Advanced diagnostics applied to fish liver tumours: Relating pathology to underlying molecular aetiology (2013)
Journal Article
Lerebours, A., Bignell, J. P., Stentiford, G. D., Feist, S. W., Lyons, B. P., & Rotchell, J. M. (2013). Advanced diagnostics applied to fish liver tumours: Relating pathology to underlying molecular aetiology. Marine pollution bulletin, 72(1), 94-98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2013.04.016

Liver tumours in flatfish have been diagnosed using histopathology for decades in order to monitor the impacts of marine pollution in coastal and estuarine environments. This traditional method has been coupled with molecular analyses of tumours in t...

Correlates of eye colour and pattern in mantellid frogs (2013)
Journal Article
Amat, F., Wollenberg, K. C., & Vences, M. (2013). Correlates of eye colour and pattern in mantellid frogs. Salamandra - German Journal of Herpetology, 49(1), 7-17

With more than 250 species, the Mantellidae is the most species-rich family of frogs in Madagascar. These frogs are highly diversified in morphology, ecology and natural history. Based on a molecular phylogeny of 248 mantellids, we here examine the d... Read More about Correlates of eye colour and pattern in mantellid frogs.

Costs of colour change in fish: food intake and behavioural decisions (2013)
Journal Article
Rodgers, G. M., Gladman, N. W., Corless, H. F., & Morrell, L. J. (2013). Costs of colour change in fish: food intake and behavioural decisions. The journal of experimental biology, 216(14), 2760-2767. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.080879

Many animals, particularly reptiles, amphibians, fish and cephalopods, have the ability to change their body colour, for functions including thermoregulation, signalling and predator avoidance. Many fish plastically darken their body colouration in r... Read More about Costs of colour change in fish: food intake and behavioural decisions.

Initiators, leaders, and recruitment mechanisms in the collective movements of damselfish (2013)
Journal Article
Ward, A. J. W., Herbert-Read, J. E., Jordan, L. A., James, R., Krause, J., Ma, Q., …Morrell, L. J. (2013). Initiators, leaders, and recruitment mechanisms in the collective movements of damselfish. The American naturalist, 181(6), 748-760. https://doi.org/10.1086/670242

Explaining how individual behavior and social interac- tions give rise to group-level outcomes and affect issues such as leadership is fundamental to the understanding of collective behavior. Here we examined individual and collective behavioral dyna... Read More about Initiators, leaders, and recruitment mechanisms in the collective movements of damselfish.

Multiple global radiations in tadpole shrimps challenge the concept of 'living fossils' (2013)
Journal Article
Mathers, T. C., Hammond, R. L., Jenner, R. A., Hänfling, B., & Gomez, A. (2013). Multiple global radiations in tadpole shrimps challenge the concept of 'living fossils'. PeerJ, 1, e62. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.62

‘Living fossils’, a phrase first coined by Darwin, are defined as species with limited recent diversification and high morphological stasis over long periods of evolutionary time. Morphological stasis, however, can potentially lead to diversification... Read More about Multiple global radiations in tadpole shrimps challenge the concept of 'living fossils'.

Synthesis and antibacterial effects of aqueous colloidal solutions of silver nanoparticles using aminocellulose as a combined reducing and capping reagent (2013)
Journal Article
Cheng, F., Betts, J. W., Kelly, S. M., Schaller, J., & Heinze, T. (2013). Synthesis and antibacterial effects of aqueous colloidal solutions of silver nanoparticles using aminocellulose as a combined reducing and capping reagent. Green chemistry : an international journal and green chemistry resource : GC, 15(4), 989-998. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3gc36831a

A simple, environmentally friendly and cost-effective synthetic method has been developed to prepare highly stable aqueous colloidal solutions of small (2-14 nm) silver nanoparticles using aminocellulose (AMC) as a combined reducing and capping reage...

The role of individuality in collective group movement (2013)
Journal Article
Ward, A., Herbert-Read, J., Krause, J., Krause, S., Schaerf, T., & Morrell, L. (2013). The role of individuality in collective group movement. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 280(1752), Article 20122564. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2012.2564

How different levels of biological organization interact to shape each other’s function is a central question in biology. One particularly important topic in this context is how individuals’ variation in behaviour shapes group-level characteristics....

High lability of sexual system over 250 million years of evolution in morphologically conservative tadpole shrimps (2013)
Journal Article
Mathers, T. C., Jenner, R. A., Zierold, T., Hammond, R. L., Hänfling, B., & Gomez, A. (2013). High lability of sexual system over 250 million years of evolution in morphologically conservative tadpole shrimps. BMC evolutionary biology, 13(1), 30. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2148-13-30

Background Sexual system is a key factor affecting the genetic diversity, population structure, genome structure and the evolutionary potential of species. The sexual system androdioecy – where males and hermaphrodites coexist in populations – is ext...
