Determining management strategies to control ash dieback disease through molecular and environmental interactions (2023)
Thesis
Raykova, A. (2023). Determining management strategies to control ash dieback disease through molecular and environmental interactions. (Thesis). University of Salford

Forest trees have been increasingly threatened by invasive pathogens, endangering associated biodiversity, and reducing ecosystems. Such an alien pathogen, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, has had considerable impacts on the common ash tree (Fraxinus exce...

Remotely sensed localised primary production anomalies predict the burden and community structure of infection in long‐term rodent datasets (2023)
Journal Article
Jackson, J. A., Bajer, A., Behnke-Borowczyk, J., Gilbert, F., Grzybek, M., Alsarraf, M., & Behnke, J. (in press). Remotely sensed localised primary production anomalies predict the burden and community structure of infection in long‐term rodent datasets. Global Change Biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16898

The increasing frequency and cost of zoonotic disease emergence due to global change have led to calls for the primary surveillance of wildlife. This should be facilitated by the ready availability of remotely sensed environmental data, given the imp...

Early‐life immune expression profiles predict later‐life health and fitness in a wild rodent (2023)
Journal Article
Wanelik, K. M., Begon, M., Bradley, J. E., Friberg, I. M., Taylor, C. H., Jackson, J. A., & Paterson, S. (2023). Early‐life immune expression profiles predict later‐life health and fitness in a wild rodent. Molecular Ecology, 32(13), 3471-3482. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16950

Individuals differ in the nature of the immune responses they produce, affecting dis-ease susceptibility and ultimately health and fitness. These differences have been hypothesized to have an origin in events experienced early in...

Discrete patterns of microbiome variability across timescales in a wild rodent population (2023)
Journal Article
Fenn, J., Taylor, C., Goertz, S., Wanelik, K. M., Paterson, S., Begon, M., …Bradley, J. (2023). Discrete patterns of microbiome variability across timescales in a wild rodent population. BMC microbiology, 23(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12866-023-02824-x

Mammalian gastrointestinal microbiomes are highly variable, both within individuals and across populations, with changes linked to time and ageing being widely reported. Discerning patterns of change in wild mammal popula- tions can therefore prove... Read More about Discrete patterns of microbiome variability across timescales in a wild rodent population.

Effects of an IgE receptor polymorphism acting on immunity, susceptibility to infection, and reproduction in a wild rodent (2023)
Journal Article
Wanelik, K. M., Begon, M., Bradley, J. E., Friberg, I. M., Jackson, J. A., Taylor, C. H., & Paterson, S. (2023). Effects of an IgE receptor polymorphism acting on immunity, susceptibility to infection, and reproduction in a wild rodent. eLife, 12, https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.77666

The genotype of an individual is an important predictor of their immune function, and subsequently, their ability to control or avoid infection and ultimately contribute offspring to the next generation. However, the same genotype, subjected to diffe... Read More about Effects of an IgE receptor polymorphism acting on immunity, susceptibility to infection, and reproduction in a wild rodent.
