Journal Article
Dawed, A. Y., Mari, A., Brown, A., McDonald, T. J., Li, L., Wang, S., …Jonsson, A. (2023). Pharmacogenomics of GLP-1 receptor agonists: a genome-wide analysis of observational data and large randomised controlled trials. Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, 11(1), 33-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2213-8587%2822%2900340-0

Background: In the treatment of type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 receptor agonists lower blood glucose concentrations, body weight, and have cardiovascular benefits. The efficacy and side effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists vary between people. Human pharmacoge...

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.

Outdoor Microplastic Analysis Using Inlet Filters from an NOx Regulatory Air Quality Monitoring Device (2022)
Journal Article
Jenner, L. C., Kureshi, R. R., White, D., Chapman, E., Sadofsky, L. R., & Rotchell, J. M. (2022). Outdoor Microplastic Analysis Using Inlet Filters from an NOx Regulatory Air Quality Monitoring Device. Atmosphere, 13(12), Article 2017. https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos13122017

Atmospheric microplastics (MPs) are a ubiquitous environmental contaminant of emerging concern. Sampling methods provide information relating to surface area concentration and MP characteristics, without direct comparison with routinely measured stan...

Microplastics in the surgical environment (2022)
Journal Article
Field, D. T., Green, J. L., Bennett, R., Jenner, L. C., Sadofsky, L., Chapman, E., …Rotchell, J. M. (2022). Microplastics in the surgical environment. Environment International, 170, Article 107630. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2022.107630

Atmospheric microplastics (MPs) have been consistently detected within indoor and outdoor air samples. Locations with high human activity are reported to have high MP levels. The aim was to quantify and characterise the MPs present within the surgica... Read More about Microplastics in the surgical environment.

Two closely related ureotelic fish species of the genus Alcolapia express different levels of ammonium transporters in gills (2022)
Journal Article
White, L. J., Rose, M., Lawson, M., Joyce, D., Smith, A. M., Thomas, G. H., …Pownall, M. E. (2022). Two closely related ureotelic fish species of the genus Alcolapia express different levels of ammonium transporters in gills. Biology Open, 11(11), Article bio059575. https://doi.org/10.1242/bio.059575

Most fish excrete their nitrogenous waste across the gills as ammonia through the activity of the Rhesus glycoprotein ammonium transporters. In contrast, fish of the subgenus Alcolapia (Oreochromis) are the only vertebrates that survive the extreme c...

Sex and gametogenesis stage are strong drivers of gene expression in Mytilus edulis exposed to environmentally relevant plasticiser levels and pH 7.7 (2022)
Journal Article
Mincarelli, L., Chapman, E. C., Rotchell, J. M., Turner, A., & Wollenberg Valero, K. C. (in press). Sex and gametogenesis stage are strong drivers of gene expression in Mytilus edulis exposed to environmentally relevant plasticiser levels and pH 7.7. Environmental science and pollution research, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-022-23801-3

Plastic pollution and changes in oceanic pH are both pressing environmental issues. Little emphasis, however, has been placed on the influence of sex and gametogenesis stage when investigating the effects of such stressors. Here, we examined histolog...

A novel method for identifying coded tags recorded on aquatic acoustic monitoring systems (2022)
Journal Article
Lowe, C. D., Tregenza, N. J., Allen, C. J., Blow, G. E., Nuuttila, H., Bertelli, C. M., …Clarke, D. R. (2022). A novel method for identifying coded tags recorded on aquatic acoustic monitoring systems. Environmental monitoring and assessment, 194(11), Article 806. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10661-022-10500-2

Aquatic biotelemetry increasingly relies on using acoustic transmitters ('tags') that enable passive detection of tagged animals using fixed or mobile receivers. Both tracking methods are resource-limited, restricting the spatial area in which moveme... Read More about A novel method for identifying coded tags recorded on aquatic acoustic monitoring systems.

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...
