Asymptomatic neonatal herpes simplex virus infection in mice leads to long-term cognitive impairment

Abigail J. Dutton, C. D. Patel, S. A. Taylor, Callaghan R. Garland, Evelyn M. Turnbaugh, Roberto Alers-Velazquez, J. Mehrbach, Katherine M. Nautiyal, David A. Leib

This study shows that asymptomatic neonatal HSV infection in mice causes long-term cognitive impairment, highlighting the role of the γ34.5 gene in neurovirulence.

Thermal acclimation in a non-migratory songbird occurs via changes to thermogenic capacity, but not conductance

R. M. Schweizer, A. Romero, B. W. Tobalske, G. Semenov, M. D. Carling, A. M. Rice, S. A. Taylor, Z. A. Cheviron

This study shows that cold-acclimated black-capped chickadees increase their thermogenic capacity through higher metabolic rates and lean mass but do not change their thermal conductance.

Maternally transferred monoclonal antibodies protect neonatal mice from herpes simplex virus-induced mortality and morbidity

I. M. Backes, B. K. Byrd, C. D. Patel, S. A. Taylor, C. R. Garland, S. W. MacDonald, A. B. Balazs, S. C. Davis, M. E. Ackerman, D. A. Leib

This study shows that HSV-specific monoclonal antibodies transferred from mothers or directly administered to neonatal mice reduce HSV-induced mortality and morbidity.

Selection on VPS13A linked to long-distance migratory behavior in a songbird

D. P. L. Toews, S. A. Taylor, H. M. Streby, G. R. Kramer, I. J. Lovette

This paper identifies VPS13A as a gene linked to migratory directionality in songbirds, showing strong natural selection in South American wintering birds.

Genetics and evidence for balancing selection of a sex-linked colour polymorphism in a songbird

K.-W. Kim, B. C. Jackson, H. Zhang, D. P. L. Toews, S. A. Taylor, E. I. Greig, I. J. Lovette, M. M. Liu, A. Davison, S. C. Griffith, K. Zeng, T. Burke

The paper identifies the genetic basis of a sex-linked colour polymorphism in Gouldian finches and finds evidence for balancing selection maintaining the polymorphism.
