Ballooning dispersal in arthropod taxa with convergent behaviours: dynamic properties of ballooning silk in turbulent flows (2006)
Journal Article
Reynolds, A., Bohan, D., & Bell, J. (2006). Ballooning dispersal in arthropod taxa with convergent behaviours: dynamic properties of ballooning silk in turbulent flows. Biology Letters, 2(3), 371–373. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2006.0486

We present a new model of ballooning behaviour in arthropods in which draglines are regarded as being extendible and completely flexible. Our numerical simulations reveal that silk draglines within turbulent flows can become twisted and stretched int...

West European right-wing extremist parties have received a great deal of attention over the past two decades due to their electoral success. What has received less coverage, however, is the fact that these parties have not enjoyed a consistent level...

Journal Article
(2006). Measuring troublesomeness of chronic pain by location. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 34 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-7-34

Current measures of pain assess the relative contribution of pain in different body regions to the overall impact of pain. We developed a series of questions to measure the relative 'troublesomeness' of pain in different body regions (the "troublesom...
