Journal of Travel Research, 63(1), 175-194. https://doi.org/10.1177/00472875221145129

Tourism is one of the most vulnerable industries to disasters, and empirical studies on disaster preparedness have been surprisingly sparse. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior, this study sheds light on the unexplored mediating role of strateg...

Effects of an IgE receptor polymorphism acting on immunity, susceptibility to infection, and reproduction in a wild rodent (2023)
Journal Article
Wanelik, K. M., Begon, M., Bradley, J. E., Friberg, I. M., Jackson, J. A., Taylor, C. H., & Paterson, S. (2023). Effects of an IgE receptor polymorphism acting on immunity, susceptibility to infection, and reproduction in a wild rodent. eLife, 12, https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.77666

The genotype of an individual is an important predictor of their immune function, and subsequently, their ability to control or avoid infection and ultimately contribute offspring to the next generation. However, the same genotype, subjected to diffe... Read More about Effects of an IgE receptor polymorphism acting on immunity, susceptibility to infection, and reproduction in a wild rodent.

Upper-air meteorological dataset for Uyo, using radiosonde. (2023)
Journal Article

Weather pattern anomalies and climate change have greatly impacted human activities and the environment in varying ways. Whether induced naturally or by anthropogenic activities, it remains a menace to global public health. A foreknowledge of the wea...

Although the Amazon has the greatest diversity of primates, there are still taxonomic uncertainties for many taxa, such as the species of the Saguinus mystax group. The most geographically broadly distributed and phenotypically diverse species in thi...

Orange peel biomass‐derived carbon supported Cu electrocatalysts active in the CO2 ‐ reduction to formic acid (2023)
Journal Article
Miah, T., Demoro, P., Nduka, I., De Luca, F., Abate, S., & Arrigo, R. (2023). Orange peel biomass‐derived carbon supported Cu electrocatalysts active in the CO2 ‐ reduction to formic acid. ChemPhysChem, https://doi.org/10.1002/cphc.202200589

We report a green, wet chemistry approach towards the production of C‐supported Cu electrocatalysts active in the CO2 reduction to formic acid. We use citrus peels as a C support precursor and as a source of reducing agents for the Cu cations. We sho...

Resource competition drives an invasion‐replacement event among shrew species on an island (2023)
Journal Article
Browett, S., Synnott, R., O'Meara, D., Antwis, R., Browett, S., Bown, K., …McDevitt, A. (2023). Resource competition drives an invasion‐replacement event among shrew species on an island. Journal of Animal Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13855

Invasive mammals are responsible for the majority of native species extinctions on islands. While most of these extinction events will be due to novel interactions between species (e.g. exotic predators and naive prey), it is more unusual to find inc...

Investigation into the potential of using UV-treated sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella as a local solution to immunization of chickens against caecal coccidiosis (2023)
Journal Article
Djemai, S., Mekroud, A., Hide, G., Khelifi, D., & Bellil, I. (in press). Investigation into the potential of using UV-treated sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella as a local solution to immunization of chickens against caecal coccidiosis. Journal of Parasitic Diseases, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12639-022-01562-7

In this study, we aim to evaluate the immune response of chickens to UV-treated sporulated oocysts as a means of protection against caecal coccidiosis caused by field strains of Eimeria tenella. Two groups of chicks were immunized using prepared UV-t...
