Lead me to train better: Transformational leadership moderates the negative relationship between athlete personality and training behaviours. (2019)
Journal Article
Zhang, S., Beatie, S., Pitkethly, A., & Dempsey, C. (2019). Lead me to train better: Transformational leadership moderates the negative relationship between athlete personality and training behaviours. Sport Psychologist, 33(2), 119-128. https://doi.org/10.1123/tsp.2018-0055

High-quality training environments are essential for athletic peak performance. However, recent research highlighted that athletes' personality characteristics could undermine effective training. The current set of studies aimed to examine whether sp...

Disambiguating serial effects of multiple timescales (2019)
Journal Article
Gekas, N., McDermott, K. C., & Mamassian, P. (2019). Disambiguating serial effects of multiple timescales. Journal of Vision, 19(6), Article 24. https://doi.org/10.1167/19.6.24

What has been previously experienced can systematically affect human perception in the present. We designed a novel psychophysical experiment to measure the perceptual effects of adapting to dynamically changing stimulus statistics. Observers are pre...

Genetic, phenotypic and ecological differentiation suggests incipient speciation in two Charadrius plovers along the Chinese coast (2019)
Journal Article
Wang, X., Que, P., Heckel, G., Hu, J., Zhang, X., Chiang, C.-Y., Zhang, N., Huang, Q., Liu, S., Martinez, J., Pagani-Núñez, E., Dingle, C., Yan Leung, Y., Székely, T., Zhang, Z., & Liu, Y. (2019). Genetic, phenotypic and ecological differentiation suggests incipient speciation in two Charadrius plovers along the Chinese coast. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 19(1), Article 135. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-019-1449-5

Background
Speciation with gene flow is an alternative to the nascence of new taxa in strict allopatric separation. Indeed, many taxa have parapatric distributions at present. It is often unclear if these are secondary contacts, e.g. caused by past...

From DNA to ecological performance: Effects of anthropogenic noise on a reef-building mussel (2019)
Journal Article
Wale, M. A., Briers, R. A., Hartl, M. G., Bryson, D., & Diele, K. (2019). From DNA to ecological performance: Effects of anthropogenic noise on a reef-building mussel. Science of the Total Environment, 689, 126-132. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.06.380

Responses of marine invertebrates to anthropogenic noise are insufficiently known, impeding our understanding of ecosystemic impacts of noise and the development of mitigation strategies. We show that the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, is negatively af... Read More about From DNA to ecological performance: Effects of anthropogenic noise on a reef-building mussel.
