Emergence of Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis barbatae and Paranannizziopsis in free‐ranging Australian reptiles

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Emerging fungal diseases pose a threat to reptiles globally. Increasing detections of onygenalean fungi, particularly Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis spp. and Paranannizziopsis spp. in clinically diseased free‐ranging reptiles, indicate likely ongoing spread within wild reptile populations.

Faces and phases of epistemic curiosity in science learning: A longitudinal study

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, EarlyView.
Different faces of epistemic curiosity shape science learning across development. While early scientific reasoning depends on the joint action of interest‐type and deprivation‐type curiosity, science knowledge is robustly driven by interest‐type curiosity, revealing a developmental reweighting of motivational mechanisms.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora
