    • Identification of novel cis-regulatory elements of Eya1 in Xenopus laevis using BAC recombineering 

      Maharana, Santosh Kumar; Pollet, Nicolas; Schlosser, Gerhard (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-11-03)
      The multifunctional Eya1 protein plays important roles during the development of cranial sensory organs and ganglia, kidneys, hypaxial muscles and several other organs in vertebrates. Eya1 is encoded by a complex locus ...

    • A gene regulatory network underlying the formation of pre-placodal ectoderm in Xenopus laevis 

      Kumar Maharana, Santosh; Schlosser, Gerhard (BioMed Central, 2018-06-16)
      Background: The neural plate border ectoderm gives rise to key developmental structures during embryogenesis, including the neural crest and the preplacodal ectoderm. Many sensory organs and ganglia of vertebrates develop ...

    • Snake venom potency and yield are associated with prey‐evolution, predator metabolism and habitat structure 

      Healy, Kevin; Carbone, Chris; Jackson, Andrew L. (Wiley, 2019-01-07)
      Snake venom is well known for its ability to incapacitate and kill prey. Yet, potency and the amount of venom available varies greatly across species, ranging from the seemingly harmless to those capable of killing vast ...

    • Animal life history is shaped by the pace of life and the distribution of age-specific mortality and reproduction 

      Healy, Kevin; Ezard, Thomas H. G.; Jones, Owen R.; Salguero-Gómez, Roberto; Buckley, Yvonne M. (Nature Research (part of Springer Nature), 2019-07-08)
      Animals exhibit an extraordinary diversity of life history strategies. These realized combinations of survival, development and reproduction are predicted to be constrained by physiological limitations and by trade-offs ...

    • Microplastics in corals: An emergent threat 

      de Oliveira Soares, Marcelo; Matos, Eliana; Lucas, Caroline; Rizzo, Lucia; Allcock, A. Louise; Rossi, Sergio (Elsevier, 2020-11-01)
      This article seeks to present a summary of knowledge and thus improve awareness of microplastic impacts on corals. Recent research suggests that microplastics have a variety of species-specific impacts. Among them, a reduced ...

    • Development of an ethogram for hutch-housed dairy calves and determination of factors influencing their behaviour 

      Ugwu, Nnenna; Love, Emma; Murrell, Jo; Whay, Helen; Knowles, Toby; Hockenhull, Jo (Elsevier, 2020-11-18)
      The objectives of this study were to investigate the behaviour of hutch-housed dairy calves, develop an ethogram of general behaviour, and determine whether housing calves in different hutches, day, gender and time of day ...

    • A decade to study deep-sea life. 

      Howell, Kerry L.; Hilário, Ana; Allcock, A. Louise; Bailey, David; Baker, Maria; Clark, Malcolm R.; Colaço, Ana; Copley, Jon; Cordes, Erik E.; Danovaro, Roberto; Dissanayake, Awantha; Escobar, Elva; Esquete, Patricia; Gallagher, Austin J.; Gates, Andrew R.; Gaudron, Sylvie M.; German, Christopher R.; Gjerde, Kristina M.; Higgs, Nicholas D.; Le Bris, Nadine; Levin, Lisa A.; Manea, Elisabetta; McClain, Craig; Menot, Lenaick; Mestre, Nelia C.; Metaxas, Anna; Milligan, Rosanna; Muthumbi, Agnes W.
