Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Reduction in population size, with its predicted effects on population fitness, is the most alarming anthropogenic impact on endangered species. By introducing compatible individuals, genetic rescue (GR) is a promising but debated approach for reducing the genetic load unmasked by inbreeding and for restoring the fitness of declining ...

Modeling minimum viable population size with multiple genetic problems of small populations
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract An important goal for conservation is to define minimum viable population (MVP) sizes for long‐term persistence of a species. There is increasing evidence of the role of genetics in population extinction; thus, conservation practitioners are starting to consider the effects of deleterious mutations (DM), in particular the effects of inbreeding

Multiple compensatory mutations contribute to the de‐domestication of Iberian weedy rice
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 499-510, September 2022., 2022 Weedy plants are a major constraint on agricultural productivity. Weedy rice, a weedy type of rice, invades rice fields worldwide and is responsible for reductions in rice yields. Studies to date have detected multiple independent weedy rice origins in different parts of the world.

Genomic erosion in a demographically recovered bird species during conservation rescue
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract The pink pigeon (Nesoenas mayeri) is an endemic species of Mauritius that has made a remarkable recovery after a severe population bottleneck in the 1970s to early 1990s. Prior to this bottleneck, an ex situ population was established from which captive‐bred individuals were released into free‐living subpopulations to increase population size ...

Remunicipalisation, Mutating Neoliberalism, and the Conjuncture
Antipode, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 197-217, January 2022., 2022 Abstract There is a growing interest in the progressive potential of remunicipalisation, a global trend for towns, cities, and even subnational regions to take formerly privatised assets and services back into public ownership. In this paper, we offer a novel conceptualisation of remunicipalisation, developing a spatialised conjunctural perspective ...

Individual‐based simulations of genome evolution with ancestry: The GenomeAdmixR R package
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 1346-1357, August 2021., 2021 Abstract Hybridization between populations or species results in a mosaic of the two parental genomes. This and other types of genome admixture have received increasing attention for their implications in speciation, human evolution, Evolve and Resequence (E&R) and genetic mapping.

Surveillance for pancreatic cancer in high‐risk individuals
BJS Open, Volume 3, Issue 5, Page 656-665, October 2019., 2019 During surveillance of high‐risk individuals for pancreatic cancer, a high proportion (45 per cent) of these individuals who undergo surgical resection for screening‐detected pancreatic lesions have high‐risk neoplastic lesions or pancreatic cancer. Survival was best, and similar, in high‐risk individuals with low‐risk neoplastic lesions and those with

Mechanisms of immunogenicity in colorectal cancer
BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 1283-1297, September 2019., 2019 This narrative review highlights current understanding of the mechanisms of immunogenicity in colorectal cancer. The roles of germline, somatic and epigenetic factors in determining the immune environment in colorectal cancer are considered, and the significant potential for targeted immune therapies to improve patient outcomes is discussed.

Gender &History, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 453-463, July 2026.ABSTRACT This research explores the adaptive strategies employed by Conversas (Christian women of Jewish origin) and Moriscas (Christian women of Muslim origin) in navigating adversity, particularly in their interactions with inquisitorial authorities in the early modern Crown of Aragon. This study analyses these women's efforts to uphold religious and

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 171-181, May 2025.Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a harmful apple and pear pest spread worldwide. We sequenced, for the first time, mitochondrial DNA from C. pomonella caterpillars collected in Northern Africa (Algeria) and assessed where it was introduced from.
