Age-related divergent remodeling of the cardiac extracellular matrix in heart failure: collagen accumulation in the young and loss in the aged (2012)
Journal Article

The incidence of heart failure (HF) increases with age. This study sought to determine whether aging exacerbates structural and functional remodeling of the myocardium in HF. HF was induced in young (~18 months) and aged sheep (>8 years) by right ven...

Evidence for semantic communication in titi monkey alarm calls (2012)
Journal Article
Casar, C., Byrne, R., Hoppitt, W., Young, R., & Zuberbuhler, K. (2012). Evidence for semantic communication in titi monkey alarm calls. Animal Behaviour, 84(2), 405-411. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2012.05.010

Black-fronted titi monkeys, Callicebus nigrifrons, produce acoustically distinct vocalizations in response to several predator species. Compared to other primates, the calls are remarkably quiet, high-pitched and structurally simple, suggesting that... Read More about Evidence for semantic communication in titi monkey alarm calls.

High-sensitivity fluorescence lifetime thermal sensing based on CdTe quantum dots (2012)
Journal Article
Martinez Maestro, L., Haro-Gonzalez, P., Martin, I. R., García-Sole, J., & Jaque, D. (2012). High-sensitivity fluorescence lifetime thermal sensing based on CdTe quantum dots. Small, 8(17), 2652-2658. https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.201102736

The potential use of CdTe quantum dots as luminescence nano-probes for lifetime fluorescence nano-thermometry is demonstrated. The maximum thermal sensitivity achievable is strongly dependent on the quantum dot size. For the smallest sizes (close to...

Global honey bee viral landscape altered by a parasitic mite (2012)
Journal Article
Martin, S., Highfield, A., Brettell, L., Nikado, S., Villalobos, E., & Schoder, D. (2012). Global honey bee viral landscape altered by a parasitic mite. Science, 336(6086), 1304-1306. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1220941

Emerging diseases are among the greatest threats to honey bees. Unfortunately, where and when
an emerging disease will appear are almost impossible to predict. The arrival of the parasitic
Varroa mite into the Hawaiian honey bee population allowed... Read More about Global honey bee viral landscape altered by a parasitic mite.
