Personal protection of permethrin-treated clothing against Aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue and Zika virus, in the laboratory (2016)
Journal Article

Background The dengue and Zika viruses are primarily transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are most active during day light hours and feed both in and outside of the household. Personal protection technologies such as insecticide-treated clo...

Cryptic Lineage Differentiation Among Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in the Northwest Indian Ocean (2017)
Journal Article

Phylogeography can provide insight into the potential for speciation and identify geographic regions and evolutionary processes associated with species richness and evolutionary endemism. In the marine environment, highly mobile species sometimes sho...

Samango monkeys (Cercopithecus albogularis labiatus) manage risk in a highly seasonal, human-modified landscape in Amathole Mountains, South Africa (2016)
Journal Article

Wild species use habitats that vary in risk across space and time. This risk can derive from natural predators and also from direct and indirect human pressures. A starving forager will often take risks that a less hungry forager would not. At a high...

Emotional intelligence and individual differences in affective processes underlying task-contingent conscientiousness (2017)
Journal Article

Organisational researchers have recently begun to focus on the more dynamic aspects of personality in the workplace. The present study examines individual differences in the affective processes that underlie one such dynamic construct, task-contingen...

The future of fish passage science, engineering, and practice (2017)
Journal Article

Much effort has been devoted to developing, constructing and refining fish passage facilities to enable target species to pass barriers on fluvial systems, and yet, fishway science, engineering and practice remain imperfect. In this review, 17 expert... Read More about The future of fish passage science, engineering, and practice.

Joint palaeoclimate reconstruction from pollen data via forward models and climate histories (2016)
Journal Article

We present a method and software for reconstructing palaeoclimate from pollen data with a focus on accounting for and reducing uncertainty. The tools we use include: forward models, which enable us to account for the data generating process and hence...

Delphinid systematics and biogeography with a focus on the current genus Lagenorhynchus: Multiple pathways for antitropical and trans-oceanic radiation (2014)
Journal Article

The six species currently classified within the genus Lagenorhynchus exhibit a pattern of antitropical distribution common among marine taxa. In spite of their morphological similarities they are now considered an artificial grouping, and include bot...

Bio-prospecting endemic Mascarene Aloes for potential neuroprotectants (2017)
Journal Article

The Mascarene Aloes are used in the traditional pharmacopoeia against various ailments including cutaneous diseases and as antispasmodics. Scientific evidence to support these claims is non-existent and mainly based on the scientific repute of A. ver...

Forecasting potential routes for movement of endemic birds among important sites for biodiversity in the Albertine Rift under projected climate change (2016)
Journal Article

The ability of species to shift their distributions in response to climate change may be impeded by lack of suitable climate or habitat between species’ current and future ranges. We examined the potential for climate and forest cover to limit the mo...

Predicting plant immunity gene expression by identifying the decoding mechanism of calcium signatures (2017)
Journal Article

Calcium plays a key role in determining the specificity of a vast array of signalling pathways in plants. Cellular calcium elevations with different characteristics (calcium signatures) carry information on the identity of the primary stimulus, ensur...

Envisioning the future of aquatic animal tracking: Technology, science, and application (2017)
Journal Article

Electronic tags are significantly improving our understanding of aquatic animal behavior and are emerging as key sources of information for conservation and management practices. Future aquatic integrative biology and ecology studies will increasingl... Read More about Envisioning the future of aquatic animal tracking: Technology, science, and application.

To copy or to innovate? The role of personality and social networks on children's learning strategies (2016)
Journal Article

In our technologically complex world, children frequently have problems to solve and skills to learn. They can develop solutions through learning strategies involving social learning or asocial endeavors. While evidence is emerging that children may... Read More about To copy or to innovate? The role of personality and social networks on children's learning strategies.

Selective copying of the majority suggests children are broadly “optimal-” rather than “over-” imitators (2017)
Journal Article

Human children, in contrast to other species, are frequently cast as prolific “over-imitators”. However, previous studies of “over-imitation” have overlooked many important real-world social dynamics, and may thus provide an inaccurate account of thi...

Cognitive Evolution and the Transmission of Popular Narratives: A Literature Review and Application to Urban Legends (2017)
Journal Article

Recent research into cultural transmission suggests that humans are disposed to learn, remember, and transmit certain types of information more easily than others, and that any information that is passed between people will be subjected to cognitive...
