Identification of individual root-knot nematodes using low coverage long-read sequencing (2021)
Journal Article
Sellers, G. S., Jeffares, D. C., Lawson, B., Prior, T., & Lunt, D. H. (2021). Identification of individual root-knot nematodes using low coverage long-read sequencing. PLoS ONE, 16(12), Article e0253248. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0253248

Root-knot nematodes (RKN; genus Meloidogyne) are polyphagous plant pathogens of great economic importance to agriculturalists globally. These species are small, diverse, and can be challenging for accurate taxonomic identification. Many of the most i...

Behavioural stress propagation in benthic invertebrates caused by acute pH drop-induced metabolites (2021)
Journal Article
Feugere, L., Angell, L., Fagents, J., Nightingale, R., Rowland, K., Skinner, S., Hardege, J., Bartels-Hardege, H., & Wollenberg Valero, K. C. (2021). Behavioural stress propagation in benthic invertebrates caused by acute pH drop-induced metabolites. Frontiers in Marine Science, 8, Article 773870. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2021.773870

Studies on pH stress in marine animals typically focus on direct or species-specific aspects. We here test the hypothesis that a drop to pH = 7.6 indirectly affects the intra- and interspecific interactions of benthic invertebrates by means of chemic...

A rapid review and meta-regression analyses of the toxicological impacts of microplastic exposure in human cells. (2021)
Journal Article
Danopoulos, E., Twiddy, M., West, R., & Rotchell, J. M. (in press). A rapid review and meta-regression analyses of the toxicological impacts of microplastic exposure in human cells. Journal of hazardous materials, Article 127861. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127861

Humans are exposed to microplastics (MPs) daily via ingestion and inhalation. It is not known whether this results in adverse health effects and, if so, at what levels of exposure. Without epidemiological studies, human cell in vitro MP toxicological...

Functional genomics of abiotic environmental adaptation in lacertid lizards and other vertebrates (2021)
Journal Article
Wollenberg Valero, K. C., Garcia-Porta, J., Irisarri, I., Feugere, L., Bates, A., Kirchhof, S., Jovanovic Glavas, O., Pafilis, P., Samuel, S. F., Müller, J., Vences, M., Turner, A. P., Beltran-Alvarez, P., & Storey, K. B. (in press). Functional genomics of abiotic environmental adaptation in lacertid lizards and other vertebrates. The journal of animal ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13617

Understanding the genomic basis of adaptation to different abiotic environments is important in the context of climate change and resulting short-term environmental fluctuations. Using functional and comparative genomics approaches, we here investiga... Read More about Functional genomics of abiotic environmental adaptation in lacertid lizards and other vertebrates.

Thermal stress induces a positive phenotypic and molecular feedback loop in zebrafish embryos (2021)
Journal Article
Feugere, L., Wollenberg Valero, K. C., Scott, V., Rodriguez-Barucg, Q., & Beltran-Alvarez, P. (2021). Thermal stress induces a positive phenotypic and molecular feedback loop in zebrafish embryos. Journal of Thermal Biology, 102, Article 103114. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtherbio.2021.103114

Aquatic organisms must cope with both rising and rapidly changing temperatures. These thermal changes can affect numerous traits, from molecular to ecological scales. Biotic stressors are already known to induce the release of chemical cues which tri... Read More about Thermal stress induces a positive phenotypic and molecular feedback loop in zebrafish embryos.

The Nereid on the rise: Platynereis as a model system (2021)
Journal Article
Özpolat, B. D., Randel, N., Williams, E. A., Bezares-Calderón, L. A., Andreatta, G., Balavoine, G., Bertucci, P. Y., Ferrier, D. E., Gambi, M. C., Gazave, E., Handberg-Thorsager, M., Hardege, J., Hird, C., Hsieh, Y. W., Hui, J., Mutemi, K. N., Schneider, S. Q., Simakov, O., Vergara, H. M., Vervoort, M., …Arendt, D. (2021). The Nereid on the rise: Platynereis as a model system. EvoDevo, 12(1), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13227-021-00180-3

The Nereid Platynereis dumerilii (Audouin and Milne Edwards (Annales des Sciences Naturelles 1:195–269, 1833) is a marine annelid that belongs to the Nereididae, a family of errant polychaete worms. The Nereid shows a pelago-benthic life cycle: as a... Read More about The Nereid on the rise: Platynereis as a model system.

The Uptake of Sporopollenin Exine Capsules and Associated Bioavailability of Adsorbed Oestradiol in Selected Aquatic Invertebrates (2021)
Journal Article
Chapman, E., Meichanetzoglou, A., Boa, A. N., Hetjens, H., Faetsch, S., Teuchies, J., Höss, S., Moore, D., Bervoets, L., Kay, P., Heise, S., Walker, P., & Rotchell, J. M. (2021). The Uptake of Sporopollenin Exine Capsules and Associated Bioavailability of Adsorbed Oestradiol in Selected Aquatic Invertebrates. Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 107, 876–882. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00128-021-03364-8

Lycopodium clavatum sporopollenin exine capsules (SpECs) are known to both adsorb and absorb chemicals. The aim of the present work was to determine whether oestradiol (E2) is ‘bioavailable’ to bioindicator species, either pre-adsorbed to, or in the...

Laterality, reproduction and parental care : an investigation in fish (2021)
Thesis
McLean, S. E. Laterality, reproduction and parental care : an investigation in fish. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224172

Cerebral lateralisation or ‘laterality’, the partitioning of different cognitive functions in specific brain hemispheres, is a selectively advantageous trait that can enhance cognition. The selective advantages of exhibiting laterality are hypothesis... Read More about Laterality, reproduction and parental care : an investigation in fish.
