Expanding the understanding of local community assembly in adaptive radiations (2013)
Journal Article
Wollenberg, K. C., Veith, M., & Lötters, S. (2014). Expanding the understanding of local community assembly in adaptive radiations. Ecology and Evolution, 4(2), 174-185. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.908

Communities are thought to be assembled by two types of filters: by the environment relating to the fundamental niche and by biotic interactions relating to the realized niche. Both filters include parameters related to functional traits and their va... Read More about Expanding the understanding of local community assembly in adaptive radiations.

Origin and genetic diversity of diploid parthenogenetic Artemia in Eurasia (2013)
Journal Article
Maccari, M., Amat, F., & Gómez, A. (2013). Origin and genetic diversity of diploid parthenogenetic Artemia in Eurasia. PLoS ONE, 8(12), e83348. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0083348

There is wide interest in understanding how genetic diversity is generated and maintained in parthenogenetic lineages, as it will help clarify the debate of the evolution and maintenance of sexual reproduction. There are three mechanisms that can be... Read More about Origin and genetic diversity of diploid parthenogenetic Artemia in Eurasia.

Digital dissection - using contrast-enhanced computed tomography scanning to elucidate hard- and soft-tissue anatomy in the Common Buzzard Buteo buteo (2013)
Journal Article
Lautenschlager, S., Bright, J. A., & Rayfield, E. J. (2014). Digital dissection - using contrast-enhanced computed tomography scanning to elucidate hard- and soft-tissue anatomy in the Common Buzzard Buteo buteo. Journal of anatomy, 224(4), 412-431. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12153

Gross dissection has a long history as a tool for the study of human or animal soft‐ and hard‐tissue anatomy. However, apart from being a time‐consuming and invasive method, dissection is often unsuitable for very small specimens and often cannot cap...

The emergence of mecC methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (2013)
Journal Article
Paterson, G. K., Harrison, E. M., & Holmes, M. A. (2014). The emergence of mecC methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Trends in microbiology, 22(1), 42-47. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tim.2013.11.003

The report of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) encoding a divergent mecA gene in 2011 was highly significant. This homologue, designated mecC, poses diagnostic problems with the potential to be misdiagnosed as methicillin-sensitive...

A novel hybrid SCCmec-mecC region in Staphylococcus sciuri (2013)
Journal Article
Harrison, E. M., Paterson, G. K., Holden, M. T. G., Ba, X., Rolo, J., Morgan, F. J. E., Pichon, B., Kearns, A., Zadoks, R. N., Peacock, S. J., Parkhill, J., & Holmes, M. A. (2014). A novel hybrid SCCmec-mecC region in Staphylococcus sciuri. The journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy, 69(4), 911-918. https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/dkt452

Objectives Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus spp. results from the expression of an alternative penicillin-binding protein 2a (encoded by mecA) with a low affinity for β-lactam antibiotics. Recently, a novel variant of mecA known as mecC (form... Read More about A novel hybrid SCCmec-mecC region in Staphylococcus sciuri.

Prevalence and characterization of human mecC methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates in England. The journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy, 69(4), 907-910. https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/dkt462

Objectives There are limited data available on the epidemiology and prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the human population that encode the recently described mecA homologue, mecC. To address this knowledge gap we und... Read More about Prevalence and characterization of human mecC methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates in England.

Altering an extended phenotype reduces intraspecific male aggression and can maintain diversity in cichlid fish (2013)
Journal Article
Magalhaes, I. S., Croft, G. E., & Joyce, D. A. (2013). Altering an extended phenotype reduces intraspecific male aggression and can maintain diversity in cichlid fish. PeerJ, 1, Article e209. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.209

Reduced male aggression towards different phenotypes generating negative frequency-dependent intrasexual selection has been suggested as a mechanism to facilitate the invasion and maintenance of novel phenotypes in a population. To date, the best emp... Read More about Altering an extended phenotype reduces intraspecific male aggression and can maintain diversity in cichlid fish.

Colonization and dispersal patterns of the invasive American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) in the Mediterranean region (2013)
Journal Article
Muñoz, J., Gómez, A., Figuerola, J., Amat, F., Rico, C., & Green, A. J. (2014).
