Problem-based learning has been applied over the last three decades to a diverse range of learning environments. In this educational approach, different problems are posed to the learners so that they can develop different solutions while learning ab...

Flow requirements of non-salmonids (2012)
Journal Article
Cowx, I. G., Noble, R. A., Nunn, A. D., Bolland, J., Walton, S., Peirson, G., & Harvey, J. P. (2012). Flow requirements of non-salmonids. Fisheries Management and Ecology, 19(6), 548-556. https://doi.org/10.1111/fme.12017

Research into the relationships between non-salmonid fish population dynamics and discharge is in its infancy compared with salmonids, thus compromising the ability to manage flows in rivers and maintain ecological status. This study reviews the pote... Read More about Flow requirements of non-salmonids.

Uremic cardiomyopathy is characterised by loss of the cardioprotective effects of insulin (2012)
Journal Article

Chronic kidney disease is associated with a unique cardiomyopathy, characterised by a combination of structural and cellular remodelling, and an enhanced susceptibility to ischaemia-reperfusion injury. This may represent dysfunction of the reperfusio... Read More about Uremic cardiomyopathy is characterised by loss of the cardioprotective effects of insulin.

Intersex in scrobicularia plana: transcriptomic analysis reveals novel genes involved in endocrine disruption (2012)
Journal Article
Ciocan, C. M., Cubero-Leon, E., Peck, M. R., Langston, W. J., Pope, N., Minier, C., & Rotchell, J. M. (2012). Intersex in scrobicularia plana: transcriptomic analysis reveals novel genes involved in endocrine disruption. Environmental Science and Technology, 46(23), 12936-12942. https://doi.org/10.1021/es302948g

Intersex, the appearance of female characteristics in male gonads, has been identified in a wide range of aquatic species worldwide, yet the underpinning molecular etiology remains uncharacterised. The presence of intersex has been shown to be a wide... Read More about Intersex in scrobicularia plana: transcriptomic analysis reveals novel genes involved in endocrine disruption.

Mixed-phenotype grouping: the interaction between oddity and crypsis (2012)
Journal Article
Rodgers, G. M., Kimbell, H., & Morrell, L. J. (2013). Mixed-phenotype grouping: the interaction between oddity and crypsis. Oecologia, 172(1), 59-68. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00442-012-2473-y

Aggregations of different-looking animals are frequently seen in nature, despite well-documented selection pressures on individuals to maintain phenotypically homogenous groups. Two well-known theories, the ‘confusion effect’ (reduced ability of a pr... Read More about Mixed-phenotype grouping: the interaction between oddity and crypsis.

Sensitivity analysis to explore responsiveness and dynamic range of multi-metric fish-based indices for assessing the ecological status of estuaries and lagoons (2012)
Journal Article

Sensitivity analysis to explore responsiveness and dynamic range of multi-metric fish-based indices for assessing the ecological status of estuaries and lagoons. Hydrobiologia, 704(1), 347-362. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-012-1314-7

Fish-based multi-metric indices are an integral tool in implementing effective water policy initiatives for transitional waters. This study analysed the behaviour of three fish indices (TFCI in the UK, ELFI in France and EFAI in Portugal) developed f...

Small body size increases the regional differentiation of populations of tropical mantellid frogs (A nura: M antellidae) (2012)
Journal Article
Pabijan, M., Wollenberg, K., & Vences, M. (2012). Small body size increases the regional differentiation of populations of tropical mantellid frogs (A nura: M antellidae). Journal of evolutionary biology, 25(11), 2310-2324. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2012.02613

The processes affecting species diversification may also exert an influence on patterns of genetic variability within species. We evaluated the contributions of five variables potentially influencing clade diversification (body size, reproductive mod...

This study investigated diel and seasonal variations in the population dynamics of Hemimysis anomala, a non-indigenous mysid originating from the Ponto-Caspian region. There were strong diel variations in the abundance (catch-per-unit-effort; CPUE) o...
