Roads and their traffic are known to affect bird species at both individual and population levels. Collisions with vehicles can cause direct mortality, and noise, light and chemical pollution can have sub-lethal impacts. ... -
Investigating processing body condensation, material properties and function during early Drosophila development
(2020-10-19)How cells control spatiotemporal protein synthesis is a biological phenomenon with broad implications in physiology, pathology, and therapeutics. Cellular material can be organised into membrane-bound or membrane-less ... -
Working with large-scale population trend data in ecology and conservation: methods and applications
(2020-09-30)Wildlife conservation, at its core, hinges on sustaining and maintaining animal popu- lations. Whether reducing hunting, protecting habitat or creating breeding pro- grammes, so many conservation decisions have population ... -
Biological adhesion in wet environments: adaptations and mechanisms
