Journal Article
Costa, F. O., Henzler, C. M., Lunt, D. H., Whiteley, N. M., & Rock, J. (2009). Probing marine Gammarus (Amphipoda) taxonomy with DNA barcodes. Systematics and Biodiversity, 7(4), 365-379. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1477200009990120

The genus Gammarus (Amphipoda) is one of the most speciose genera of Crustacea, yet much uncertainty remains concerning taxonomy and systematic relationships, particularly for brackish and marine forms. We used DNA barcode sequences from the mitochon... Read More about Probing marine Gammarus (Amphipoda) taxonomy with DNA barcodes.

The responses of Dicentrarchus labrax and Liza aurata to aquatic pollution were assessed in a contaminated coastal lagoon, using both traditional and novel biomarkers combined. DNA damage, assessed by comet assay, was higher in both fish species from...

Experience matters: Females use smell to select experienced males for paternal care (2009)
Journal Article
Fletcher, N., Storey, E. J., Johnson, M., Reish, D. J., & Hardege, J. D. (2009). Experience matters: Females use smell to select experienced males for paternal care. PLoS ONE, 4(11), e7672. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0007672

Mate choice and mating preferences often rely on the information content of signals exchanged between potential partners. In species where a female's reproduction is the terminal event in life it is to be expected that females choose high quality mal...

Selection on life-history traits and genetic population divergence in rotifers (2009)
Journal Article

A combination of founder effects and local adaptation - the Monopolization hypothesis - has been proposed to reconcile the strong population differentiation of zooplankton dwelling in ponds and lakes and their high dispersal abilities. The role genet... Read More about Selection on life-history traits and genetic population divergence in rotifers.
