Are vocal characteristics related to leadership patterns in mixed‐species bird flocks? (2018)
Journal Article
Pagani-Núñez, E., Xia, X., Beauchamp, G., He, R., Husson, J. H., Liang, D., & Goodale, E. (2018). Are vocal characteristics related to leadership patterns in mixed‐species bird flocks?. Journal of Avian Biology, 49(5), Article jav-01674. https://doi.org/10.1111/jav.01674

What structures the organization of mixed-species bird flocks, so that some ‘nuclear’ species lead the flocks, and others follow? Previous research has shown that species actively listen to each other, and that leaders are gregarious; such gregarious...

Spatial zoning of microbial functions and plant-soil nitrogen dynamics across a riparian area in an extensively grazed livestock system (2018)
Journal Article
de Sosa, L. L., Glanville, H. C., Marshall, M. R., Williams, A. P., Abadie, M., Clark, I. M., Blaud, A., & Jones, D. L. (2018). Spatial zoning of microbial functions and plant-soil nitrogen dynamics across a riparian area in an extensively grazed livestock system. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 120, 153-164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2018.02.004

Anthropogenic activities have significantly altered global biogeochemical nitrogen (N) cycling leading to major environmental problems such as freshwater eutrophication, biodiversity loss and enhanced greenhouse gas emissions. The soils in the ripari... Read More about Spatial zoning of microbial functions and plant-soil nitrogen dynamics across a riparian area in an extensively grazed livestock system.

Interference competition as a key determinant for spatial distribution of mangrove crabs (2018)
Journal Article
Cannicci, S., Fusi, M., Cimó, F., Dahdouh-Guebas, F., & Fratini, S. (2018). Interference competition as a key determinant for spatial distribution of mangrove crabs. BMC Ecology, 18(1), Article 8 (2018). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12898-018-0164-1

Background
The spatial distribution of mangrove crabs has been commonly associated with tree zonation and abiotic factors such as ground temperature and soil granulometry. Conversely, no studies were designed to investigate the role of competition f... Read More about Interference competition as a key determinant for spatial distribution of mangrove crabs.

How Does a Photocatalytic Antimicrobial Coating Affect Environmental Bioburden in Hospitals? (2018)
Journal Article
Reid, M., Whatley, V., Spooner, E., Nevill, A. M., Cooper, M., Ramsden, J. J., & Dancer, S. J. (2018). How Does a Photocatalytic Antimicrobial Coating Affect Environmental Bioburden in Hospitals?. Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, 39(4), 398-404. https://doi.org/10.1017/ice.2017.297

BACKGROUND The healthcare environment is recognized as a source for healthcare-acquired infection. Because cleaning practices are often erratic and always intermittent, we hypothesize that continuously antimicrobial surfaces offer superior control of...

Prolonged diagnostic intervals are associated with poorer outcomes, and the patient interval appears to be a substantial contributor to the overall length of the diagnostic interval. This study sought to understand how the broader context of people's...
