White R, Bennett P
PLoS One . 2015 Apr; 10(4):e0121849. PMID: 25849620
Mountainous regions are hotspots of terrestrial biodiversity. Unlike islands, which have been the focus of extensive research on extinction dynamics, fewer studies have examined mountain ranges even though they face...

Humphrey B, Thomson N, Thomas C, Brooks K, Sanders M, Delsol A, et al.
BMC Microbiol . 2012 Apr; 12:53. PMID: 22475035
Background: Understanding the survival of resistance plasmids in the absence of selective pressure for the antibiotic resistance genes they carry is important for assessing the value of interventions to combat...

Brekke P, Bennett P, Santure A, Ewen J
Mol Ecol . 2010 Nov; 20(1):29-45. PMID: 21073589
The maintenance of genetic diversity is thought to be fundamental for the conservation of threatened species. It is therefore important to understand how genetic diversity is affected by the re-introduction...

Brekke P, Bennett P, Wang J, Pettorelli N, Ewen J
Proc Biol Sci . 2010 Jul; 277(1700):3677-84. PMID: 20591862
Attempts to conserve threatened species by establishing new populations via reintroduction are controversial. Theory predicts that genetic bottlenecks result in increased mating between relatives and inbreeding depression. However, few studies...

Tayler A, Ayala J, Niumsup P, Westphal K, Baker J, Zhang L, et al.
Microbiology (Reading) . 2010 May; 156(Pt 8):2327-2335. PMID: 20430811
We have studied the mechanism by which beta-lactam challenge leads to beta-lactamase induction in Aeromonas hydrophila through transposon-insertion mutagenesis. Disruption of the dd-carboxypeptidases/endopeptidases, penicillin-binding protein 4 or BlrY leads to...

Enne V, Bennett P
Methods Mol Biol . 2010 Apr; 642:29-44. PMID: 20401584
The occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is an increasingly serious problem world-wide. In addition, to phenotypically resistant bacteria, a threat may also be posed by isolates with silent, but intact, antibiotic...

Olson V, Davies R, Orme C, Thomas G, Meiri S, Blackburn T, et al.
Ecol Lett . 2009 Feb; 12(3):249-59. PMID: 19245587
In 1847, Karl Bergmann proposed that temperature gradients are the key to understanding geographic variation in the body sizes of warm-blooded animals. Yet both the geographic patterns of body-size variation...

Liu J, Keelan P, Bennett P, Enne V
J Antimicrob Chemother . 2009 Jan; 63(3):423-6. PMID: 19131424
Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize a putative novel macrolide efflux gene located in the vicinity of sul3 in porcine Escherichia coli. Methods: Five sul3-encoding E. coli...

Li H, Toleman M, Bennett P, Jones R, Walsh T
Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 2008 Jul; 52(9):3099-105. PMID: 18591274
An outbreak involving a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain that was resistant to all tested antimicrobials except polymyxin B occurred in a hospital in Houston, TX. Previous studies on this strain showed...

Phillimore A, Orme C, Thomas G, Blackburn T, Bennett P, Gaston K, et al.
Am Nat . 2008 Apr; 171(5):646-57. PMID: 18419572
Sympatric speciation is now accepted as theoretically plausible and a likely explanation for divergence in a handful of taxa, but its contribution to large-scale patterns of speciation remains contentious. A...
