Journal Article
King, R., Davey, J., Bell, J., Read, D., Bohan, D., & Symondson, W. (2012). Suction sampling as a significant source of error in molecular analysis of predator diets. Bulletin of Entomological Research, 102(3), 261 - 266. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007485311000575

The molecular detection of predation is a fast growing field, allowing highly specific and sensitive detection of prey DNA within the gut contents or faeces of a predator. Like all molecular methods, this technique is prone to potential sources of er... Read More about Suction sampling as a significant source of error in molecular analysis of predator diets.

Insect oral secretions suppress wound-induced responses in Arabidopsis. (2011)
Journal Article
(2011). Insect oral secretions suppress wound-induced responses in Arabidopsis. Journal of Experimental Biology, 727 - 737. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/err308

The induction of plant defences and their subsequent suppression by insects is thought to be an important factor in the evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores. Although insect oral secretions (OS) contain elicitors that trigger plant im... Read More about Insect oral secretions suppress wound-induced responses in Arabidopsis..

Generalist predators disrupt parasitoid aphid control by direct and coincidental intraguild predation (2011)
Journal Article
Traugott, M., Bell, J., Raso, L., Sint, D., & Symondson, W. (2012). Generalist predators disrupt parasitoid aphid control by direct and coincidental intraguild predation. Bulletin of Entomological Research, 102(2), 239 - 247. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0007485311000551

Generalist predators and parasitoids are considered to be important regulators of aphids. The former not only feed on these pests, but might also consume parasitoids at all stages of development. This direct or coincidental interference affects the n... Read More about Generalist predators disrupt parasitoid aphid control by direct and coincidental intraguild predation.

How can microbial interactions with the blood-brain barrier modulate astroglial and neuronal function?: How can the blood-brain barrier endothelium influence the brain? (2011)
Journal Article
Grab, D. J., Chakravorty, S. J., van der Heyde, H., & Stins, M. F. (2011). How can microbial interactions with the blood-brain barrier modulate astroglial and neuronal function?: How can the blood-brain barrier endothelium influence the brain?. Cellular Microbiology, 13(10), 1470-1478. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-5822.2011.01661.x

The vascular endothelium of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is regarded as a part of the neurovascular unit (NVU). This emerging NVU concept emphasizes the need for homeostatic signalling among the neuronal, glial and vascular endothelial cellular comp...

Not all songbirds calibrate their magnetic compass from twilight cues: a telemetry study (2011)
Journal Article
Chernetsov, N., Kishkinev, D., Kosarev, V., & Bolshakov, C. V. (2011). Not all songbirds calibrate their magnetic compass from twilight cues: a telemetry study. Journal of Experimental Biology, 214(15), 2540-2543. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.057729

Migratory birds are able to use the sun and associated polarised light patterns, stellar cues and the geomagnetic field for orientation. No general agreement has been reached regarding the hierarchy of orientation cues. Recent data from naturally mig...

The trait and host plant ecology of aphids and their distribution and abundance in the United Kingdom (2011)
Journal Article
Bell, J. R., Taylor, M. S., Shortall, C. R., Welham, S. J., & Harrington, R. (2012). The trait and host plant ecology of aphids and their distribution and abundance in the United Kingdom. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 21(4), 405-415. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1466-8238.2011.00685.x

Aim We characterized the annual populations of 170 aphid species by their log abundance, site occupancy and site continuity (i.e. the persistence of species in time) and used this information to make predictions about groups of species that displayed...

Candidate tumour suppressor Fau regulates apoptosis in human cells: An essential role for Bcl-G (2011)
Journal Article
Pickard, M. R., Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., & Williams, G. T. (2011). Candidate tumour suppressor Fau regulates apoptosis in human cells: An essential role for Bcl-G. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1812(9), 1146-1153. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbadis.2011.04.009

FAU, which encodes a ubiquitin-like protein (termed FUBI) with ribosomal protein S30 as a carboxy-terminal extension, has recently been identified as a pro-apoptotic regulatory gene. This activity may be mediated by Bcl-G (a pro-apoptotic member of t... Read More about Candidate tumour suppressor Fau regulates apoptosis in human cells: An essential role for Bcl-G.

Mutations in protocadherin 15 and cadherin 23 affect tip links and mechanotransduction in mammalian sensory hair cells (2011)
Journal Article
(2011). Mutations in protocadherin 15 and cadherin 23 affect tip links and mechanotransduction in mammalian sensory hair cells. PloS one, e19183 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0019183

Immunocytochemical studies have shown that protocadherin-15 (PCDH15) and cadherin-23 (CDH23) are associated with tip links, structures thought to gate the mechanotransducer channels of hair cells in the sensory epithelia of the inner ear. The present... Read More about Mutations in protocadherin 15 and cadherin 23 affect tip links and mechanotransduction in mammalian sensory hair cells.

Identification of novel proteins in Neospora caninum using an organelle purification and monoclonal antibody approach (2011)

Neospora caninum is an important veterinary pathogen that causes abortion in cattle and neuromuscular disease in dogs. Neospora has also generated substantial interest because it is an extremely close relative of the human pathogen Toxoplasma gondii,...

Eps8 regulates hair bundle length and functional maturation of mammalian auditory hair cells (2011)
Journal Article
(2011). Eps8 regulates hair bundle length and functional maturation of mammalian auditory hair cells. PLoS Biology, 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1001048a

Hair cells of the mammalian cochlea are specialized for the dynamic coding of sound stimuli. The transduction of sound waves into electrical signals depends upon mechanosensitive hair bundles that project from the cell's apical surface. Each stereoci...
