Aging of nickel added to soils as predicted by soil pH and time (2013)
Journal Article
Ma, Y., Lombi, E., McLaughlin, M. J., Oliver, I. W., Nolan, A. L., Oorts, K., & Smolders, E. (2013). Aging of nickel added to soils as predicted by soil pH and time. Chemosphere, 92(8), 962-968. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2013.03.013

Although aging processes are important in risk assessment for metals in soils, the aging of Ni added to soils has not been studied in detail. In this study, after addition of water soluble Ni to soils, the changes over time in isotopic exchangeabilit... Read More about Aging of nickel added to soils as predicted by soil pH and time.

Joint perception: Gaze and social context (2012)
Journal Article
Richardson, D. C., Street, C. N., Tan, J. Y., Kirkham, N. Z., Hoover, M. A., & Ghane Cavanaugh, A. (2012). Joint perception: Gaze and social context. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 6, Article 194. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2012.00194

We found that the way people looked at images was influenced by their belief that others were looking too. If participants believed that an unseen other person was also looking at what they could see, it shifted the balance of their gaze between nega...

Degradation of metalaxyl-M in contrasting soils is influenced more by differences in physicochemical characteristics than in microbial community composition after re-inoculation of sterilised soils (2010)
Journal Article
Baker, K. L., Marshall, S., Nicol, G. W., Campbell, C. D., Nicollier, G., Ricketts, D., Killham, K., & Prosser, J. I. (2010). Degradation of metalaxyl-M in contrasting soils is influenced more by differences in physicochemical characteristics than in microbial community composition after re-inoculation of sterilised soils. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 42(7), 1123-1131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2010.03.016

Rates of degradation of pesticides by soil microorganisms are believed to depend on both microbial community composition and underlying soil physicochemical characteristics. The aim of this study was to determine which of these factors was more impor...

Environmental and spatial characterisation of bacterial community composition in soil to inform sampling strategies (2009)
Journal Article
Baker, K. L., Langenheder, S., Nicol, G. W., Ricketts, D., Killham, K., Campbell, C. D., & Prosser, J. I. (2009). Environmental and spatial characterisation of bacterial community composition in soil to inform sampling strategies. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 41(11), 2292-2298. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2009.08.010

Soil physicochemical properties and microbial communities are highly heterogeneous and vary widely over spatial scales, necessitating careful consideration of sampling strategies to provide representative and reproducible soil samples across field si...

Gas giants transiting bright nearby stars are stepping stones for our understanding of planetary system formation and evolution mechanisms. This paper presents a particularly interesting new specimen of this kind of exoplanet discovered by the WASP-S... Read More about WASP-193b: An extremely low-density super-Neptune.

Aedes aegyptigut transcriptomes respond differently to microbiome transplants from field-caught or laboratory-reared mosquitoes
Journal Article
Hegde, S., Brettell, L. E., Quek, S., Etebari, K., Saldaña, M. A., Asgari, S., Coon, K. L., Heinz, E., & Hughes, G. L. Aedes aegyptigut transcriptomes respond differently to microbiome transplants from field-caught or laboratory-reared mosquitoes. arXiv, https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.03.16.532926

The mosquito microbiome is critical for host development and plays a major role in many aspects of mosquito biology. While the microbiome is commonly dominated by a small number of genera, there is considerable variation in composition among mosquito...

Identifying risk factors for Lassa fever infection in Sierra Leone, 2019-2021
Journal Article
Juma Sama, D., Haider, N., Guitian, J., Yusuf Osman, A., Ntoumi, F., Zumla, A., Kock, R., & Ansumana, R. Identifying risk factors for Lassa fever infection in Sierra Leone, 2019-2021. MedRxiv, https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.04.11.24305423

Background Lassa fever (LF) virus (LASV) is endemic in Sierra Leone and poses a significant public health threat to the region; however, no risk factors for LASV infection have been reported in Sierra Leone. The objective of this study was to identif... Read More about Identifying risk factors for Lassa fever infection in Sierra Leone, 2019-2021.
