Investigating the role of non-helpers in group living thrips (2024)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. D. (online). Investigating the role of non-helpers in group living thrips. The journal of animal ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.14204

Behavioural variation among individuals is a hallmark of cooperative societies, which commonly contain breeders and non-breeders, helpers and non-helpers. In some cases, labour is divided with non-breeders “helping.” Conversely, in some societies, su... Read More about Investigating the role of non-helpers in group living thrips.

Two decades of body length measurements in size-structured larval and juvenile fish populations in English rivers (2024)
Data
Ainsworth, R., Vickers, L., Bolland, J., Harvey, J., Taylor, M., Cowx, I., Noble, R., & Nunn, A. (2024). Two decades of body length measurements in size-structured larval and juvenile fish populations in English rivers. [Data]. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10552216

Long term ecological datasets are valuable in providing context and understanding to complex ecological processes that occur over broad temporal scales, and provide a baseline for analysing change. Monitoring of fish populations in UK waterbodies and... Read More about Two decades of body length measurements in size-structured larval and juvenile fish populations in English rivers.

Gendered farmer perceptions towards soil nutrition and willingness to pay for a cafetière-style filter system for in-situ soil testing: evidence from Central Kenya (2024)
Journal Article
Kamau, P., Ndirangu, I., Richardson, S., Pamme, N., & Gitaka, J. (2024). Gendered farmer perceptions towards soil nutrition and willingness to pay for a cafetière-style filter system for in-situ soil testing: evidence from Central Kenya. Heliyon, 10(18), Article e37568. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e37568

Soil nutrition is a key pillar in agricultural productivity. However, point-of-need testing for soil nutrition is not readily available in resource-limited settings such as Kenya. We set out to study the perceived need for soil testing among farmers...

Inter-annual variation in movements and passage of seaward migrating European eels at a shrouded Archimedean screw pumping station (2024)
Journal Article
Evans, O. J., Carter, L. J., Hutchinson, T., Don, A., Wright, R. M., Baktoft, H., Pauwels, I. S., & Bolland, J. D. (2024). Inter-annual variation in movements and passage of seaward migrating European eels at a shrouded Archimedean screw pumping station. Ecological engineering, 209, Article 107389. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2024.107389

The construction of less damaging (here called fish-friendly) pumping stations has taken place in recent years, but it is unknown if they provide efficient and timely passage to migratory fish, such as European eel (Anguilla anguilla (L.)). The pump... Read More about Inter-annual variation in movements and passage of seaward migrating European eels at a shrouded Archimedean screw pumping station.

Confronting the Legacy of Eugenics and Ableism: Towards Anti-Ableist Bioscience Education (2024)

Society and education is inherently ableist. Disabled people are routinely excluded from education, or have poorer outcomes within educational systems. Improving educational experiences and outcomes for people of colour have required educators to des...

Thesis
Bates, A. An investigation into the TRPV1-CGRP signalling pathway in vessel development. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4865918

TRPV1 is a non-selective cation channel which is activated through various different factors including, but not limited to, raised temperature and acidic pH. It has been linked in the past to endothelial cell proliferation in acidic conditions, but a... Read More about An investigation into the TRPV1-CGRP signalling pathway in vessel development.
