Highly specific responses to queen pheromone in three Lasius ant species (2016)
Journal Article
Holman, L., Hanley, B., & Millar, J. G. (2016). Highly specific responses to queen pheromone in three Lasius ant species. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 70(3), 387-392. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-016-2058-6

Queen pheromones mediate the reproductive division of labor in social insect colonies and provide novel opportunities for investigating the evolution of animal communication. Previous work found that queens in the ant genus Lasius produce several 3-m... Read More about Highly specific responses to queen pheromone in three Lasius ant species.

Responses of saccharomyces cerevisiae strains from different origins to elevated iron concentrations. (2016)
Journal Article
Martínez-Garay, C. A., Romero, A. M., Martínez-Pastor, M. T., de Llanos, R., & Puig, S. (2016). Responses of saccharomyces cerevisiae strains from different origins to elevated iron concentrations. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 82(6), 1906-1916. https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.03464-15

Iron is an essential micronutrient for all eukaryotic organisms. However, the low solubility of ferric iron has tremendously increased the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia, especially in women and children, with dramatic consequences. Baker's yea...

High-intensity interval training (HIT) for effective and time-efficient pre-surgical exercise interventions (2016)
Journal Article
Weston, M., Weston, K. L., Prentis, J. M., & Snowden, C. P. (2016). High-intensity interval training (HIT) for effective and time-efficient pre-surgical exercise interventions. Perioperative Medicine, 5(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13741-015-0026-8

The advancement of perioperative medicine is leading to greater diversity in development of pre-surgical interventions, implemented to reduce patient surgical risk and enhance post-surgical recovery. Of these interventions, the prescription of pre-op... Read More about High-intensity interval training (HIT) for effective and time-efficient pre-surgical exercise interventions.

The trade-off between heat tolerance and metabolic cost drives the bimodal life strategy at the air-water interface (2016)
Journal Article
Fusi, M., Cannicci, S., Daffonchio, D., Mostert, B., Pörtner, H.-O., & Giomi, F. (2016). The trade-off between heat tolerance and metabolic cost drives the bimodal life strategy at the air-water interface. Scientific Reports, 6(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep19158

The principle of oxygen and capacity limitation of thermal tolerance in ectotherms suggests that the long-term upper limits of an organism's thermal niche are equivalent to the upper limits of the organism's functional capacity for oxygen provision t...

The format of children’s mental images: Penetrability of spatial images (2016)
Journal Article
Wimmer, M. C., Maras, K. L., Robinson, E. J., & Thomas, C. (2016). The format of children’s mental images: Penetrability of spatial images. European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 13(5), 582-593. https://doi.org/10.1080/17405629.2015.1132623

To investigate the format of mental images and the penetrability of mental imagery performance to top-down influences in the form of gravity information, children (4-, 6-, 8- and 10-year-olds) and adults (N = 112) performed mental rotation tasks. A l... Read More about The format of children’s mental images: Penetrability of spatial images.

Demonstrating the links between psychology and biology: the practical use of Biopac in undergraduate psychology teaching. (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Murray, J., Shaw, M., & Willis, A. (2016, January). Demonstrating the links between psychology and biology: the practical use of Biopac in undergraduate psychology teaching. Paper presented at The Teaching Fellows' Conference: innovations in teaching and supporting student learning

For those unfamiliar with psychology, there is often a perception that it is a subject that is all about the mind and ‘talking therapies. However, since the 1930s this has not been the case. Modern psychology seeks to build our knowledge base about h...
