(2011). Multilocus genotyping of human Giardia isolates suggests limited zoonotic transmission and association between assemblage B and flatulence in children. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, e1262 -?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0001262

BACKGROUND: Giardia intestinalis is one of the most common diarrhea-related parasites in humans, where infection ranges from asymptomatic to acute or chronic disease. G. intestinalis consists of eight genetically distinct genotypes or assemblages, de...

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...

Affective displacements: Understanding emotions and sexualities in refugee law (2011)
Journal Article
(2011). Affective displacements: Understanding emotions and sexualities in refugee law. https://doi.org/10.1177/1037969X1103600308

Validating asylum claims on the basis of a person’s sexual orientation relies on discerning what constitutes sexuality and a ‘well founded fear’ of persecution. This administrative process works by suturing narratives of ‘functioning’ sexuality to sp... Read More about Affective displacements: Understanding emotions and sexualities in refugee law.

Evidence for consistency of the glycation gap in diabetes (2011)
Journal Article
(2011). Evidence for consistency of the glycation gap in diabetes. Diabetes Care, 1712 -1716. https://doi.org/10.2337/dc10-1767

OBJECTIVE: Discordance between HbA(1c) and fructosamine estimations in the assessment of glycemia is often encountered. A number of mechanisms might explain such discordance, but whether it is consistent is uncertain. This study aims to coanalyze pai...

Critical mutation rate has an exponential dependence on population size (2011)
Book Chapter
Channon. (2011). Critical mutation rate has an exponential dependence on population size. In ECAL 2011 (117 -124)

Populations of individuals exist in a wide range of sizes, from billions of microorganisms to fewer than ten individuals in some critically endangered species. In any evolutionary system, there is significant evolutionary pressure to evolve sequences... Read More about Critical mutation rate has an exponential dependence on population size.

Homogeneous studies of transiting planets (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Southworth, J. (2011, July). Homogeneous studies of transiting planets. Presented at IAUS 282: From Interacting Binaries to Exoplanets: Essential Modeling Tools, Tatranska Lomnica

The derived physical properties of the known transiting extrasolar planetary systems come from a variety of sources, and are calculated using a range of different methods so are not always directly comparable. I present a catalogue of the physical pr... Read More about Homogeneous studies of transiting planets.

When Sara Jones spoke in front of her separatist congregation in 1632, she was opening herself up to criticism for going against scriptural precedents: it was not divinely sanctioned that women should speak in church. Perhaps deriving confidence from... Read More about "As Shee Preachers Hold Forth Christ": Sara Jones's Challenge to Episcopacy, The Relation of a Gentlewoman (1642).
