Asymmetric responses by bees and aculeate wasps to dune stabilisation across the southern Canadian prairies

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 626-637, September 2023., 2023
We analysed the effects of vegetative stabilisation of threatened inland sand dunes on wild bees and stinging wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) at 13 sites across the southern Canadian prairies. Results showed that stabilisation threatens psammophilous species and changes the structure of dune‐inhabiting aculeate communities, with asymmetric responses ...

Pitfalls of using sequence databases for heterologous expression studies – a technical review

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1611-1623, 1 May 2023., 2023
Abstract figure legend Projects involving heterologous gene expression are often characterised by similar steps. Initially, database research (A) is necessary to retrieve information of full or partial sequences of a gene of interest. A multitude of genome assemblies are annotated and deposited in public databases or are available for refined search ...

Metabarcoding of Fecal Samples to Determine Herbivore Diets: A Case Study of the Endangered Pacific Pocket Mouse. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Understanding the diet of an endangered species illuminates the animal's ecology, habitat requirements, and conservation needs. However, direct observation of diet can be difficult, particularly for small, nocturnal animals such as the Pacific pocket ...

Molecular and Paleontological Evidence for a Post-Cretaceous Origin of Rodents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The timing of the origin and diversification of rodents remains controversial, due to conflicting results from molecular clocks and paleontological data. The fossil record tends to support an early Cenozoic origin of crown-group rodents.
