Problem-solving and spontaneous tool-using ability in European Brown Bears (Ursus arctos arctos) (2023)
Journal Article
Chambers, H., & O'Hara, S. Problem-solving and spontaneous tool-using ability in European Brown Bears (Ursus arctos arctos). Animal Behavior and Cognition, 10(1), 40-61. https://doi.org/10.26451/abc.10.01.03.2023

Little is known about the cognitive abilities of bears, despite possessing relatively large brains for their body size. One reason this group is perhaps overlooked is because they are thought to fail to conform to the “social brain” hypothesis, by be...

The Toxoplasma micropore mediates endocytosis for selective nutrient salvage from host cell compartments (2023)
Journal Article
Wan, W., Dong, H., Lai, D., Yang, J., He, K., Tang, X., …Long, S. (in press). The Toxoplasma micropore mediates endocytosis for selective nutrient salvage from host cell compartments. Nature communications, 14(1), 997. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-36571-4

Apicomplexan parasite growth and replication relies on nutrient acquisition from host cells, in which intracellular multiplication occurs, yet the mechanisms that underlie the nutrient salvage remain elusive. Numerous ultrastructural studies have doc... Read More about The Toxoplasma micropore mediates endocytosis for selective nutrient salvage from host cell compartments.

Varroa resistance in Apis cerana: a review (2023)
Journal Article
Grindrod, I., & Martin, S. (2023). Varroa resistance in Apis cerana: a review. Apidologie, 54, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13592-022-00977-8

Varroa is a major world-wide pest to Western honey bees (Apis mellifera), causing huge ongoing losses of colonies every year. Conversely, the Eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) is less vulnerable to the mite having existed alongside it over a long evolu... Read More about Varroa resistance in Apis cerana: a review.

Passive tracer transport in peristaltic pumping of non-Newtonian blood flow: A mathematical model (2023)
Journal Article
Beg, O., & Roy, A. K. (2023). Passive tracer transport in peristaltic pumping of non-Newtonian blood flow: A mathematical model. International Journal of Modern Physics B, 37(30), https://doi.org/10.1142/s0217979223502624

The large time behavior of passive contaminant in non-Newtonian peristaltic blood flow in a two-dimensional (2D) channel (capillary) has been examined in this paper. The power-law model is employed in order to highlight the non-Newtonian blood charac...

A survey of UK beekeeper’s Varroa treatment habits (2023)
Journal Article
Valentine, A., & Martin, S. (2023). A survey of UK beekeeper’s Varroa treatment habits. PLoS ONE,

The global spread of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor instigated a substantial decline in both managed and feral honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies mainly across the Northern hemisphere. In response, many beekeepers began to treat their colonies... Read More about A survey of UK beekeeper’s Varroa treatment habits.

Studies of the reproductive functional morphology of chelonians are important to understand the reproductive physiology, anatomy, and endocrinology of these species. However, data on the reproduction of this group have been difficult to obtain becaus...
