://doi.org/10.3318/priac.2018.118.01

The Anglo-Normans first introduced fallow deer (Dama dama) to Ireland in the thirteenth century, however no biomolecular research has previously been undertaken to examine the timing, circumstances and impact of the arrival of this species. This stud... Read More about Ireland's fallow deer: their historical, archaeological and biomolecular records.
