A genomic investigation of Meloidogyne javanica: genome assembly, comparative analysis, and virulence (2024)
Thesis
Winter, M. (2024). A genomic investigation of Meloidogyne javanica: genome assembly, comparative analysis, and virulence. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5088328

The Meloidogyne incognita group (MIG) of nematodes, including Meloidogyne javanica, contains some of the most destructive crop pathogens worldwide. Genetic resistance, such as through the Mi-1 gene, is used to limit M. javanica infection, but resista...

Genotype But Not Body Shape Predicts River Migration Success in Atlantic Salmon (2024)
Journal Article
Moccetti, P., Bolland, J. D., Adams, C. E., Rodger, J. R., Honkanen, H. M., Newton, M., Lothian, A. J., Nunn, A. D., & Joyce, D. A. (2024). Genotype But Not Body Shape Predicts River Migration Success in Atlantic Salmon. Ecology and Evolution, 14(12), Article e70682. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.70682

Migratory species typically undertake demanding long-distance journeys, across different habitat types during which they are exposed to multiple natural and anthropogenic stressors. Mortality during migration is typically high and may be human induce... Read More about Genotype But Not Body Shape Predicts River Migration Success in Atlantic Salmon.

A paper-based analytical device for the on-site multiplexed monitoring of soil nutrients extracted with a cafetière (2024)
Journal Article
Giménez-Gómez, P., Priem, N., Richardson, S., & Pamme, N. (2025). A paper-based analytical device for the on-site multiplexed monitoring of soil nutrients extracted with a cafetière. Sensors and actuators. B, Chemical, 424, Article 136881. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.snb.2024.136881

Sustainable agricultural production has the aim to maximise the yield and quality of harvests. For that, farmers need to monitor nutrient levels within soils to apply fertilizers accordingly and to prevent land degradation and soil exhaustion. Curren...

Investigating the role of non-helpers in group living thrips (2024)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. D. (2024). Investigating the role of non-helpers in group living thrips. The journal of animal ecology, 93(12), 1960-1971. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.14204

Behavioural variation among individuals is a hallmark of cooperative societies, which commonly contain breeders and non-breeders, helpers and non-helpers. In some cases, labour is divided with non-breeders “helping.” Conversely, in some societies, su... Read More about Investigating the role of non-helpers in group living thrips.
