AFLPs: genetic markers for paternity studies in newts (Triturus vulgaris) (2006)
Journal Article
Jehle, R., Whitlock, A., & Sztatecsny, M. (2006). AFLPs: genetic markers for paternity studies in newts (Triturus vulgaris). Amphibia-Reptilia, 27(1), 126-129. https://doi.org/10.1163/156853806776052029

DNA-based genetic markers can reveal paternity whenever the direct assignment of fathers to offspring is precluded by multiple matings and internal fertilisation. Microsatellites are the current marker of choice in many behavioural studies, and have... Read More about AFLPs: genetic markers for paternity studies in newts (Triturus vulgaris).

The effect of corrective taping of the patella on patella position as defined by MRI (2006)
Journal Article
Herrington, L. (2006). The effect of corrective taping of the patella on patella position as defined by MRI. Research in Sports Medicine, 14, 215-223. https://doi.org/10.1080/15438620600854785

Taping of the patella is a common treatment for patellofemoral pain syndrome
(PFPS) and has been shown to reduce pain. The reason for this
affect is unknown; it has been proposed that taping alters patella orientation.
Magnetic resonance imaging (... Read More about The effect of corrective taping of the patella on patella position as defined by MRI.

Female polyandry under male harassment: the case of the common toad (Bufo bufo) (2006)
Journal Article
common toad (Bufo bufo). Journal of Zoology, 270, 517-522. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7998.2006.00120.x

Several recent studies have demonstrated the occurrence of multiple paternity in
anuran amphibians, implying that it is more common than previously thought.
However, an adaptive explanation for polyandry in anurans is still lacking. The
common toa... Read More about Female polyandry under male harassment: the case of the common toad (Bufo bufo).
