Reducing sampling error in faecal egg counts from black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis).

International journal for parasitology. Parasites and wildlife

Stringer AP, Smith D, Kerley GI, Linklater WL.
PMID: 24918070
Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl. 2013 Oct 22;3(1):1-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2013.10.002. eCollection 2014 Apr.

Faecal egg counts (FECs) are commonly used for the non-invasive assessment of parasite load within hosts. Sources of error, however, have been identified in laboratory techniques and sample storage. Here we focus on sampling error. We test whether a...

Individual mares bias investment in sons and daughters in relation to their condition.

Animal behaviour

Cameron EZ, Linklater WL.
PMID: 11007645
Anim Behav. 2000 Sep;60(3):359-367. doi: 10.1006/anbe.2000.1480.

The Trivers-Willard hypothesis (TWH) predicts that a mother will treat a son or daughter differently depending on her ability to invest and the impact of her investment on offspring reproductive success. Although many studies have investigated the hypothesis, few...

Pillars of Life: Is There a Relationship between Lifestyle Factors and the Surface Characteristics of Dragonfly Wings?.

ACS omega

Cheeseman S, Owen S, Truong VK, Meyer D, Ng SH, Vongsvivut J, Linklater D, Tobin MJ, Werner M, Baulin VA, Luque P, Marchant R, Juodkazis S, Crawford RJ, Ivanova EP.
PMID: 30221231
ACS Omega. 2018 Jun 30;3(6):6039-6046. doi: 10.1021/acsomega.8b00776. Epub 2018 Jun 05.

Dragonfly wings are of great interest to researchers investigating biomimetic designs for antiwetting and antibacterial surfaces. The waxy epicuticular layer on the membrane of dragonfly wings possesses a unique surface nanoarchitecture that consists of irregular arrays of nanoscale pillars....

Experimental evidence for homeostatic sex allocation after sex-biased reintroductions.

Nature ecology & evolution

Linklater WL, Law PR, Gedir JV, du Preez P.
PMID: 28812656
Nat Ecol Evol. 2017 Mar 06;1(4):88. doi: 10.1038/s41559-017-0088.

First principles predict negative frequency-dependent sex allocation, but it is unproven in field studies and seldom considered, despite far-reaching consequences for theory and practice in population genetics and dynamics as well as animal ecology and behaviour. Twenty-four years of...

Single shot multispectral multidimensional imaging using chaotic waves.

Scientific reports

Anand V, Ng SH, Maksimovic J, Linklater D, Katkus T, Ivanova EP, Juodkazis S.
PMID: 32807816
Sci Rep. 2020 Aug 17;10(1):13902. doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-70849-7.

Multispectral imaging technology is a valuable scientific tool for various applications in astronomy, remote sensing, molecular fingerprinting, and fluorescence imaging. In this study, we demonstrate a single camera shot, lensless, interferenceless, motionless, non-scanning, space, spectrum, and time resolved five-dimensional...

Effect of prazosin on feline recurrent urethral obstruction.

Journal of feline medicine and surgery

Hanson KR, Rudloff E, Yuan L, Mochel JP, Linklater AK.

Beilstein J Nanotechnol. 2019 Apr 23;10:922-929. doi: 10.3762/bjnano.10.93. eCollection 2019.

The nanoscale composition of silk defining its unique properties via a hierarchial structural anisotropy needs to be analysed at the highest spatial resolution of tens of nanometers corresponding to the size of fibrils made of β-sheets, which are the...

Selection and characterization of DNA aptamers for the rat major urinary protein 13 (MUP13) as selective biorecognition elements for sensitive detection of rat pests.

Talanta

Lucarelli V, Colbert D, Li S, Cumming M, Linklater W, Mitchell J, Travas-Sejdic J, Kralicek A.
PMID: 35026634
Talanta. 2021 Nov 17;240:123073. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.123073. Epub 2021 Nov 17.

Among invasive mammalian predators, rats represent a major threat, endangering ecosystem functioning worldwide. After rat-control operations, detecting their continued presence or reinvasion requires more sensitive and lower cost detection technologies. Here, we develop a new sensing paradigm by using...
