Mutations in genes involved in oestrous cycle associated expression of oestrus (2013)
Journal Article
Homer, E., Derecka, K., Webb, R., & Garnsworthy, P. (2013). Mutations in genes involved in oestrous cycle associated expression of oestrus. Animal Reproduction Science, 142(3-4), 106-112. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2013.09.018

Detection of oestrus is a key determinant of profitability of dairy herds, but oestrus is increasingly difficult to observe in the modern dairy cow, with shorter duration and less intense oestrus. Concurrent with the unfavourable correlation between... Read More about Mutations in genes involved in oestrous cycle associated expression of oestrus.

Transient exposure to low levels of insecticide affects metabolic networks of honeybee larvae (2013)
Journal Article
Derecka, K., Blythe, M. J., Malla, S., Genereux, D. P., Guffanti, A., Pavan, P., …Stöger, R. (2013). Transient exposure to low levels of insecticide affects metabolic networks of honeybee larvae. PLoS ONE, 8(7), Article e68191. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0068191

The survival of a species depends on its capacity to adjust to changing environmental conditions, and new stressors. Such new, anthropogenic stressors include the neonicotinoid class of crop-protecting agents, which have been implicated in the popula...
