    • Timing the evolution of phosphorus-cycling enzymes through geological time using phylogenomics 

      Boden, Joanne; Zhong, Juntao; Anderson, Rika; Stueeken, Eva Elisabeth (2024-05-02) - Journal article
      Phosphorus plays a crucial role in controlling biological productivity, but geological estimates of phosphate concentrations in the Precambrian ocean, during life’s origin and early evolution, vary over several orders of ...

    • Selective deforestation and exposure of African wildlife to bat-borne viruses 

      Fedurek, Pawel; Asiimwe, Caroline; Rice, Gregory K.; Akankwasa, Walter J.; Reynolds, Vernon; Hobaiter, Catherine; Kityo, Robert; Muhanguzi, Geoffrey; Zuberbühler, Klaus; Crockford, Catherine; Cer, Regina Z.; Bennett, Andrew J.; Rothman, Jessica M.; Bishop-Lilly, Kimberly A.; Goldberg, Tony L. (2024-04-22) - Journal article
      Proposed mechanisms of zoonotic virus spillover often posit that wildlife transmission and amplification precede human outbreaks. Between 2006 and 2012, the palm Raphia farinifera, a rich source of dietary minerals for ...

    • Characterisation and mapping of a Globodera pallida resistance derived from the wild potato species Solanum spegazzinii 

      Gartner, Ulrike; Armstrong, Miles R.; Sharma, Sanjeev K.; Jones, John T.; Blok, Vivian C.; Hein, Ingo; Bryan, Glenn J. (2024-04-16) - Journal article
      The potato cyst nematodes (PCN) Globodera pallida and Globodera rostochiensis are economically important potato pests in almost all regions where potato is grown. One important management strategy involves deployment through ...

    • Decadal-to-centennial increases of volcanic aerosols from Iceland challenge the concept of a Medieval Quiet Period 

      Gabriel, Imogen; Plunkett, Gill; Abbott, Peter M.; Behrens, Melanie; Burke, Andrea; Chellman, Nathan; Cook, Eliza; Fleitmann, Dominik; Hörhold, Maria; Hutchison, William; McConnell, Joseph R.; Óladóttir, Bergrún A.; Preiser-Kapeller, Johannes; Sliwinski, Jakub T.; Sugden, Patrick; Twarloh, Birthe; Sigl, Michael (2024-04-10) - Journal article
      Existing global volcanic radiative aerosol forcing estimates portray the period 700 to 1000 as volcanically quiescent, void of major volcanic eruptions. However, this disagrees with proximal Icelandic geological records ...

    • From ‘dirty word’ to ‘critical enabler’ : the evolution of peacekeeping-intelligence 

      Obuobi, Patrick Peprah (2024-04-27) - Journal article
      The article provides a historical analysis of the evolution of ‘Peacekeeping-Intelligence’ (PKI) as a UN intelligence system and tool of conflict management. It examines the processes leading to the development of the PKI ...
