Environmental Enrichment : the creation of opportunities for informal learning (2019)
Book Chapter

This chapter focuses on the informal learning opportunities that arise from environmental enrichment and what their consequences are for the animal. Environmental enrichment typically involves the addition of novel stimuli to a captive animal's envir...

Functional genomics of a symbiotic community : shared traits in the olive fruit fly gut microbiota (2019)
Journal Article

The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae is a major pest of olives worldwide and houses a specialized gut microbiota dominated by the obligate symbiont “Candidatus Erwinia dacicola”. Ca. E. dacicola is thought to supplement dietary nitrogen to the host,... Read More about Functional genomics of a symbiotic community : shared traits in the olive fruit fly gut microbiota.

Changes in social groups across reintroductions and effects on post‐release survival (2019)
Journal Article
R. Franks, V., E. Andrews, C., G. Ewen, J., McCready, M., A. Parker, K., & Thorogood, R. (2020). Changes in social groups across reintroductions and effects on post‐release survival. Animal Conservation, 23(4), 443-454. https://doi.org/10.1111/acv.12557

Reintroductions, essential to many conservation programmes, disrupt both abiotic and social environments. Despite growing recognition that social connections in animals might alter survival (e.g. social transmission of foraging skills, or transmissio...

Supplementary material for 'Effects of a Hovering Unmanned Aerial Vehicle on Urban Soundscapes Perception' (2019)
Data

Audio stimuli used for this research. Audio samples for each location measured (i.e. L1 to L7) without (e.g. L1) and with a hovering drone (e.g. L1D).

Influence of synthesis conditions on the structure of nickel nanoparticles and their reactivity in selective asymmetric hydrogenation (2019)
Journal Article

Unsupported and SiO2-supported Ni nanoparticles (NPs), were synthesised via hot-injection colloidal route using oleylamine (OAm) and trioctylphosphine (TOP) as reducing and protective agents, respectively. By adopting a multi-length scale structural... Read More about Influence of synthesis conditions on the structure of nickel nanoparticles and their reactivity in selective asymmetric hydrogenation.

Impact of alloy fluctuations and Coulomb effects on the electronic and optical properties of c-plane GaN/AlGaN quantum wells (2019)
Journal Article

We report on a combined theoretical and experimental study of the impact of alloy fluctuations and Coulomb effects on the
electronic and optical properties of c-plane GaN/AlGaN multi-quantum well systems. The presence of carrier localization
effect... Read More about Impact of alloy fluctuations and Coulomb effects on the electronic and optical properties of c-plane GaN/AlGaN quantum wells.

Varroa destructor reproduction and cell re-capping in mite-resistant Apis mellifera populations (2019)
Journal Article
Martin, S., Hawkins, G., Brettell, L., Reece, N., Correia-Oliveira, M., & Allsopp, M. (2020). Varroa destructor reproduction and cell re-capping in mite-resistant Apis mellifera populations. Apidologie, 51(3), 369-381. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13592-019-00721-9

Globalization has facilitated the spread of emerging pests such as the Varroa destructor mite, resulting in the near global distribution of the pest. In South African and Brazilian honey bees, mite-resistant colonies appeared within a decade; in Euro...

Hypoxia and hyperglycaemia determine why some endometrial tumours fail to respond to metformin (2019)
Journal Article

High expression of Ki67, a proliferation marker, is associated with reduced endometrial cancer-specific survival. Pre-surgical metformin reduces tumour Ki-67 expression in some women with endometrial cancer. Metformin's anti-cancer activity may relat...
