Histamine, histamine receptors and neuropathic pain relief (2019)
Journal Article

Histamine, acting via distinct histamine H1, H2, H3 and H4 receptors (H1R, H2R, H3R, H4R), regulates various physiological and pathological processes, including pain. In the last two decades, there has been a particular increase in evidence to suppor... Read More about Histamine, histamine receptors and neuropathic pain relief.

Handaxe types, colonization waves, and social norms in the British Acheulean (2020)
Journal Article

The handaxes of north-western Europe are some of the most varied in the Acheulean world, with the meanings of that variation debated since the late nineteenth century. To reassess handaxe form in this region, we performed a 3D morphometric analysis o... Read More about Handaxe types, colonization waves, and social norms in the British Acheulean.

Histamine and Delirium: Current Opinion (2019)
Journal Article

Delirium is a very common, but refractory clinical state, notably present in intensive care and in the growing aging community. It is characterized by fluctuating disturbances in a number of key behavioral features, namely cognition, mood, attention,... Read More about Histamine and Delirium: Current Opinion.

Rapid assessment of avian species richness and abundance using acoustic indices (2020)
Journal Article

Accelerating global shifts in climate and land use change are altering natural habitats and species assemblages, making management interventions crucial to halt the biodiversity crisis. Management decisions must be informed by accurate biodiversity a... Read More about Rapid assessment of avian species richness and abundance using acoustic indices.

A study of children’s classroom questions in relation to elementary science teaching (2018)
Journal Article

Scientific enquiry is a creative process, commonly beginning with a question or problem, then generating a tentative answer or solution, and testing it. In the classroom, the question, perhaps in the form of a problem, is generally given, ready-made,...

Engagement of students in their learning is a positive approach to enhance their educational experience. Engagement is, however, a broad term with a variety of meanings. When attempting to engage students in order to raise their academic attainment i... Read More about Teachers’ pedagogies and strategies of engagement.

Neolithic farming and wild plant exploitation in western Britain: archaeobotanical and crop stable isotope evidence from Wales (c. 4000–2200 cal BC) (2019)
Journal Article

The introduction of agriculture is a key defining element of the Neolithic, yet considerable debate persists concerning the nature and significance of early farming practices in north-west Europe. This paper reviews archaeobotanical evidence from 95...

A comprehensive assessment of stream fragmentation in Great Britain (2019)
Journal Article

Artificial barriers are one of the main threats to river ecosystems, resulting in habitat fragmentation and loss of connectivity. Yet, the abundance and distribution of most artificial barriers, excluding high-head dams, is poorly documented. We prov...

Baboon biogeography, divergence and evolution: morphological and palaeoecological perspectives (2020)
Journal Article

Papio originated in the early Pleistocene and diverged into multiple species, six of which are extant. Among parapatric Papio species, there are obvious phenotypic differences that arose during the radiation of the genus. We use data from modern babo...

Sex-specific impact of inbreeding on pathogen load in the striped dolphin (2020)
Journal Article

The impact of inbreeding on fitness has been widely studied and provides consequential inference about adaptive potential and the impact on survival for reduced and fragmented natural populations. Correlations between heterozygosity and fitness are c... Read More about Sex-specific impact of inbreeding on pathogen load in the striped dolphin.

Environmental temperature and growth faltering in African children: a cross-sectional study (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Child growth faltering persists in sub-Saharan Africa despite the scale-up of nutrition, water, and sanitation interventions over the past 2 decades. High temperatures have been hypothesised to contribute to child growth faltering via an...

The limits to population density in birds and mammals (2019)
Journal Article

We address two fundamental ecological questions: what are the limits to animal population density and what determines those limits? We develop simple alternative models to predict population limits in relation to body mass. A model assuming that with... Read More about The limits to population density in birds and mammals.
