Sustenance and performance: nutritional reserves, longevity and contest outcomes of fed and starved adult parasitoid wasps (2018)
Journal Article
Snart, C. J., Kapranas, A., Williams, H., Barrett, D. A., & Hardy, I. C. (2018). Sustenance and performance: nutritional reserves, longevity and contest outcomes of fed and starved adult parasitoid wasps. Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2018.00012

Dyadic contests for possession of resources occur across a wide range of animal taxa, with contest outcome often being heavily influenced by the energetic reserves of the competitors. The majority of studied parasitoid wasps lack de novo lipogenesis,...

Stable DHLA–PEG capped PbS quantum dots: from synthesis to near-infrared biomedical imaging (2018)
Journal Article
Zamberlan, F., Turyanska, L., Patanè, A., Liu, Z., Williams, H., Fay, M., …Grabowska, A. (in press). Stable DHLA–PEG capped PbS quantum dots: from synthesis to near-infrared biomedical imaging. Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 6, https://doi.org/10.1039/c7tb02912h

The short shelf-life of water-soluble quantum dots (QDs) due to colloidal instability represents a major drawback to their exploitation. This work examines the colloidal stability of PbS nanoparticles capped with dihydrolipoic acid–polyethylene glyco...
