Evidence of Varroa -mediated deformed wing virus spillover in Hawaii (2017)
Journal Article
Santamaria, J., Villalobos, E., Brettell, L., Nikaido, S., Graham, J., & Martin, S. (2017). Evidence of Varroa -mediated deformed wing virus spillover in Hawaii. Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 151, 126-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jip.2017.11.008

The spread of disease between closely related species is often times exacerbated by a vector. In this study, the Varroa mite, a pest exclusive to honeybees, has been shown to amplify the natural levels of the Deformed Wing virus, resulting in a spill...

A revised speech spectrum for STI calculations (2017)
Journal Article
Morales, L., Leembruggen, G., Dance, S., & Shield, B. (2018). A revised speech spectrum for STI calculations. Applied Acoustics, 132, 33-42. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2017.11.008

The ability of the Speech Transmission Index (STI) to predict speech intelligibility under noisy conditions is
highly dependent on the assumed spectrum of the speech signal. Examination of the literature showed that the
long-term average speech spe... Read More about A revised speech spectrum for STI calculations.

The potential for cool roofs to improve the energy efficiency of single storey warehouse-type retail buildings in Australia : a simulation case study (2017)
Journal Article

The majority of our understanding of the role of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHC) in recognition is based largely on temperate ant species and honey bees. The stingless bees remain relatively poorly studied, despite being the largest group of eusocial be...

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating has gained increased use in dating deltatic deposits, however, its application can be hindered by the problem of incomplete bleaching. To address this limitation, we test the single-grain OSL method for...
