The evolutionary history of wild and domestic brown rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Abstract The brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) occupies nearly every terrestrial habitat with a human presence and is one of our most important model organisms. Despite this prevalence, gaps remain in understanding the evolution of brown rat commensalism, their global dispersal, and mechanisms underlying contemporary adaptations to diverse environments.
Palaeogenomic analysis of black rat (Rattus rattus) reveals multiple European introductions associated with human economic history - Nature Communications
|
Abstract The distribution of the black rat (Rattus rattus) has been heavily influenced by its association with humans. The dispersal history of this non-native commensal rodent across Europe, however, remains poorly understood, and different introductions may have occurred during the Roman and medieval periods. Here, in order to reconstruct the population history of European black rats, we first generate a de novo genome assembly of the black rat.

BioEssays 5/2020
Abstract By combining phylogeography and zooarchaeology, the spatial distribution and temporal dynamics within species lineages can be reconstructed. Both approaches should be used with four rat species (black, Asian house, Pacific, and brown) to understand the minimum dates of commensalism, urbanization dynamics, and connections among human societies.

A Left Biocentric Analysis
Green Web Bulletin #68 Ecofascism: What is It? A Left Biocentric Analysis By David Orton Introduction This bulletin is an examination of the term and concept of “ecofascism.” It is a strange term/concept to really have any conceptual validity.

Patch testing with alkyl glucosides: concomitant reactions are common but not ubiquitous
Background Alkyl glucosides are a family of mild surfactants that are increasingly used in a wide range of cosmetics and household products. Contact allergy to alkyl glucosides may be more frequent than previously suspected, especially in atopic patients. Objectives To investigate the frequency of contact allergy to alkyl glucosides and to identify concomitant reactivity.
Ancient proteins from ceramic vessels at Çatalhöyük West reveal the hidden cuisine of early farmers - Nature Communications
Abstract The analysis of lipids (fats, oils and waxes) absorbed within archaeological pottery has revolutionized the study of past diets and culinary practices. However, this technique can lack taxonomic and tissue specificity and is often unable to disentangle signatures resulting from the mixing of different food products.

Re “International survey on skin patch test procedures, attitudes and interpretation” L.K. Tanno et al., WAOJ (2016) 9:8
A previous survey on the practice of diagnostic patch testing among representatives of member societies of the World Allergy Organization (WAO) has, in some countries, not addressed those stakeholders actually involved in patch testing, mainly dermatologists. The need for further standardisation is acknowledged and has been addressed e.g. by publication of a patch test guideline by the European Society of Contact Dermatitis in October 2015.
Catch Per Unit Research Effort: Sampling Intensity, Chronological Uncertainty, and the Onset of Marine Fish Consumption in Historic London
Introduction Recent decades have seen widespread recovery and analysis of a wide suite of ecofactual remains from archaeological sites, particularly in territories with systematic frameworks and guidance for development-led archaeology. As the cumulative volume of ecofactual data has mounted, however, the analytical tools required for its synthesis across space and time have not always kept pace.
