Local activation of Rho GTPases is important for many functions including cell polarity, morphology, movement, and growth. Although a number of molecules affecting Rho-of-Plants small GTPase (ROP) signalling are known, it remains unclear how ROP acti

Phage therapy is the use of bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents for the control of pathogenic and other problem bacteria. It has previously been argued that successful application of phage therapy requires a good understanding of the non-linear ki

Bacteria in their natural environments frequently exist as mixed surface-associated communities, protected by extracellular material, termed biofilms. Biofilms formed by the human pathogen Campylobacter jejuni may arise in the gastrointestinal tract

The monthly incidence of listeriosis infections in England and Wales had 2 sudden increases during April 2001 (41%) and March 2003 (48%). Although no causative association is demonstrated, these increases correspond to key dates relating to the onset

An improved understanding of the decision rules used by competing animals can be achieved by examining both the temporal structure and display rate of competitors during a contest. Current models of animal competition make different predictions regar

The use of limited funding to optimal effect in conservation depends on the costs and benefits of different approaches to predicting population responses to management action. Resource management based on predictions from various classes of populatio

We examine a simple model of state-dependent (indicator) traits that focuses on their evolutionary origins as courtship signals. A necessary condition for the initial evolution of signals was found: the marginal female preference for minimal traits m

An important component of the latency period of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (prion diseases) can be attributed to delays during the propagation of the infectious prion isoform, PrPSc, through peripheral nervous tissues. A growing bo

Animals making advertisement displays are sometimes faced with a choice of producing a cheap signal with low likelihood of success or a more expensive signal with a higher likelihood of success. We construct a caricature model of such displays, appli

Physical endurance is a significant factor in many animal signalling interactions, both in the context of fighting behaviour and of sexual selection. We construct a general model of displays that are physically demanding to maintain, and determine th
