Social monogamy, typically characterized by the formation of a pair bond, increased territorial defense, and often biparental care, has independently evolved multiple times in animals. Despite independent evolutionary origins monogamous mating systems, several homologous brain regions neuropeptides their receptors have been shown to play conserved role regulating social affiliation parental but little is known about neuromolecular mechanisms underlying monogamy on genomic scale. Here, we...
Part-time working can be beneficial for individual academics, and also academia as a whole. In addition to improving work-life balance well-being, the benefits of part-time include increased motivation, reduced burnout, workplaces that are more diverse inclusive. Here, six researchers who have experience discuss what individuals, employers funders do promote support in academia.
Photorhabdus are highly effective insect pathogenic bacteria that exist in a mutualistic relationship with Heterorhabditid nematodes. Unlike other members of the genus, asymbiotica can also infect humans. Most cannot replicate above 34°C, limiting their host-range to poikilothermic invertebrates. In contrast, P. must necessarily be able at 37°C or above. Many well-studied mammalian pathogens use elevated temperature host as signal regulate necessary changes gene expression required for...
Abstract Next‐generation sequencing methods, such as RNA ‐seq, have permitted the exploration of gene expression in a range organisms which been studied ecological contexts but lack sequenced genome. However, efficacy and accuracy ‐seq annotation methods using reference genomes from related species yet to be robustly characterized. Here we conduct comprehensive power analysis employing data Drosophila melanogaster conjunction with 11 additional compare quantify impact evolutionary divergence...
Chlamydia trachomatis (chlamydia) is the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection (STI) in England; approximately 70% of diagnoses are active young adults aged under 25. To facilitate opportunistic chlamydia screening general practice, a complex intervention, based on previously successful Intervention Randomised Trial (CIRT), was piloted England. The modified intervention (3Cs and HIV) aimed to encourage practice staff routinely offer testing all 15–24 year olds regardless...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Provision of sexual health services in primary care is necessary to reduce STIs, such as chlamydia. We piloted an educational training programme, based on the theory planned behaviour, for general practice staff with aim increasing chlamydia and HIV testing, provision condoms contraceptive information (3Cs HIV). <h3>Methods</h3> The pilot was delivered a step wedge design over three phases. Chlamydia testing diagnosis rates pre post-training were compared separately men...
<h3>Background</h3> To facilitate opportunistic chlamydia screening in general practices, a complex intervention (3Cs and HIV), based on the previously successful CIRT trial, was implemented across England. The intervention, to encourage practice staff routinely offer testing, only increased larger practices or those offered incentives. <h3>Aims</h3> a) Explore why modified did not increase all practices. b) Suggest recommendations for future implementation. <h3>Methods</h3> Phone interviews...
