• Shyer and larger bird species show more reduced fear of humans when living in urban environments 

  delBarco-Trillo, Javier (The Royal Society, 2018-04)

  As the natural habitats of many species are degraded or disappear, there is scope for these species to be established in urban habitats. To ease the establishment and maintenance of urban populations of more species we ...
• Localisation and substrate specificities of transglycanases in charophyte algae relate to development and morphology 

  Herburger, Klaus; Ryan, Louise M.; Popper, Zoe A.; Holzinger, Andreas (Company of Biologists, 2018)

  Cell wall-modifying enzymes have been previously investigated in charophyte green algae (CGA) in cultures of uniform age, giving limited insight into their roles. Therefore, we investigated the in situ localisation and ...
• Prelithification and synlithification tectonic foliation development in a clastic sedimentary sequence 

  Meere, Patrick A.; Mulchrone, Kieran F.; McCarthy, David J.; Timmerman, Martin J.; Dewey, John F. (Geological Society of America, 2016-04)

  The current view regarding the timing of regionally developed penetrative tectonic fabrics in sedimentary rocks is that their development postdates lithification of those rocks. In this case, fabric development is achieved ...
• Fossil scales illuminate the early evolution of lepidopterans and structural colors 

  Zhang, Qingqing; Mey, Wolfram; Ansorge, Jörg; Starkey, Timothy A.; McDonald, Luke T.; McNamara, Maria E.; Jarzembowski, Edmund A.; Wichard, Wilfried; Kelly, Richard; Ren, Xiaoyin; Chen, Jun; Zhang, Haichun; Wang, Bo (American Association for the Advancement of Science, )

  Lepidopteran scales exhibit remarkably complex ultrastructures, many of which produce structural colors that are the basis for diverse communication strategies. Little is known, however, about the early evolution of ...
• The gut microbiota of marine fish 

  Egerton, Sian; Culloty, Sarah; Whooley, Jason; Stanton, Catherine; Ross, R. Paul (Frontiers Media, )

  The body of work relating to the gut microbiota of fish is dwarfed by that on humans and mammals. However, it is a field that has had historical interest and has grown significantly along with the expansion of the aquaculture ...
