Previously, we highlighted induction of an integrated stress response (ISR) gene program in skeletal muscle of pigs treated with a beta-adrenergic agonist. Hence we tested the hypothesis that the ER-stress inhibitor, sodium 4-phenylbutyrate (PBA), wo... Read More about Effect of sodium 4-phenylbutyrate on clenbuterol-mediated muscle growth.

Developing effective strategies to use models in conjunction with experimental data is essential to understand the dynamics of biological regulatory networks. In this study, we demonstrate how combining parameter estimation with asymptotic analysis c...

Root-derived CO2 flux from a tropical peatland (2018)
Journal Article
Girkin, N., Turner, B., Ostle, N., & Sjögersten, S. (2018). Root-derived CO2 flux from a tropical peatland. Wetlands Ecology and Management, 26(5), 985-991. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11273-018-9617-8

Tropical peatlands release significant quantities of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, yet the relative contributions of heterotrophic and autotrophic respiration to net CO2 fluxes remains sparsely quantified. We used a combination of in situ trenc... Read More about Root-derived CO2 flux from a tropical peatland.

Exploring drivers of litter decomposition in a greening Arctic: results from a transplant experiment across a tree-line (2018)
Journal Article
Parker, T. C., Sanderman, J., Holden, R. D., Blume-Werry, G., Sjögersten, S., Large, D., …Wookey, P. A. (2018). Exploring drivers of litter decomposition in a greening Arctic: results from a transplant experiment across a tree-line. Ecology, 99(10), 2284-2294. https://doi.org/10.1002/ecy.2442

Decomposition of plant litter is a key control over carbon (C) storage in the soil. The biochemistry of the litter being produced, the environment in which the decomposition is taking place, and the community composition and metabolism of the decompo...

Investigating the environmental interpretation of oxygen and carbon isotope data from whole and fragmented bivalve shells (2018)
Journal Article

Sclerochronological data from whole bivalve shells have been used extensively to derive palaeoenvironmental information. However, little is known about the relevance of shell fragments more commonly preserved in the sediment record. Here, we investig...

The North Pacific is a zone of cyclogenesis that modulates synoptic-scale atmospheric circulation, yet there is a paucity of instrumental and paleoclimate data to fully constrain its long-term state and variability. We present the first Holocene oxyg... Read More about Holocene atmospheric circulation in the central North Pacific: a new terrestrial diatom and δ18O dataset from the Aleutian Islands.
