Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments : a genetic perspective
Andrew Weeks,Carla M. Sgrò,Andrew G. Young,Richard Frankham,Nicki Mitchell,Kim A. Miller,Margaret Byrne,David J. Coates,Mark D. B. Eldridge,Paul Sunnucks,Martin F. Breed,Elizabeth A. James,Ary A. Hoffmann +12 more
TL;DR: A classification of translocations based on specific genetic goals for both threatened species and ecological restoration is provided, separating targets based on ‘genetic rescue’ of current population fitness from those focused on maintaining adaptive potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active versus expectant management for women in the third stage of labour
TL;DR: Although there is a lack of high-quality evidence, active management of the third stage reduced the risk of haemorrhage greater than 1000 mL at the time of birth and showed a significant decrease in primary blood loss greater than 500 mL, and mean maternal blood loss at birth.
Journal ArticleDOI
From parasite to mutualist: rapid evolution of Wolbachia in natural populations of Drosophila.
TL;DR: This work shows that the Wolbachia in California D. simulans have changed over the last 20 y so that infected females now exhibit an average 10% fecundity advantage over uninfected females in the laboratory, and suggests smaller but qualitatively similar changes in relative fecundities in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Rapid Shift in a Classic Clinal Pattern in Drosophila Reflecting Climate Change
Paul A Umina,Andrew Weeks,Andrew Weeks,Michael R. Kearney,Michael R. Kearney,Stephen William McKechnie,Stephen William McKechnie,Ary A. Hoffmann,Ary A. Hoffmann +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the classic latitudinal cline in the alcohol dehydrogenase polymorphism of Drosophila melanogaster has shifted over 20 years in eastern coastal Australia, equivalent to a shift of 4° in latitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Raftos,Britta Schaffelke,Kristen Stewart,Gergely Torda,Gergely Torda,David Wachenfeld,Andrew Weeks,Hollie M. Putnam +26 more
TL;DR: The necessity for consideration of alternative (e.g., hybrid) ecosystem states is highlighted, traits of resilient corals and coral reef ecosystems are discussed, and a decision tree for incorporating assisted evolution into restoration initiatives to enhance climate resilience of coral reefs is proposed.
