© 2019, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. Increasing atmospheric CO2 levels are largely absorbed by the ocean, decreasing surface water pH1. In combination with increasing ocean temperatures, these changes have been i... Read More about Saxitoxin and tetrodotoxin bioavailability increases in future oceans.

Understanding temporal variability in fish and eel movements to minimise the likelihood of entrainment at water pumping stations (2019)
Thesis
Norman, J. Understanding temporal variability in fish and eel movements to minimise the likelihood of entrainment at water pumping stations. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222522

Rivers in the United Kingdom have been subject to extensive modification to meet societal demands for navigation, drinking water, industry, hydropower, drainage, and abstraction. This heavy pressure on river resources has resulted in many constrained...

Characterisation of a mitochondrial iron transporter of the pathogen Trypanosoma brucei (2019)
Journal Article
Zheng, F., Colasante, C., & Voncken, F. (2019). Characterisation of a mitochondrial iron transporter of the pathogen Trypanosoma brucei. Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 233, Article 111221. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molbiopara.2019.111221

Similar to higher eukaryotes, the protist parasite T. brucei harbours several iron-containing proteins that regulate DNA and protein processing, oxidative stress defence and mitochondrial respiration. The synthesis of these proteins occurs either in... Read More about Characterisation of a mitochondrial iron transporter of the pathogen Trypanosoma brucei.
