Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the tropical hornet Vespa affinis (Insecta, Hymenoptera) (2017)
Journal Article

We analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the Asian tropical hornet Vespa affinis from Ishigaki Island, Japan. It consisted of a circular molecule with 19,109 bp, which is larger to other hornet species e.g. V. velutina. We predicted the genom...

Active migration is associated with specific and consistent changes to gut microbiota in Calidris shorebirds (2017)
Journal Article
Risely, A., Waite, D. W., Ujvari, B., Hoye, B. J., & Klaassen, M. (2018). Active migration is associated with specific and consistent changes to gut microbiota in Calidris shorebirds. Journal of Animal Ecology, 87(2), 428-437. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.12784

Gut microbes are increasingly recognised for their role in regulating an animal's metabolism and immunity. However, identifying repeatable associations between host physiological processes and their gut microbiota has proved challenging, in part beca...

Consideration of urban green space in impact assessments for health (2017)
Journal Article
Fischer, T., Urmila, J., Fawcett, P., Clement, S., Hayes, S., & Nowacki, J. (2018). Consideration of urban green space in impact assessments for health. Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal, 36(1), 32-44. https://doi.org/10.1080/14615517.2017.1364021

This paper explores how health aspects connected with the planning of urban green space are currently supported through two types of impact assessments: health impact assessment (HIA) and environmental assessment, including strategic environmental as...

Treatment of synthetic textile wastewater containing dye mixtures with microcosms (2017)
Journal Article
Yaseen, D., & Scholz, M. (2018). Treatment of synthetic textile wastewater containing dye mixtures with microcosms. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 25(2), 1980-1997. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-017-0633-7

The aim was to assess the ability of microcosms (laboratory-scale shallow ponds) as a post polishing stage for the remediation of artificial textile wastewater comprising two commercial dyes (basic red 46 (BR46) and reactive blue 198 (RB198)) as a mi...

Corticosteroid treatment is associated with increased filamentous fungal burden in allergic fungal disease (2017)
Journal Article
allergic fungal disease. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 142(2), 407-414. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci.2017.09.039

Background
Allergic diseases caused by fungi are common. The best understood conditions are allergic
bronchopulmonaryaspergillosis (ABPA) and severe asthma with fungal sensitisation (SAFS).
Our knowledge of the fungal microbiome (mycobiome) is li... Read More about Corticosteroid treatment is associated with increased filamentous fungal burden in allergic fungal disease.

Insight into glucocorticoid receptor signalling through interactome model analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Bakker, E., Tian, K., Mutti, L., Demonacos, C., Schwartz, J., & Krstic-Demonacos, M. (2017). Insight into glucocorticoid receptor signalling through interactome model analysis. PLoS Computational Biology, 13(11), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005825

Glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) are used to treat a variety of diseases because of their potent anti-inflammatory effect and their ability to induce apoptosis in lymphoid malignancies through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Despite ongoing research,... Read More about Insight into glucocorticoid receptor signalling through interactome model analysis.

Mainstreaming ecosystem science in spatial planning practice : exploiting a hybrid opportunity space (2017)
Journal Article

This paper develops a framework for improved mainstreaming of ecosystem science in policy and decision-making within a spatial planning context. Ecosystem science is advanced as a collective umbrella to capture a body of work and approaches rooted i...

Predisposition of forests to biotic disturbance : predicting the distribution of Acute Oak Decline using environmental factors (2017)
Journal Article
Brown, N., Vanguelova, E., Parnell, S., Broadmeadow, S., & Denman, S. (2018). Predisposition of forests to biotic disturbance : predicting the distribution of Acute Oak Decline using environmental factors. Forest Ecology and Management, 407(1), 145-154. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2017.10.054

In the UK, Acute Oak Decline (AOD) has caused much concern, due to its distinctive symptoms and its potential to impact oak species that form the largest component of native broadleaf woodland. Decline complexes involve multiple biotic and abiotic fa...

Interoperability specification development for integrated BIM use in performance based design (2017)
Journal Article

Interoperability in BIM is low and the focus is on 3D coordination. Despite the available standards including IFC and IDM, there is still no clear guidance how such standards can be effectively used for performance based design. Thus, early collabora...

Amphibian skin defences show variation in ability to inhibit growth of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis isolates from the Global Panzootic Lineage (2017)
Journal Article
Antwis, R., & Weldon, C. (2017). Amphibian skin defences show variation in ability to inhibit growth of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis isolates from the Global Panzootic Lineage. Microbiology, 163(12), 1835-1838. https://doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.000570

The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has caused declines and extinctions in hundreds of amphibian species across the world. Virulence varies among and within lineages; the Global Panzootic Lineage (GPL) is the most pathogenic, although...
