Molecular evolutionary relationships between partulid land snails of the Pacific (2001)
Journal Article
Goodacre, S. L., & Wade, C. M. (2001). Molecular evolutionary relationships between partulid land snails of the Pacific. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 268(1462), 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2000.1322

Adaptive radiation of partulid land snails in the tropical Pacific has produced an extraordinary array of distinctive morphological, ecological and behavioural types. Here we use part of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene cluster to investigate the relat... Read More about Molecular evolutionary relationships between partulid land snails of the Pacific.

The prevalence and abundance of infections with haemoparasites were studied over a 3 year period in Clethrionomys glareolus (bank vole, n=420) sampled from forests in the NE of Poland. Total species richness was 5 (Prevalence=Haemobartonella sp. 63.1...

Interactions involving intestinal nematodes of rodents: experimental and field studies (2001)
Journal Article
Behnke, J., Bajer, A., Sinski, E., & Wakelin, D. (2001). Interactions involving intestinal nematodes of rodents: experimental and field studies. Parasitology, 122, Article S39-S49. https://doi.org/10.1017/S003118200001679

Multiple species infections with parasitic helminths, including nematodes, are common in wild rodent populations. In this paper we first define different types of associations and review experimental evidence for different categories of interactions....

Variation in the helminth community structure in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) from three comparable localities in the Mazury Lake District region of Poland (2001)
Journal Article
Behnke, J., Barnard, C., Bajer, A., Bray, D., Dinmore, J., Frake, K., Osmond, J., Race, T., & Sinski, E. (2001). Variation in the helminth community structure in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) from three comparable localities in the Mazury Lake District region of Poland. Parasitology, 123(4), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182001008605

We tested the null hypothesis that populations of hosts trapped in isolated neighbouring locations showing comparable habitat quality, should support similar helminth parasite communities. The study was undertaken in a 2-week period in late summer in...

Helminths of the sand lizard, Lacerta agilis (Reptilia, Lacertidae), in the Palaearctic: faunal diversity and spatial patterns of variation in the composition and structure of component communities (2001)
Journal Article
Sharpilo, V., Biserkov, V., Kostadinova, A., Behnke, J., & Kuzmin, Y. (2001). Helminths of the sand lizard, Lacerta agilis (Reptilia, Lacertidae), in the Palaearctic: faunal diversity and spatial patterns of variation in the composition and structure of component communities. Parasitology, 123(4), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182001008587

We studied variation in the structure of component communities of helminths in sand lizards, Lacerta agilis, from 30 localities in the Ukraine and Bulgaria. Thirty-five separate samples of lizards, with a total of 661 completely censused infracommuni...

Determining How Coronaviruses Overcome the Interferon and Innate Immune Response (2000)
Book Chapter
Coleman, C. M. (2000). Determining How Coronaviruses Overcome the Interferon and Innate Immune Response. In . H. J. Maier, & E. Bickerton (Eds.), Coronaviruses (223-229). Springer US. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-0900-2_16

All viruses have to overcome the innate immune response in order to establish infection. Methods have been developed to assay if, and how, viruses overcome these responses, and many can be directly applied to coronaviruses. Here, in vitro methods to...

Molecular evidence for genetic mixing of Arctic and Antarctic subpolar populations of planktonic foraminifers (2000)
Journal Article
Darling, K. F., Wade, C. M., Stewart, I. A., Kroon, D., Dingle, R., & Leigh Brown, A. J. (2000). Molecular evidence for genetic mixing of Arctic and Antarctic subpolar populations of planktonic foraminifers. Nature, 405(6782), 43-47. https://doi.org/10.1038/35011002

Bipolarity, the presence of a species in the high latitudes separated by a gap in distribution across the tropics, is a well-known pattern of global species distribution. But the question of whether bipolar species have evolved independently at the p...

A relatively low and stable seroprevalence of HIV-1 was previously reported among pregnant women attending for antenatal care between 1988 and 1993 in Kimpese, a rural town in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, formerly Zaire). To characterize th... Read More about Genetic heterogeneity of HIV type 1 subtypes in Kimpese, rural democratic republic of congo.

The diversity of distribution of modern planktic foraminiferal small subunit ribosomal RNA genotypes and their potential as tracers of present and past ocean circulations (1999)
Journal Article

Paleoceanography, 14(1), 3-12. https://doi.org/10.1029/1998PA900002

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene of planktic spinose foraminifers shows that morphospecies may represent clusters of different and often highly divergent genotypes. In some cases the level of divergence may just...
