Klasson, Lisa, Kambris, Zakaria, Cook, Peter E, Walker, Thomas, Sinkins, Steven P

Abstract Background The evolutionary importance of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from Wolbachia endosymbiotic bacteria to their eukaryotic hosts is a topic of considerable interest and debate....

Wolbachia in the Culex pipiens Group Mosquitoes: Introgression and Superinfection (2009)

Walker, Thomas, Song, Shewu, Sinkins, Steven P.

Wolbachia bacteria in mosquitoes induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), where sperm from Wolbachia-infected males can produce inviable progeny. The wPip strain in the Culex pipiens group of...

Algorithms for Distributed Exploration (2008)

Thomas Walker, Daniel Kudenko, Malcolm Strens

In this paper we propose algorithms for a set of problems where a distributed team of agents tries to compile a global map of the environment from local observations. We focus on two approaches: one...

Genome Evolution of Wolbachia Strain wPip from the Culex pipiens Group (2008)

Klasson, Lisa, Walker, Thomas, Sebaihia, Mohammed, Sanders, Mandy J., Quail, Michael A., Lord, Angela, ...

The obligate intracellular bacterium Wolbachia pipientis strain wPip induces cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), patterns of crossing sterility, in the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes. The complete...

Manuscript How Employee Stock Options and Executive Equity Ownership Affect Long-term IPO Operating Performance (2007)

Kuntara Pukthuanthong, Richard Roll, Thomas Walker

To ascertain whether the form of managerial compensation affects a firm’s long-term operating performance, we track IPOs for five years after the expiration of the stabilization period. New public...

Wolbachia variability and host effects on crossing type in Culex mosquitoes (2005)

Sinkins, Steven P., Walker, Thomas, Lynd, Amy R., Steven, Andrew R., Makepeace, Ben L., Godfray, J., ...

Wolbachia is a common maternally inherited bacterial symbiont able to induce crossing sterilities known as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) in insects1, 2. Wolbachia-modified sperm are unable to...
