Viral Mutation Rates
- R. Sanjuán, Miguel R. Nebot, N. Chirico, L. M. Mansky, R. Belshaw
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Virology
- 21 July 2010
ABSTRACT Accurate estimates of virus mutation rates are important to understand the evolution of the viruses and to combat them. However, methods of estimation are varied and often complex. Here, we… Expand
The structure of an aphid–parasitoid community
- C. B. MULler, I. C. Adriaanse, R. Belshaw, H. Godfray
- Biology
- 1 March 1999
1. A quantitative parasitoid web was constructed describing the trophic relationships between the community of aphids, parasitoids and secondary parasitoids in an abandoned field in southern England.… Expand
Robustness of ancestral state estimates: evolution of life history strategy in ichneumonoid parasitoids.
- R. Belshaw, D. Quicke
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 May 2002
We test hypotheses for the evolution of a life history trait among a group of parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea), namely, the transition among koinobiont parasitoids (parasitoids whose… Expand
Insect parasitoids an evolutionary overview
- P. Eggleton, R. Belshaw
- Biology
- 29 July 1992
This paper reviews the biology of insect parasitoids and cleptoparasitoids and places them in an evolutionary context. Available biological data are reviewed and tabulated (at the family level) with… Expand
A phylogenetic reconstruction of the Ichneumonoidea (Hymenoptera) based on the D2 variable region of 28S ribosomal RNA
- R. Belshaw, M. G. Fitton, E. Herniou, C. Gimeno, D. Quicke
- Biology
- 1 April 1998
The D2 variable region of 28S rRNA was sequenced in a wide range of Ichneumonoidea to provide the first comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of this superfamily. The two constituent families… Expand
Long-term reinfection of the human genome by endogenous retroviruses.
- R. Belshaw, V. Pereira, +4 authors M. Tristem
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 6 April 2004
Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) families are derived from their exogenous counterparts by means of a process of germ-line infection and proliferation within the host genome. Several families in the human… Expand
Genomewide Screening Reveals High Levels of Insertional Polymorphism in the Human Endogenous Retrovirus Family HERV-K(HML2): Implications for Present-Day Activity
- R. Belshaw, A. Dawson, John Woolven-Allen, J. Redding, A. Burt, M. Tristem
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Virology
- 1 October 2005
ABSTRACT The published human genome sequence contains many thousands of endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) but all are defective, containing nonsense mutations or major deletions. Only the HERV-K(HML2)… Expand
A molecular phylogeny of the Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).
- R. Belshaw, D. Quicke
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 June 1997
Phylogenetic relationships within the Aphidiinae, and between this and other subfamilies of Braconidae (Hymenoptera), were investigated using sequence data from three genes: elongation factor-1alpha,… Expand
The evolution of genome compression and genomic novelty in RNA viruses.
- R. Belshaw, O. Pybus, A. Rambaut
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome research
- 1 October 2007
The genomes of RNA viruses are characterized by their extremely small size and extremely high mutation rates (typically 10 kb and 10(-4)/base/replication cycle, respectively), traits that are thought… Expand
