Book Chapter
Sharapov, K. (2016). Productive Ignorance: Assessing Public Understanding of Human Trafficking in Ukraine, Hungary and Great Britain. In M. Malloch, & P. Rigby (Eds.), Human Trafficking: The Complexities of Exploitation (17-40). Edinburgh University Press. https://doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474401128.003.0002

Focusing on three national case studies this chapter explores the comparative empirical data on public knowledge and understanding of human trafficking, examining the link between public knowledge and public policies. It highlights how public underst... Read More about Productive Ignorance: Assessing Public Understanding of Human Trafficking in Ukraine, Hungary and Great Britain.

Queen pheromones modulate DNA methyltransferase activity in bee and ant workers (2016)
Journal Article
Holman, L., Trontti, K., & Helanterä, H. (2016). Queen pheromones modulate DNA methyltransferase activity in bee and ant workers. Biology Letters, 12(1), Article 20151038. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2015.1038

DNA methylation is emerging as an important regulator of polyphenism in the social insects. Research has concentrated on differences in methylation between queens and workers, though we hypothesized that methylation is involved in mediating other fle...

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition). Autophagy, 12(1), 1-222. https://doi.org/10.1080/15548627.2015.1100356

In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies...

Discordant lifestyle mobilities in East Asia: privilege and precarity of British retirement in Thailand (2016)
Journal Article
Botterill, K. (2016). Discordant lifestyle mobilities in East Asia: privilege and precarity of British retirement in Thailand. Population, Space and Place, 23(5), e2011. https://doi.org/10.1002/psp.2011

This paper explores the lifestyle mobilities of British retirees in Thailand, drawing on empirical research conducted in 2012. Thailand is a host to a significant number of British retirees motivated by a search for a better lifestyle in Asia. This p...

Nanoparticle-allergen interactions mediate human allergic responses: protein corona characterization and cellular responses (2016)
Journal Article
Radauer-Preiml, I., Andosch, A., Hawranek, T., Luetz-Meindl, U., Wiederstein, M., Horejs-Hoeck, J., Himly, M., Boyles, M., & Duschl, A. (2016). Nanoparticle-allergen interactions mediate human allergic responses: protein corona characterization and cellular responses. Particle and fibre toxicology, 13, Article 3. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12989-016-0113-0

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) interact with different biomolecules as soon as they are in contact, resulting in the formation of a biomolecule ‘corona’. Hence, the ‘corona’ defines the biological identity of the ENMs and could affect the response o...

Motor abundance and control structure in the golf swing. (2016)
Journal Article
Wallace, E., Morrison, A., & McGrath, D. (2016). Motor abundance and control structure in the golf swing. Human Movement Science, 46, 129-147. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.humov.2016.01.009

Variability and control structure are under-represented areas of golf swing research. This study investigated the use of the abundant degrees of freedom in the golf swing of high and intermediate skilled golfers using uncontrolled manifold (UCM) anal...

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.
