On the imbalance between production and exploitation of marine fish assemblages: a case study from the Celtic Seas

The paper examines the exploitation ratios of demersal fish species in the Celtic Seas and finds no evidence that rarer species have lower exploitation ratios than common ones, suggesting current management methods are insufficient for conserving the assemblage as a whole.

Human-like APOBEC3 gene expression and anti-viral responses following replacement of mouse Apobec3 with the 7-gene human APOBEC3 locus

This study creates a mouse model with human APOBEC3 genes to study their expression and anti-viral functions, showing human-like regulation and functional responses.

The design and analysis of binary variable traits in common garden genetic experiments of highly fecund species to assess heritability

The paper develops methods to estimate heritability of binary traits in highly fecund species, applying them to assess larval settlement in coral.
