Telomere dynamics rather than age predict life expectancy in the wild (2009)
Bize, P., Criscuolo, F., Metcalfe, N.B., Nasir, L., Monaghan, P.
Despite accumulating evidence from in vitro studies that cellular senescence is linked to telomere dynamics, how this relates to whole-organism senescence and longevity is poorly understood and...
Spencer, K.A., Evans, N.P., Monaghan, P.
There is growing international interest in how environmental conditions experienced during development can shape adult phenotypes and the extent to which such induced changes are adaptive. One...
The effects of competition on pre- and post-metamorphic phenotypes in the common frog (2008)
Stamper, C.E., Stevens, D.J., Downie, J.R., Monaghan, P.
Many species express different phenotypes when reared under different environmental conditions, However, few studies have considered the possible post-metamorphic effects associated with the...
Criscuolo, F., Monaghan, P., Nasir, L., Metcalfe, N.B.
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is responsible for up to 50% of total energy expenditure, and so should be under strong selection pressure, yet it shows extensive intraspecific variation and a low...
De Vries, M.H., Monaghan, P., Knecht, S., Zwitserlood, P.
Embedded hierarchical structures, such as ‘‘the rat the cat ate was brown’’, constitute a core generative property of a natural language theory. Several recent studies have reported learning...
Plasticity of the duration of metamorphosis in the African clawed toad (2008)
Walsh, P.T., Downie, J.R., Monaghan, P.
In organisms with complex life cycles, such as amphibians, selection is thought to have minimized the duration of metamorphosis, because this is the stage at which predation risk is presumed to be...
Early growth conditions, phenotypic development and environmental change (2008)
Phenotypic development is the result of a complex interplay involving the organism's own genetic make-up and the environment it experiences during development. The latter encompasses not just the...
Fecundity and survival in relation to resistance to oxidative stress in a free-living bird (2008)
Bize, P., Devevey, G., Monaghan, P., Doligez, B., Christe, P.
Major life history traits, such as fecundity and survival, have been consistently demonstrated to covary positively in nature, some individuals having more resources than others to allocate to all...
Bell , A., Monaghan, P., Page, A.P.
Immunophilin is the collective name given to the cyclophilin and FK506-binding protein (FKBP) families. As the name suggests, these include the major binding proteins of certain immunosuppressive...
The differential role of phonological and distributional cues in grammatical categorisation (2005)
Monaghan, P., Chater, N., Christiansen, M.H.
Recognising the grammatical categories of words is a necessary skill for the acquisition of syntax and for on-line sentence processing. The syntactic and semantic context of the word contribute as...
Neglect is an acquired cognitive disorder characterized by a lack of processing of one side of a stimulus or representational space. There are hemispheric asymmetries in its cause and in its effects,...
Localization of MtuA, an LraI homologue in Streptococcus uberis (2004)
Jones, C.L., Monaghan, P., Field, T.R., Smith, A.J., Ward, P.N., Leigh, J.A.
AIMS: To determine the localization of MtuA, an LraI lipoprotein within Streptococcus uberis and assess whether the protein was able to induce an antibody response capable of growth inhibition....
When stimuli have to be matched in a complex task (such as whether 2 letters have the same name), then performance is better when stimuli are presented across the hemispheres of the brain, whereas...

Unnatural Language Processing: an empirical study of multimodal proof styles (1999)
J. Oberlander, P. Monaghan, R. Cox, K. Stenning, R. Tobin
. Computer-based logic proofs are a form of `unnatural' language in which the process and structure of proof generation can be observed in considerable detail. We have been studying how students...
Thaete, C, Brett, D, Monaghan, P, Whitehouse, S, Rennie, G, Rayner, E, ...
Hyperproof is a logic course that uses a multimodal computer interface in which proofs are constructed. Students learn differently both from the course and, relatedly, within the course. The nature...
