H., McManus, H., Mitchell, E. A. D., Mozley-Stanridge, S. E., Parfrey, L. W., Pawlowski, J., …Spiegel, F. W. (2012). The Revised Classification of Eukaryotes. Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 59(5), 429-514. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1550-7408.2012.00644.x

This revision of the classification of eukaryotes, which updates that of Adl et al. [J. Eukaryot. Microbiol. 52 (2005) 399], retains an emphasis on the protists and incorporates changes since 2005 that have resolved nodes and branches in phylogenetic...

Chapter Five - Microsatellites for Microbiologists (2012)
Book
Sweet, M. J., Scriven, L. A., & Singleton, I. (2012). Chapter Five - Microsatellites for Microbiologists. Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-394382-8.00005-8

Abstract Microsatellites are repeating sequences of 2–6 base pairs of DNA. Currently, they are used as molecular markers in many organisms, specifically in genetic studies analyzing kinship and population structure. In addition, they can be used to s...

Avian Urine: Its Potential as a Non-Invasive Biomonitor of Environmental Metal Exposure in Birds (2012)
Journal Article
Clapp, J. B., Bevan, R. M., & Singleton, I. (2012). Avian Urine: Its Potential as a Non-Invasive Biomonitor of Environmental Metal Exposure in Birds. Water, air, and soil pollution, 223(7), 3923-3938. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11270-012-1161-1

Current non-invasive biomonitoring techniques to measure heavy metal exposure in free ranging birds using eggs, feathers and guano are problematic because essential metals copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) deposited in eggs and feathers are under physiologic...
