Integrative taxonomy: a multisource approach to exploring biodiversity (2010)
Schlick-Steiner, Birgit C., Steiner, Florian M., Seifert, Bernhard, Stauffer, Christian, Christian, Erhard, Crozier, Ross H.
arthropod studies that used multiple disciplines for species delimitation, we evaluated the performance of single disciplines. All included disciplines had a considerable failure rate. Rigor in...
Kassahn, Karin S., Crozier, Ross H., Pörtner, Hans O., Caley, M. Julian
Recent advances in molecular biology and the use of DNA microarrays for gene expression profiling are providing new insights into the animal stress response, particularly the effects of stress on...
Molecular and chemical immune defenses in ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) (2009)
Schluns, Helge, Crozier, Ross H.
Like all other organisms, ants can be afflicted by a large number of microbial parasites and pathogens. In response, ants have evolved a range of immune defenses. Here we review current knowledge of...
Robson, Simon K.A., Crozier, Ross H.
Accurate information on the age of wild-caught animals is valuable for a variety of areas, but can be particularly difficult to obtain for small holometabolous insects, whose body size is fixed at...
Evolving sterility: Darwin and his successors (2009)
This publication does not have an abstract.
Qian, Zeng-Qiang, Crozier, Y. Ching, Schlick-Steiner, Birgit C., Steiner, Florian M., Crozier, Ross H.
The fire ant Solenopsis invicta has received considerable attention as a damaging invasive pest. In the present study, 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from publicly available...
Steiner, Florian M., Schlick-Steiner, Birgit C., VanDerWal, Jeremy, Reuther, Keefe D., Christian, Erhard, Stauffer, Christian, ...
Spatial modelling of species distributions has become an important tool in the study of biological invasions. Here, we examine the utility of combining distribution and ecological niche modelling for...
Arthofer, Wolfgang, Schlick-Steiner, Birgit C., Steiner, Florian M., Avtzis, Dimitrios N., Crozier, Ross H., Stauffer, Christian
Microsatellites are powerful markers often isolated de novo for species yet to be investigated. Enriched genomic libraries are usually used for isolation purposes. We critically evaluate the outcome...
Kassahn, Karin S., Caley, M. Julian, Ward, Alister C., Connolly, Ashley R., Stone, Glenn, Crozier, Ross H.
Coral reef fishes are expected to experience rising sea surface temperatures due to climate change. How well tropical reef fishes will respond to these increased temperatures and which genes are...
Microsatellite primers for Ficus racemosa and Ficus rubiginosa (2007)
Crozier, Y. Ching, Jia, Xiao Cheng, Yao, Jin Yan, Field, Ashley R., Cook, James M., Crozier, Ross H.
We developed 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci each for the figs Ficus (Sycomorus) racemosa and Ficus (Urostigma) rubiginosa from AG- and TG-enriched genomic libraries. These 22 loci were...
Atkinson, Lynn, Adams, Eldrige S., Crozier, Ross H.
We developed eight highly variable microsatellite markers for the termite Nasutitermes corniger. Allele number per locus ranged from nine to 34, and expected heterozygosity from 0.45 to 0.94, in...
Bay, Line K., Crozier, Y. Ching, Crozier, Ross H.
We isolated and characterized eight anonymous microsatellite loci in the mangrove mud-nesting ant, Polyrhachis sokolova. Three to 18 alleles were detected in 20 female workers collected from...
Variation in Positive Selection in Termite GNBPs and Relish (2006)
Bulmer, Mark S., Crozier, Ross H.
Social insects are model organisms for investigating molecular evolution in the innate immune system. Their diversity affords comparative analysis among closely related species, and group living is...
The evolution of worker caste diversity in social insects (2006)
Fjerdingstad, Else J., Crozier, Ross H.
Morphological diversification of workers is predicted to improve the division of labor within social insect colonies, yet many species have monomorphic workers. Individual‐level selection on the...
Variation in positive selection in termite GNBPs and Relish (2006)
Bulmer, Mark S., Crozier, Ross H.
Social insects are model organisms for investigating molecular evolution in the innate immune system. Their diversity affords comparative analysis among closely related species, and group living is...
Age determination in individual wild-caught Drosophila serrata using pterdine concentration (2006)
Robson, Simon K.A., Vickers, Mathew, Blows, Mark W., Crozier, Ross H.
Fluorescence spectrophotometry can reliably detect levels of the pteridine 6-biopterin in the heads of individual Drosophila serrata Malloch 1927. Pteridine content in both laboratory and field...

Bulmer, Mark S, Crozier, Ross H
Social insects provide model organisms for investigating molecular evolution in the innate immune system. Their diversity affords comparative analysis among closely related species and group living...

Duplication and Diversifying Selection Among Termite Antifungal Peptides (2004)
Bulmer, Mark S., Crozier, Ross H.
We have identified and analyzed the mRNA sequence of 20 new defensin-like peptides from 11 Australian termite species of Nasutitermes and from an outgroup, Drepanotermes rubriceps. The sequence was...

The ability to alter primary sex ratios has the potential to increase a breeding individual's fitness. This is certainly true in those cooperative breeders where one sex is both philopatric and helps...
