The Insulin-Like Growth Factor System in the Long-Lived Naked Mole-Rat.
(2015)Naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) (NMRs) are the longest living rodents known. They show negligible senescence, and are resistant to cancers and certain damaging effects associated with aging. The insulin-like growth ... -
Intact priors for gaze direction in autism spectrum conditions.
(2015)Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) are characterized by a range of perceptual atypicalities, including abnormalities in gaze processing. Pellicano and Burr (2012) recently proposed that perceptual atypicalities might be a ... -
Intact word processing in developmental prosopagnosia.
(2017-05-10)A wealth of evidence from behavioural, neuropsychological and neuroimaging research supports the view that face recognition is reliant upon a domain-specific network that does not process words. In contrast, the recent ... -
Integrated global assessment of the natural forest carbon potential.
(2023-11-13)Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system1. Remote-sensing estimates to quantify carbon losses from global ... -
Integrating evolution into ecological modelling: accommodating phenotypic changes in agent based models.
(2013)Evolutionary change is a characteristic of living organisms and forms one of the ways in which species adapt to changed conditions. However, most ecological models do not incorporate this ubiquitous phenomenon. We have ... -
Interactions between plant genome size, nutrients and herbivory by rabbits, molluscs and insects on a temperate grassland
(Royal Society, The, 2019)Angiosperm genome sizes (GS) vary ca 2400-fold. Recent research has shown that GS influences plant abundance, and plant competition. There are also tantalizing reports that herbivores may select plants as food dependent ...
