Additive genetic variance and developmental plasticity in growth trajectories in a wild cooperative mammal
Elise Huchard,A. Charmantier,A. Charmantier,Sinead English,Andrew W. Bateman,Johanna F. Nielsen,Johanna F. Nielsen,Tim H. Clutton-Brock +7 more
TL;DR: The results reveal that meerkat growth trajectories remain plastic throughout development, rather than showing early and irreversible divergence, and that the weak effects of early growth on adult mass, an important determinant of breeding success, are partly genetic.
Insect-host control of obligate, intracellular symbiont density.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used data from diverse and well-studied insect systems and proposed three lines of line of research to investigate the relationship between symbionts and micronutrients.

The evolution of sensitive periods in development: insights from insects
TL;DR: Understanding the role of sensitive periods can help to protect beneficial insect populations while controlling pests and vectors of disease, and shed light not only on fundamental biology, but have societal implications given the roles insects play in pollinating or decimating food crops and in spreading parasites.

Wing length and host location in tsetse ( Glossina spp.): implications for control using stationary baits
John W. Hargrove,Sinead English,Stephen J. Torr,Jennifer S. Lord,Lee R. Haines,Cari van Schalkwyk,James S. Patterson,G. A. Vale,G. A. Vale +8 more
TL;DR: Wing length in field samples of tsetse varies with ovarian age, capture month and year and, weakly, with capture method; suggestions that a target-based operation against G. f.
Early growth, dominance acquisition and lifetime reproductive success in male and female cooperative meerkats.
Sinead English,Elise Huchard,Johanna F. Nielsen,Johanna F. Nielsen,Tim H. Clutton-Brock,Tim H. Clutton-Brock +5 more
TL;DR: Investigating consequences of early growth for later reproductive success in wild meerkats found that, despite the absence of dimorphism, females who exhibited faster growth until nutritional independence were more likely to become dominant, whereas early growth did not affect dominance acquisition in males.
