Sex-related responses of blue mussels to the plasticiser DEHP under climate change scenarios (2023)
Thesis
Mincarelli, L. F. (2023). Sex-related responses of blue mussels to the plasticiser DEHP under climate change scenarios. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4436320

Climate change and plastic pollution are both pressing environmental issues. Little is known, however, about the combined effect of climate change conditions (such as global warming and ocean acidification) and plastic contaminants (such as the addit...

Understanding space and habitat use of the Near Threatened Eurasian Curlew to inform the value of habitat restoration schemes for the species' conservation (2023)
Thesis
Mander, L. (2023). Understanding space and habitat use of the Near Threatened Eurasian Curlew to inform the value of habitat restoration schemes for the species' conservation. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4320699

Intertidal habitats and terrestrial habitats connected to estuaries are subject to multiple anthropogenic pressures including the indirect effect of climate change (i.e., sea-level rise). To build sustainable coastal defences and create intertidal ha...

The language of abiotic stress in aquatic animals : molecular characterisation of stress metabolite-mediated stress communication (2022)
Thesis
Feugère, L. (2022). The language of abiotic stress in aquatic animals : molecular characterisation of stress metabolite-mediated stress communication. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4311814

It is well established that aquatic animals inform their neighbours of predation risk through chemical cues. In this thesis, I tested the hypothesis that stress propagation is a widespread mechanism also activated by abiotic stressors – such as those...

Human Factors in the Operation and Maintenance of Offshore Wind Farms (2022)
Thesis
Uzuegbunam, T. D. (2022). Human Factors in the Operation and Maintenance of Offshore Wind Farms. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4192750

Current maintenance planning strategies and decision support tools used in the operations and maintenance of offshore wind farms rarely account for the welfare of technicians and their ability to do work upon arrival. This create... Read More about Human Factors in the Operation and Maintenance of Offshore Wind Farms.

Understanding behavioural ecology of river-resident fish in winter to improve protection at water pumping stations (2022)
Thesis
Norman, J. (2022). Understanding behavioural ecology of river-resident fish in winter to improve protection at water pumping stations. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4291429

Globally, there is a reliance on water pumping stations to manage river levels and prevent flooding in heavily-modified anthropogenic rivers. Pumping stations damage longitudinal and lateral river connectivity and their operation presents a major ris...

Understanding the impacts of exploitation and fragmentation on the upstream migrating, adult river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis [L.]): implications for conservation (2022)
Thesis
Jubb, W. M. (2022). Understanding the impacts of exploitation and fragmentation on the upstream migrating, adult river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis [L.]): implications for conservation. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4186773

Globally, freshwater ecosystems are heavily impacted by anthropogenic pressures, including fragmentation and exploitation. Consequently, many negative impacts are observed on numerous fish populations, especially anadromous species. Currently, there...

Effects of multiple stressors on the stability of functional traits: examining individual variability in the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas, exposed to plastic odour and ocean acidification (2022)
Thesis
Howard, B. R. (2022). Effects of multiple stressors on the stability of functional traits: examining individual variability in the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas, exposed to plastic odour and ocean acidification. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4251453

The development of anthropogenic activities during recent centuries has led to an increase in environmental pollutants such as greenhouse gases causing atmospheric changes, resulting in elevated atmospheric heat retention, triggering global and ocean...

The impact of BBC Blue Planet II on awareness of and attitude to plastic pollution (2022)
Thesis
Mirzakhani, Z. (2022). The impact of BBC Blue Planet II on awareness of and attitude to plastic pollution. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4252332

This research study addresses the issue of environmental pollution caused by plastic waste, which has had extensive negative impact on the ecological systems and human life worldwide. Recent studies have found microplastics in every single aquatic sp... Read More about The impact of BBC Blue Planet II on awareness of and attitude to plastic pollution.

Evaluation of new PET tracers for receptor tumour imaging (2018)
Thesis
Miranda, C. (2018). Evaluation of new PET tracers for receptor tumour imaging. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4193339

PET imaging can be used to non-invasively characterise biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels. The oestrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) are important biomarkers in the diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up of the the...
