A bibliometric analysis of gender in microbiology collaborations

R. Wheatley, L. Ogunlana

This study analyzes gender associations in microbiology review articles, finding that male lead authors have fewer female co-authors and potential impacts on collaboration diversity and scientific output.

Factors governing attachment of Rhizobium leguminosarum to legume roots

J. Parsons, C. Cocker, A. East, R. Wheatley, V. Ramachandran, F. Kaschani, M. Kaiser, P. Poole

This study identifies 115 proteins required for Rhizobium leguminosarum attachment to pea roots under varying pH conditions, revealing complex mechanisms and no single essential protein for alkaline attachment.

Lifestyle adaptations of Rhizobium from rhizosphere to symbiosis

R. Wheatley, B. Ford, L. Li, S. Aroney, H. Knights, R. Ledermann, A. East, V. Ramachandran, P. Poole

This study identifies genes critical for different stages of Rhizobium-legume symbiosis using INSeq, showing 603 genes are required for nodulation and N2 fixation, with 146 shared across stages.

Moving in complex environments: a biomechanical analysis of locomotion on inclined and narrow substrates

C. J. Clemente, T. J. M. Dick, R. Wheatley, J. Gaschk, A. F. A. A. Nasir, S. F. Cameron, R. S. Wilson

This study examines biomechanical performance of Northern quolls on narrow and wide inclined substrates, finding stability adaptations but limited speed on narrow surfaces, potentially contributing to population decline.
