Impacts of zero tillage on soil enzyme activities, microbial characteristics and organic matter functional chemistry in temperate soils (2015)
Journal Article
Mangalassery, S., Mooney, S. J., Sparkes, D., Fraser, W., & Sjögersten, S. (2015). Impacts of zero tillage on soil enzyme activities, microbial characteristics and organic matter functional chemistry in temperate soils. European Journal of Soil Biology, 68, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejsobi.2015.03.001

Zero tillage management of agricultural soils has potential for enhancing soil carbon (C) storage and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the mechanisms which control carbon (C) sequestration in soil in response to zero tillage are not well u...

Recent advances in the analysis of macromolecular interactions using the matrix-free method of sedimentation in the analytical ultracentrifuge (2015)
Journal Article
Harding, S., Gillis, R., Almutairi, F., Erten, T., Kök, M., & Adams, G. (2015). Recent advances in the analysis of macromolecular interactions using the matrix-free method of sedimentation in the analytical ultracentrifuge. Biology, 4(1), https://doi.org/10.3390/biology4010237

Sedimentation in the analytical ultracentrifuge is a matrix free solution technique with no immobilisation, columns, or membranes required and can be used to study self-association and complex or “hetero”-interactions, stoichiometry, reversibility an...

Leaf energy balance modelling as a tool to infer habitat preference in the early angiosperms (2015)
Journal Article
Lee, A. P., Upchurch, G., Murchie, E. H., & Lomax, B. H. (2015). Leaf energy balance modelling as a tool to infer habitat preference in the early angiosperms. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 282(1803), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2014.3052

Despite more than a century of research, some key aspects of habitat preference and ecology of the earliest angiosperms remain poorly constrained. Proposed growth ecology has varied from opportunistic weedy species growing in full sun to slow-growing...

A review of modern approaches to the hydrodynamic characterisation of polydisperse macromolecular systems in biotechnology (2015)
Journal Article
Gillis, R. B., Rowe, A. J., Adams, G. G., & Harding, S. E. (2015). A review of modern approaches to the hydrodynamic characterisation of polydisperse macromolecular systems in biotechnology. Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering Reviews, 30(2), https://doi.org/10.1080/02648725.2014.994870

This short review considers the range of modern techniques for the hydrodynamic characterisation of macromolecules – particularly large glycosylated systems used in the food, biopharma and healthcare industries. The range or polydispersity of molecul... Read More about A review of modern approaches to the hydrodynamic characterisation of polydisperse macromolecular systems in biotechnology.

Entometabolomics: applications of modern analytical techniques to insect studies (2015)
Journal Article

Metabolomic analyses can reveal associations between an organism's metabolome and further aspects of its phenotypic state, an attractive prospect for many life-sciences researchers. The metabolomic approach has been employed in some, but not many, in... Read More about Entometabolomics: applications of modern analytical techniques to insect studies.

Body composition and behaviour in adult rats are influenced by maternal diet, maternal age and high-fat feeding (2015)
Journal Article
Ware, S., Voigt, J.-P., & Langley-Evans, S. C. (2015). Body composition and behaviour in adult rats are influenced by maternal diet, maternal age and high-fat feeding. Journal of Nutritional Science, 4(e3), https://doi.org/10.1017/jns.2014.64

Fetal exposure to maternal undernutrition has lifelong consequences for physiological and metabolic function. Maternal low-protein diet is associated with an age-related phenotype in rats, characterised by a period of resistance to development of obe...

Multi-trait mimicry of ants by a parasitoid wasp (2015)
Journal Article
Malcicka, M., Bezemer, T. M., Visser, B., Bloemberg, M., Snart, C. J., Hardy, I. C., & Harvey, J. A. (in press). Multi-trait mimicry of ants by a parasitoid wasp. Scientific Reports, 5, Article 8043. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep08043

Many animals avoid attack from predators through toxicity or the emission of repellent chemicals. Defensive mimicry has evolved in many species to deceive shared predators, for instance through colouration and other morphological adaptations, but mim...
