Analysis of viral signatures from Marine Microorganisms by Single-cell Amplified Genomes and Metagenomic Assembled Genomes
(University of Exeter Biological Sciences, 11 January 2021)70% of the world’s surface is covered by oceans; its impact on the global carbon cycle, climate change, and acid-base biochemistry remain crucial to our understanding of the natural world. The oceans act as important buffers ... -
The influence of neurostimulation on stimulus discrimination: tDCS at Fp3 can modulate old / new recognition and target detection for faces and chequerboards.
(University of Exeter Psychology, 30 November 2020)This paper reports the results of three experiments investigating the effect of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), a form of neurostimulation, on stimulus discrimination in an ‘old/new recognition’ and a target ... -
Comparing social dynamics and telomere attrition between high promiscuity and low promiscuity flocks of zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)
(University of Exeter College of Life & Environmental Sciences, 9 November 2020)Extra-pair paternity (EPP) is now recognised as a widespread phenomenon among socially monogamous avian systems, but the factors driving intraspecific variation in extra-pair mating behaviours are still poorly understood. ... -
Uncovering pathogens in the soil microbiome using the Galleria mellonella virulence model
(University of Exeter European Centre for Environment & Human Health, 9 November 2020)Environmental reservoirs of disease can harbour opportunistic pathogens that are harmful to human health. Anthropogenic effects such as climate change and antimicrobial resistance are likely to cause increase exposure to, ... -
Alternative splicing and its contribution to cognitive decline in the ageing brain
(University of Exeter Faculty of Medicine, 5 October 2020)Premature cognitive decline is a feature of age-related pathological processes, often associated with neurodegenerative disorders. Part of the systemic ageing process is the accumulation of senescent cells in tissues around ...
