Development of sleepiness in professional truck drivers: Real‐road testing for driver drowsiness and attention warning (DDAW) system evaluation

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary All new vehicle types within the European Union must now be equipped with a driver drowsiness and attention warning system starting from 2022. The specific requirements for the test procedure necessary for type approval are defined in the Annex of EU Regulation C/2021/2639.

Metabolism, personality and pace of life in the Trinidadian guppy, Poecilia reticulata

, 2016
While among-individual variation in behaviour, or personality, is common across taxa, its mechanistic underpinnings are poorly understood. The Pace of Life syndrome (POLS) provides one possible explanation for maintenance of personality differences. POLS

Artificial Selection on Relative Brain Size in the Guppy Reveals Costs and Benefits of Evolving a Larger Brain

Current Biology, 2013
Summary The large variation in brain size that exists in the animal kingdom has been suggested to have evolved through the balance between selective advantages of greater cognitive ability and the prohibitively high energy demands of a larger brain (the “

A multiplex assay to detect mosquito species, bloodmeal host source and Plasmodium in malaria vectors using Nanopore amplicon sequencing

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Insectary‐reared mosquitoes were simultaneously assessed for species identification, bloodmeal source analysis and Plasmodium detection, using a single multiplexed sequencing run on the MinION sequencing platform. The method was applied to 150 insectary‐reared mosquitoes, representing nine species blood‐fed with five vertebrate hosts and 40 samples for

Haploid Mutation Mapping Identifies a Homoeologous Non‐Reciprocal Translocation Linked to Reduced Fibre and Enhanced Protein in Brassica napus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A key challenge for the genetic improvement of canola (Brassica napus), one of the world's most important oilseeds, is the limited natural variation for commercially important traits. The creation of new variation is hindered by the lack of functional knowledge about genes controlling these traits.

Family names as indicators of Britain’s changing regional geography [PDF]

, 2009
In recent years the geography of surnames has become increasingly researched in genetics, epidemiology, linguistics and geography. Surnames provide a useful data source for the analysis of population structure, migrations, genetic relationships and ...

Salt Stress Adaptations in Soybean Involve Alterations in Pre‐mRNA Processing

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt stress can seriously affect plant survival. To adapt to salt stress, plants can alter gene expressions and/or pre‐mRNA processing patterns, or both. Previous studies could not comprehensively profile stress‐responsive pre‐mRNA processing patterns due to limitations in traditional sequencing technologies.

Interactions between male guppies facilitates the transmission of the mongenean ectoparasite Gyrodactylus turnbulli [PDF]

, 2012
In a previous study we found that female guppies shoaled more than males and that there was greater transmission of the ectoparasite Gyrodactylus turnbulli between females.

Longitudinal Surveillance of Influenza A Virus Exposure in Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) in Spain (2015–2023): Serologic and Virologic Evidence of Subtype Infections and H5N1 Spillover Risk

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are responsible for respiratory infections in a wide range of species, including birds, swine and humans. The role of wild boar (Sus scrofa) in IAV epidemiology remains underexplored. Here, we present a longitudinal serologic and virologic surveillance study of wild boars in Spain from 2015 to 2023 ...

Does inbreeding affect personality traits?

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The question of why variation is maintained in personality traits is an evolutionary puzzle. According to the condition‐dependence hypothesis, such traits depend on condition, which limits the behavioral choices available to individuals.
