Warwick-Evans V, Atkinson P, Arnould J, Gauvain R, Soanes L, Robinson L, et al.
Mar Biol . 2016 Jul; 163:156. PMID: 27397936
The at-sea distribution of seabirds primarily depends on the distance from their breeding colony, and the abundance, distribution and predictability of their prey, which are subject to strong spatial and...

Gillings S, Atkinson P, Bardsley S, Clark N, Love S, Robinson R, et al.
J Anim Ecol . 2007 Apr; 76(3):503-14. PMID: 17439467
1. Functional responses -- the relationship between resource intake rate and resource abundance -- are widely used in explaining predator-prey interactions yet many studies indicate that resource availability is crucial...

Smith R, Walter M, Hice R, OBrochta D, Atkinson P
Insect Mol Biol . 2007 Jan; 16(1):61-71. PMID: 17257209
Sex-specific expression of transgenes in pest insects enables novel genetic control strategies, based either on genetic sexing or the spread of transgenes through the germ-line, to be developed and then...
4.
Michel K, OBrochta D, Atkinson P
Insect Biochem Mol Biol . 2003 Sep; 33(10):959-70. PMID: 14505689
Transposase activity that mediates the mobility of class II transposable elements, is most commonly initiated by the assembly of higher order synaptic complexes, called transpososomes. The formation of these complexes,...
5.
Michel K, Atkinson P
J Cell Biochem . 2003 Jul; 89(4):778-90. PMID: 12858343
For the Hermes transposable element to be mobilized in its eukaryotic host, the transposase, encoded by the element, must make contact with its DNA. After synthesis in the cytoplasm, the...

Guimond N, Bideshi D, PINKERTON A, Atkinson P, OBrochta D
Mol Genet Genomics . 2003 Mar; 268(6):779-90. PMID: 12655404
Transposable elements are being developed as tools for genomics and for the manipulation of insect genotypes for the purposes of biological control. An understanding of their transposition behavior will facilitate...

Michel K, OBrochta D, Atkinson P
Gene . 2002 Nov; 298(2):141-6. PMID: 12426102
Donor cleavage and strand transfer are two functions performed by transposases during transposition of class II transposable elements. Within transposable elements, the only active center described, to date, facilitating both...

Allen M, OBrochta D, Atkinson P, LeVesque C
J Med Entomol . 2001 Oct; 38(5):701-10. PMID: 11580043
A Hermes-based transposable element transformation system incorporating an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) marker was used to produce two transgenic lines of Culex quinquefasciatus (Say). The transformation frequency was approximately...

Gill J, Norris K, Potts P, Gunnarsson T, Atkinson P, Sutherland W
Nature . 2001 Jul; 412(6845):436-8. PMID: 11473317
Buffer effects occur when sites vary in quality and fluctuations in population size are mirrored by large changes in animal numbers in poor-quality sites but only small changes in good-quality...

Michel K, Stamenova A, PINKERTON A, Franz G, Robinson A, Gariou-Papalexiou A, et al.
Insect Mol Biol . 2001 Jun; 10(2):155-62. PMID: 11422511
We report the use of the Hermes transposable element for germ-line transformation of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. Hermes was able to genetically transform this insect at an estimated...
