Essential techniques for introducing medaka to a zebrafish laboratory - Towards the combined use of medaka and zebrafish for further genetic dissection of the function of the vertebrate genome. Methods in Molecular Biology, 770, 211-241. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-61779-210-6_8

The medaka, Oryzias latipes, a small egg-laying freshwater fish, is one of the three vertebrate model organisms in which genome-wide phenotype-driven mutant screens have been carried out. Despite a number of large-scale screens in zebrafish, a substa...

On the vapour trail of an atmospheric imprint in insects (2011)
Journal Article
Northfield, R. G., Ellwood, M. D. F., Mejia-Chang, M., & Griffiths, H. (2011). On the vapour trail of an atmospheric imprint in insects. Biology Letters, 7(4), 601-604. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2010.1171

Terrestrial arthropods, at constant risk from desiccation, are highly sensitive to atmospheric temperature and humidity. A physiological marker of these abiotic conditions could highlight phenotypic adaptations, indicate niche partitioning, and predi...
