Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

The what, which, when, why and who of Off responses in the auditory system
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend In this article, we will first review ‘What’ different mechanisms are involved in the generation of Off responses at the sub‐cortical and cortical level of the auditory system. Then, we evaluate ‘Which’ stimulus properties elicit Off responses at the different levels of the auditory system.

Semiparametric regression for circular response with application in ecology
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 54-101, March 2026.ABSTRACT A regression model for a circular response variable depending on a linear or a circular predictor is presented in this paper. The conditional density belongs to a parametric flexible family that allows for asymmetry and varying peakedness around the modal direction.

Sexual dimorphism in striatal dopaminergic responses promotes monogamy in social songbirds
eLife, 2017 In many songbird species, males sing to attract females and repel rivals. How can gregarious, non-territorial songbirds such as zebra finches, where females have access to numerous males, sustain monogamy?
