Journal Article
Kishkinev, D. A., & Chernetsov, N. S. (2015). Magnetoreception systems in birds: A review of current research. Успехи современной биологии / Biology Bulletin Reviews, 5(1), 46-62. https://doi.org/10.1134/s2079086415010041

At least two independent systems of magnetoreception are currently believed to exist in birds, based on different biophysical principles, located in different parts of their bodies, and with different neuroanatomical mechanisms. One magnetoreceptory... Read More about Magnetoreception systems in birds: A review of current research.

Draft Genomes, Phylogenetic Reconstruction, and Comparative Genomics of Two Novel Cohabiting Bacterial Symbionts Isolated from Frankliniella occidentalis. (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Draft Genomes, Phylogenetic Reconstruction, and Comparative Genomics of Two Novel Cohabiting Bacterial Symbionts Isolated from Frankliniella occidentalis. Genome Biology and Evolution, 2188 - 2202. https://doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evv136

Obligate bacterial symbionts are widespread in many invertebrates, where they are often confined to specialized host cells and are transmitted directly from mother to progeny. Increasing numbers of these bacteria are being characterized but questions...

Targeting male mosquito mating behaviour for malaria control (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Targeting male mosquito mating behaviour for malaria control. Parasites and Vectors, 347. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-015-0961-8

Malaria vector control relies heavily on the use of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) and Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS). These, together with the combined drug administration efforts to control malaria, have reduced the death toll to less than...
