Thesis
Khan, A. (2025). Role of Serotonin in crayfish anxiety and anti-predatory behaviour. (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...

A Transferable Infochemical for Multiple Crustaceans and Mechanistic Assessment of its pH Dependency (2024)
Thesis
Schirrmacher, P. A Transferable Infochemical for Multiple Crustaceans and Mechanistic Assessment of its pH Dependency. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4617866

Many organisms rely on their sense of smell to explore and interact with their environment. Meeting another organism, infochemicals help them decide whether to eat it, flee, fight or mate with it. The infochemical 2-phenylethylamine (PEA) has previou... Read More about A Transferable Infochemical for Multiple Crustaceans and Mechanistic Assessment of its pH Dependency.

Chemosensory science, the study of how organisms produce and assess olfactory information, is central to our understanding of how organisms interact and gain information about their environment. Signaling cue identification in aquatic systems lags be... Read More about Bioassay complexities—exploring challenges in aquatic chemosensory research.

The physiological and behavioural responses of the shore crab Carcinus meanas (L) to near-future levels of ocean acidification. (2023)
Thesis
Monaghan, A. The physiological and behavioural responses of the shore crab Carcinus meanas (L) to near-future levels of ocean acidification. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4564060

Ocean acidification as a result of increased anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide is a widely documented threat to marine life as a whole. According to current predictions, ocean pH is set to continue its hereto unprecedented level of decrease throughout the...

The Readiness of Water Molecules to Split into Hydrogen + Oxygen: A Proposed New Aspect of Water Splitting (2023)
Journal Article
Schäfer, H., Schuster, A., Kunis, S., Bookholt, T., Hardege, J., Ruewe, K., & Brune, J. (in press). The Readiness of Water Molecules to Split into Hydrogen + Oxygen: A Proposed New Aspect of Water Splitting. Advanced materials, Article 2300099. https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202300099

The potential of the anode, at which the evolution of oxygen begins, is a key parameter that describes how well water is split in water electrolyzers. Research efforts related to electrocatalytically initiated water splitting that aim at reducing the...

Becoming nose-blind—Climate change impacts on chemical communication (2022)
Journal Article
Roggatz, C. C., Saha, M., Blanchard, S., Schirrmacher, P., Fink, P., Verheggen, F., & Hardege, J. D. (2022). Becoming nose-blind—Climate change impacts on chemical communication. Global change biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16209

Chemical communication via infochemicals plays a pivotal role in ecological interactions, allowing organisms to sense their environment, locate predators, food, habitats, or mates. A growing number of studies suggest that climate change-associated st... Read More about Becoming nose-blind—Climate change impacts on chemical communication.

A Review Of The Combined Stress From PH And Microplastic Derived Odours On The Carcinus Maenas Olfactory Capacity (2022)
Thesis
Ohnstad, H. A Review Of The Combined Stress From PH And Microplastic Derived Odours On The Carcinus Maenas Olfactory Capacity. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4297845

In recent years, a large amount of research has been done on climate change, which predicts ocean acidification (OA) will end up causing a significant drop in the pH of the oceans by the end of the 21st century. Research carried out looking at pH red... Read More about A Review Of The Combined Stress From PH And Microplastic Derived Odours On The Carcinus Maenas Olfactory Capacity.
