Serum proteomic profiling reveals that pretreatment complement protein levels are predictive of esophageal cancer patient response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation (2011)
Journal Article
Maher, S. G., McDowell, D. T., Collins, B. C., Muldoon, C., Gallagher, W. M., & Reynolds, J. V. (2011). Serum proteomic profiling reveals that pretreatment complement protein levels are predictive of esophageal cancer patient response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Annals of Surgery, 254(5), 809-816. https://doi.org/10.1097/SLA.0b013e31823699f2

OBJECTIVE: To identify serum-based biomarkers predicting response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (neo-CRT) in esophageal cancer. PURPOSE: Increasingly, the standard of care for esophageal cancer involves neo-CRT followed by surgery. The identificat...

Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support (2011)
Journal Article
Noble, R., & Bredeweg, B. (2011). Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support. Lecture notes in computer science, 6738 LNAI, 519-521. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-21869-9_88

This paper shows that naïve students will require coaching to overcome the difficulties they face in identifying the important concepts to be modeled, and understanding the causal meta-vocabulary needed for conceptual models. The results of this stud... Read More about Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support.

Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals (2011)
Journal Article
Barton, R. A., & Capellini, I. (2011). Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 108(15), 6169-6174. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1019140108

Brain size variation in mammals correlates with life histories: larger-brained species have longer gestations, mature later, and have increased lifespans. These patterns have been explained in terms of developmental costs (larger brains take longer t... Read More about Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals.

Interspecific activity of the sex pheromone of the European shore crab (Carcinus maenas) (2008)
Journal Article
Bublitz, R., Sainte-Marie, B., Newcomb-Hodgetts, C., Fletcher, N., Smith, M., & Hardege, J. (2008). Interspecific activity of the sex pheromone of the European shore crab (Carcinus maenas). Behaviour, 145(10), 1465-1478. https://doi.org/10.1163/156853908785765872

The recent identification of uridine diphosphate (UDP) as the female sex-pheromone in the European shore crab Carcinus maenas demonstrated not only the link between moult and pheromone production, but also how it may have evolved from a 'simple' meta...

Development of behavioural and physiological assays to assess discrimination of male and female odours in crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus (2008)
Journal Article
Berry, F. C., & Breithaupt, T. (2008). Development of behavioural and physiological assays to assess discrimination of male and female odours in crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus. Behaviour, 145(10), 1427-1446. https://doi.org/10.1163/156853908785765845

Many aquatic organisms use chemical signals to coordinate courtship. However, relatively few water-borne pheromones have been identified. A key obstacle hindering progress in the purification of crustacean pheromones has been the development of relia...

Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus (2008)
Journal Article
Breithaupt, T., Johnson, M., & Katoh, E. (2008). Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus. Behaviour, 145(10), 1447-1464. https://doi.org/10.1163/156853908785765917

Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus, live on the bottom of the continental shelf where they construct and defend burrows. Little is known about their agonistic behaviour and potential mechanisms of dominance. This paper investigates fighting behavio...

Fish assemblages in different shallow water habitats of the Venice Lagoon (2006)
Journal Article

The small-sized fish assemblages of the Venice Lagoon were investigated and compared among five shallow subtidal habitats (seagrass beds, sparsely vegetated habitats, unvegetated sand bottoms, mudflats and saltmarsh creeks) in the Northern lagoon bas...
