Variability in nitrate-reducing oral bacteria and nitric oxide metabolites in biological fluids following dietary nitrate administration: An assessment of the critical difference (2018)
Journal Article
Liddle, L., Burleigh, M. C., Monaghan, C., Muggeridge, D. J., Sculthorpe, N., Pedlar, C. R., Butcher, J., Henriquez, F. L., & Easton, C. (2019). Variability in nitrate-reducing oral bacteria and nitric oxide metabolites in biological fluids following dietary nitrate administration: An assessment of the critical difference. Nitric Oxide: Biology and Chemistry, 83, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.niox.2018.12.003

There is conflicting evidence on whether dietary nitrate supplementation can improve exercise performance. This may arise from the complex nature of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism which causes substantial inter-individual variability, within-person bio...

Optimising camera trap data quality at mammal resting places. (2018)
Journal Article
Findlay, M. A., Briers, R. A., & White, P. J. C. (2018). Optimising camera trap data quality at mammal resting places. In Practice, 24-28

A thorough understanding of how camera traps function is essential for ensuring correct set-up and quality of data. We illustrate the challenges through a case study of camera trapping an otter Lutra lutra resting and breeding place. Appropriate surv...

Journal Article
Harvey, M., Weston, K. L., Gray, W. K., O’Callaghan, A., Oates, L. L., Davidson, R., & Walker, R. W. (2019). High-intensity interval training in people with Parkinson’s disease: a randomized, controlled feasibility trial. Clinical Rehabilitation, 33(3), 428-438. https://doi.org/10.1177/0269215518815221

Objectives:
To investigate whether people with Parkinson’s disease can exercise at a high-intensity across a 12-week intervention and to assess the impact of the intervention on cardiorespiratory fitness.

Design:
This is a randomized, controlled... Read More about High-intensity interval training in people with Parkinson’s disease: a randomized, controlled feasibility trial.

Rhizosheath microbial community assembly of sympatric desert speargrasses is independent of the plant host (2018)
Journal Article
Marasco, R., Mosqueira, M. J., Fusi, M., Ramond, J.-B., Merlino, G., Booth, J. M., Maggs-Kölling, G., Cowan, D. A., & Daffonchio, D. (2018). Rhizosheath microbial community assembly of sympatric desert speargrasses is independent of the plant host. Microbiome, 6(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-018-0597-y

Background
The rhizosheath-root system is an adaptive trait of sandy-desert speargrasses in response to unfavourable moisture and nutritional conditions. Under the deserts’ polyextreme conditions, plants interact with edaphic microorganisms that pos...

The thin(ning) green line? Investigating changes in Kenya's seagrass coverage (2018)
Journal Article
Harcourt, W. D., Briers, R. A., & Huxham, M. (2018). The thin(ning) green line? Investigating changes in Kenya's seagrass coverage. Biology Letters, 14(11), Article 20180227. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2018.0227

Knowledge of seagrass distribution is limited to a few well-studied sites and poor where resourcesare scant (e.g. Africa), hence global estimates of seagrass carbon storage are inaccurate. Here, we analysed freely available Sentinel-2 and Landsat im... Read More about The thin(ning) green line? Investigating changes in Kenya's seagrass coverage.

Effectiveness of physical activity and sedentary behaviour interventions in altering sedentary behaviour among older adults: a systematic review (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCorry, M., Murphy, M., Bleakley, C., & Mair, J. (2018, November). Effectiveness of physical activity and sedentary behaviour interventions in altering sedentary behaviour among older adults: a systematic review. Presented at Public Health Science Conference, Belfast, UK

Background
Long and frequent bouts of sedentary behaviour pose a major risk to health and increase the incidence of hypokinetic diseases and mortality, independent of the risks caused by physical inactivity alone. The aim of this systematic review w...
