Importance sampling and Bayesian model comparison in ecology and evolution
(Wiley, 20 October 2023)Bayesian approaches to the modelling of ecological systems are increasingly popular, but there are competing methods for formal model comparisons. Here, we focus on the task of performing multimodel inference through ... -
Multi-locus homozygosity promotes actuarial senescence in a wild mammal.
(Wiley / British Ecological Society, 10 July 2023)Genome-wide homozygosity, caused for example by inbreeding, is expected to have deleterious effects on survival and/or reproduction. Evolutionary theory predicts that any fitness costs are likely to be detected in late ... -
Bi-allelic ACBD6 variants lead to a neurodevelopmental syndrome with progressive and complex movement disorders
(Oxford University Press (OUP) / Guarantors of Brain, 10 November 2023)The acyl-CoA-binding domain-containing protein 6 (ACBD6) is ubiquitously expressed, plays a role in the acylation of lipids and proteins, and regulates the N-myristoylation of proteins via N-myristoyltransferase enzymes ... -
RBOHF activates stomatal immunity by modulating both reactive oxygen species and apoplastic pH dynamics in Arabidopsis
(Wiley / Society for Experimental Biology, 8 July 2023)Stomatal defences are important for plants to prevent pathogen entry and further colonisation of leaves. Apoplastic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by NADPH oxidases and apoplastic peroxidases play an important ... -
Applying genomic approaches to identify historic population declines in European forest bats
(Wiley / British Ecological Society, 2023)1. Anthropogenically-driven environmental changes over recent centuries have led to severe declines of wildlife populations. Better tools are needed to assess the magnitude and consequences of these declines. Anecdotal ...
