Computer simulation of leadership, consensus decision making and collective behaviour in humans
Journal Article
Wu, S., & Sun, Q. Computer simulation of leadership, consensus decision making and collective behaviour in humans. PLoS ONE, 9(1), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0080680

The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability of a
crowd simulation model developed by the authors by reproducing Dyer et al.’s experiments(published in Philosophical Transactions in 2009) on human leadership and
consensus decision-­making i... Read More about Computer simulation of leadership, consensus decision making and collective behaviour in humans.

Drug repositioning as a route to anti-malarial drug discovery: preliminary investigation of the in vitro anti-malarial efficacy of emetine dihydrochloride hydrate
Journal Article

Background

Drug repurposing or repositioning refers to the usage of existing drugs in diseases other than those it was originally used for. For diseases like malaria, where there is an urgent need for active drug candidates, the strategy offers a...

DNA barcoding unveils skate (Chondrichthyes: Rajidae) species diversity in ‘ray’ products sold across Ireland and the UK
Journal Article
Griffiths, A., Miller, D., Egan, A., Fox, J., Greenfield, A., & Mariani, S. DNA barcoding unveils skate (Chondrichthyes: Rajidae) species diversity in ‘ray’ products sold across Ireland and the UK. PeerJ, 1, e129. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.129

Skates are widely consumed across the globe, but many large species are subject to
considerable concern regarding their conservation and management. Within Europe
such issues have recently driven policy changes so that, for the first time, reports... Read More about DNA barcoding unveils skate (Chondrichthyes: Rajidae) species diversity in ‘ray’ products sold across Ireland and the UK.

Preferred habitat and effective population size drive landscape genetic patterns in an endangered species
Journal Article
Weckworth, B., Musiani, M., DeCesare, N., McDevitt, A., Hebblewhite, M., & Mariani, S. Preferred habitat and effective population size drive landscape genetic patterns in an endangered species. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 280(1769), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2013.1756

Landscape genetics provides a framework for pinpointing environmental features
that determine the important exchange of migrants among populations.
These studies usually test the significance of environmental variables on
gene flow, yet ignore one... Read More about Preferred habitat and effective population size drive landscape genetic patterns in an endangered species.

Assessing doses to terrestrial wildlife at a radioactive waste disposal site: Inter-comparison of modelling approaches
Journal Article

Radiological doses to terrestrial wildlife were examined in this model inter-comparison study that emphasised factors causing variability in dose estimation. The study participants used varying modelling approaches and information sources to estimate...
