Perceptual Responses to High- and Moderate-Intensity Interval Exercise in Adolescents (2018)
Journal Article
Malik, A. A., Williams, C. A., Weston, K. L., & Barker, A. R. (2018). Perceptual Responses to High- and Moderate-Intensity Interval Exercise in Adolescents. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 50(5), 1021-1030. https://doi.org/10.1249/mss.0000000

Purpose Continuous high-intensity exercise is proposed to evoke unpleasant sensations as predicted by the dual-mode theory and may negatively impact on future exercise adherence. Previous studies support unpleasant sensations in affective responses... Read More about Perceptual Responses to High- and Moderate-Intensity Interval Exercise in Adolescents.

Consistent patterns of high alpha and low beta diversity in tropical parasitic and free-living protists (2018)
Journal Article
Lentendu, G., Mahé, F., Bass, D., Rueckert, S., Stoeck, T., & Dunthorn, M. (2018). Consistent patterns of high alpha and low beta diversity in tropical parasitic and free-living protists. Molecular Ecology, 27(13), 2846-2857. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.

Tropical animals and plants are known to have high alpha diversity within forests, but low beta diversity between forests. By contrast, it is unknown if microbes inhabiting the same ecosystems exhibit similar biogeographic patterns. To evaluate the b...
