The population growth consequences of variation in individual heterozygosity.
Heterozygosity has been associated with components of fitness in numerous studies across a wide range of taxa. Because heterozygosity is associated with individual performance it is also expected to be associated with population...

Relative costs of offspring sex and offspring survival in a polygynous mammal.
Costs of reproduction are expected to be ubiquitous in wild animal populations and understanding the drivers of variation in these costs is an important aspect of life-history evolution theory. We use a 43 year dataset from a...

The role of selection and evolution in changing parturition date in a red deer population.
Changing environmental conditions cause changes in the distributions of phenotypic traits in natural populations. However, determining the mechanisms responsible for these changes-and, in particular, the relative contributions...

Testing for genetic trade-offs between early- and late-life reproduction in a wild red deer population.
The antagonistic pleiotropy (AP) theory of ageing predicts genetically based trade-offs between investment in reproduction in early life and survival and performance in later life. Laboratory-based research has shown that such...

Shared spatial effects on quantitative genetic parameters
Social structure, limited dispersal, and spatial heterogeneity in resources are ubiquitous in wild vertebrate populations. As a result, relatives share environments as well as genes, and environmental and genetic sources of...

Re-mating across years and intralineage polygyny are associated with greater than expected levels of inbreeding in wild red deer.
The interaction between philopatry and nonrandom mating has important consequences for the genetic structure of populations, influencing co-ancestry within social groups but also inbreeding. Here, using genetic paternity data...

Still cognitive after all these years? Perspectives for a cognitive behavioural theory of obsessions and where we are 30 years later - a commentary
Background: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) was historically regarded as untreatable. In 1965 OCD was seen as an intractable and deteriorating condition, with little hope of improvement. It was not understood, but generally...

Mental contamination in the "Dirty Kiss"

It has been suggested that an act of a betrayal by a trusted person is a particularly important “violation” which can lead to feelings of “mental contamination”. Most experimental research has used an imaginal task referred...

Dietitian perceptions of low-calorie sweeteners
Background: Lowering energy (calorie) intake is essential in managing a healthy weight. One method of doing this is substituting sugar with low/no-calorie sweeteners. The safety of sweeteners has been debated, but little is...

Modulation of Inflammation by Extracellular Granzyme A.
Granzyme A (GrA) has long been recognized as one of the key players in the induction of cell death of neoplastic, foreign or infected cells after granule delivery by cytotoxic cells. While the cytotoxic potential of GrA is...

Comparison of two immunoassays for the measurement of serum HE4 for ovarian cancer.
INTRODUCTION: The use of Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4) as a biomarker for ovarian cancer is gaining traction, providing the impetus for development of a high throughput automated HE4 assay that is comparable to the...
