Sexual selection expedites the evolution of pesticide resistance (2016)
Journal Article
Jacomb, F., Marsh, J., & Holman, L. (2016). Sexual selection expedites the evolution of pesticide resistance. Evolution, 70(12), 2746-2751. https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.13074

The evolution of insecticide resistance by crop pests and disease vectors causes serious problems for agriculture and health. Sexual selection can accelerate or hinder adaptation to abiotic challenges in a variety of ways, but the effect of sexual se...

More ornamented Great Tit Parus major fathers start feeding their offspring earlier (2016)
Journal Article
Pagani-Núñez, E., & Senar, J. C. (2016). More ornamented Great Tit Parus major fathers start feeding their offspring earlier. Ardea, 104(2), 167-176. https://doi.org/10.5253/arde.v104i2.a1

Carotenoid-based ornaments have been proposed to signal the ability to find food. The good-parent hypothesis suggests that females may rely on these carotenoid-based traits to assess male parental quality. A key question is whether the quality of the...

Creativity and Attention: A Multi-Method Investigation (2016)
Thesis
Carruthers, L. Creativity and Attention: A Multi-Method Investigation. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1052411

Creativity is a valuable attribute that involves the generation of original ideas; attention is a vital function that facilitates information selection. Past research has related these cognitive constructs, having found that highly creative people te... Read More about Creativity and Attention: A Multi-Method Investigation.

Disastrous performance of NanoCote/Aqua Based antimicrobial paint in a hospital setting (2016)
Journal Article
Ramsden, J., Reid, M., Whatley, V., & Dancer, S. (2016). Disastrous performance of NanoCote/Aqua Based antimicrobial paint in a hospital setting. Journal of Biological Physics and Chemistry, 16(3), 131-136. https://doi.org/10.4024/16ra16a.jbpc.16.03

Attempts are being made to incorporate copper into clear varnish in order to coat environmental surfaces in hospitals with the long-term goal of reducing healthcare-acquired infections (HAI). The performance of a nanocopper-containing polyacrylic emu... Read More about Disastrous performance of NanoCote/Aqua Based antimicrobial paint in a hospital setting.

The value of ‘bearing witness’ to desistance (2016)
Journal Article
Anderson, S. E. (2016). The value of ‘bearing witness’ to desistance. Probation Journal, 63(4), 408-424. https://doi.org/10.1177/0264550516664146

This paper aims to contribute to the debate on making probation practice ‘desistance-focused’. It does this through considering the body of knowledge on responding to trauma through ‘bearing witness’ to the person’s story – attending to their values...

Development of in vitro strategies to predict in vivo toxicity of engineered nanoparticles to the male reproductive system. (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Malone, E., Ross, B., Rae, M., Bouwmeester, H., Gosens, I., Cassee, F., Werner, E., Ślązak, M., & Hutchison, G. (2016, September). Development of in vitro strategies to predict in vivo toxicity of engineered nanoparticles to the male reproductive system. Poster presented at 11th International Particle Toxicology Conference

The introduction of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) to new materials and products requires informed risk
assessment. The altered physico-chemical properties of ENM mean traditional assays to evaluate toxicity
must be modified or validated to ensure... Read More about Development of in vitro strategies to predict in vivo toxicity of engineered nanoparticles to the male reproductive system..
