This dataset contains monthly/annual time series of species-specific abundances and covariates for 137 targeted larval/juvenile fish surveys at sites in a range of English lowland rivers. Larval/juvenile fish data come from two different sources: The... Read More about Larval and juvenile fish abundance, habitat, water quality, flow and climate data from English rivers, 1984-2017.

Linking Form and Function in Birds: The Ecology, Mechanics, and Evolution of Avian Cranial Kinesis (2025)
Thesis
Wagstaffe, A. (2025). Linking Form and Function in Birds: The Ecology, Mechanics, and Evolution of Avian Cranial Kinesis [Doctorate thesis, University of Hull]. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5461925

Birds exhibit cranial kinesis, which allows rotation of their upper beaks relative to their skulls. Despite centuries of research into form-function relationships in birds, broad-scale, quantitative study of cranial kinesis has been largely overlooke...

Preprint / Working Paper
Bates, A., Li, J., Rivero, F., & Wollenberg Valero, K. C. (2025). LAMPrey: a standardised method for analysing quantitative LAMP (qLAMP) and qPCR reactions using the inflection cycle threshold iCt. BioRXiv. https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.05.06.651076

Quantitative Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (qLAMP) is a relatively new method that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in disease identification, including during the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Unlike conventional quantitati... Read More about LAMPrey: a standardised method for analysing quantitative LAMP (qLAMP) and qPCR reactions using the inflection cycle threshold iCt.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development (2025)
Journal Article
Feugere, L., Silva De Freitas, C., Bates, A., Storey, K. B., Beltran-Alvarez, P., & Wollenberg Valero, K. C. (2025). Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development. FEBS Letters. https://doi.org/10.1002/1873-3468.70047

Since stress can be transmitted to congeners via social metabolites, it is paramount to understand how the social context of abiotic stress influences aquatic organisms' responses to global changes. Here, we integrated the transcriptomic and phenotyp... Read More about Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development.

Role of Serotonin in crayfish anxiety and anti-predatory behaviour (2025)
Thesis
Khan, A. (2025). Role of Serotonin in crayfish anxiety and anti-predatory behaviour [Doctoral thesis, The University of Hull]. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5179467

Encountering threatening situations is a common occurrence in the living world. When exposed to danger for extended periods, behavioural response manifests as stress-induced sustained alertness, which is known as anxiety. It is essential to understan...

Simulated heat waves affect cell fate and fitness in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum (2025)
Journal Article
Rivero Crespo, F., Wollenberg-Valero, K., & Banu, S. (2025). Simulated heat waves affect cell fate and fitness in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. Microbial Ecology, 88, 21. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00248-025-02519-y

The effects of heatwaves at organism and population levels have been widely investigated; however, little is known about how they affect the development of cell populations and the fitness of the resulting organism. Disruptions caused by heatwaves ar... Read More about Simulated heat waves affect cell fate and fitness in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum.

From tropical coral reefs to high latitude coral communities: insights into population dynamics along environmental gradients (2025)
Thesis
Chong, F. (2025). From tropical coral reefs to high latitude coral communities: insights into population dynamics along environmental gradients [Doctoral thesis, University of Hull]. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5089297

Anthropogenic climate change affects coral communities globally, exposing them to increasingly frequent disturbances. Thermal stress events might differentially compromise the recovery capacity of coral taxa across biogeographic scales. While changes...

pH Challenges in the Life of Pagurus bernhardus: Chemotaxis, Feeding, and Energy Allocation (2025)
Thesis
Jones, A. M. (2025). pH Challenges in the Life of Pagurus bernhardus: Chemotaxis, Feeding, and Energy Allocation [Doctoral thesis, University of Hull]. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5436146

It is established that decreasing ocean pH is adversely impacting marine organisms’ behaviour and physiology. In this thesis, I tested the hypothesis that challenges in the life of ocean acidification are not an isolated mechanism but an interplay be...

Journal Article
Błońska, D., Tarkan, A. S., Andreou, D., Bolland, J. D., Davies, P., Dodd, J. R., Gillingham, P., Roberts, C. G., Amat-Trigo, F., Aksu, S., Hindes, A., Palder, O. J., Yeldham, M., & Britton, J. R.

Journal of environmental management, 377, 124646. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2025.124646

Rivers across the world are increasingly fragmented due to anthropogenic barriers, with the restoration of connectivity often using fish passes. Fish passes are, however, usually designed for anadromous species, despite ecologically important non-ana...
