Artificial grass and schools: a synthetic novelty? (2012)
Journal Article

This paper focuses on the larger transformation of green space, in particular the use of artificial grass in Birmingham’s inner-city primary schools. The paper uses a combination of observation and informal interviews to explore the artificial grasse... Read More about Artificial grass and schools: a synthetic novelty?.

Cebus Phylogenetic relationships: A preliminary reassessment of the diversity of the untufted capuchin monkeys (2012)
Journal Article
Boubli, J., Rylands, A., Farias, I., Alfaro, M., & Alfaro, J. (2012). Cebus Phylogenetic relationships: A preliminary reassessment of the diversity of the untufted capuchin monkeys. American Journal of Primatology, 74(4), 381-393. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.21998

The untufted, or gracile, capuchin monkeys are currently classiﬁed in four species, Cebus albifrons, C.
capucinus, C. olivaceus, and C. kaapori, with all but C. kaaporihaving numerous described subspecies.
The taxonomy is controversial and their ge... Read More about Cebus Phylogenetic relationships: A preliminary reassessment of the diversity of the untufted capuchin monkeys.

Intraspecific variability in the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma chilonis : can we predict the outcome of hybridization? (2012)
Journal Article

In the framework of biological control, the selection of effective natural enemies
determines the ﬁnal pest control. Thus, the genetic improvement of biocontrol
agents could enhance the efﬁciency of biocontrol programs. Although promising,
this ap... Read More about Intraspecific variability in the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma chilonis : can we predict the outcome of hybridization?.

PPARγ as a molecular target of EPA anti-inflammatory activity during TNF-α-impaired skeletal muscle cell differentiation (2012)
Journal Article

Activated skeletal muscle satellite cells facilitate muscle repair or growth through proliferation, differentiation and fusion into new or existing myotubes. Elevated levels of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) impair this...
