There is increasing evidence that energy metabolism is disturbed in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients and animal models. Treatment with triheptanoin, the triglyceride of heptanoate, is a promising approach to provide alternative fuel to im...
Culture independent techniques, such as shotgun metagenomics and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing have dramatically changed the way we can examine microbial communities. Recently, changes in microbial community structure and dynamics have been associated...
We have investigated how birds avoid mid-air collisions during head-on encounters. Trajectories of birds flying towards each other in a tunnel were recorded using high speed video cameras. Analysis and modelling of the data suggest two simple strateg...
Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are responsible for diverse infections including meningitis, sepsis and urinary tract infections. The alarming rise in anti-microbial resistance amongst ExPEC complicates treatment and has highligh...
Differences in the litter and soil of northern temperate and tropical and subtropical forest soil and soil faunas are noted. Analyses of the distribution and abundance of Cryptostigmata and Mesostigmata mites in the litter and soil of two Australian ...

In the present study, we investigated the responses of ri...
Simple models were developed empirically to account for possible effects of patchy annual predation upon populations of benthic species. Long‐term population cycles were generated and, provided there was limited interaction among three prey species, ...
Although the function of polarization vision, the ability to discern the polarization characteristics of light, is well established in many terrestrial and benthic species, its purpose in pelagic species (squid and certain fish and crustaceans) is po...
