TP53 copy number expansion is associated with the evolution of increased body size and an enhanced DNA damage response in elephants (2016)
Journal Article

A major constraint on the evolution of large body sizes in animals is an increased risk of developing cancer. There is no correlation, however, between body size and cancer risk. This lack of correlation is often referred to as 'Peto's Paradox'. Here...

1. Wildlife disease surveillance is the first line of defence against infectious disease. Fluctuations in host populations and disease prevalence are a known feature of wildlife disease systems. However, the impact of such heterogeneities on the per... Read More about The ecology of wildlife disease surveillance: demographic and prevalence fluctuations undermine surveillance.
