Paper microfluidic sensors towards on-site environmental analysis of soil nutrients (2024)
Thesis
Al Hinai, S. Paper microfluidic sensors towards on-site environmental analysis of soil nutrients. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4617797

The increase in the world population leads to an increase in the need for production of crops. To optimise crop production fertilizer application needs to be managed by the farmer, consequently, regular information about the chemistry of the soil is...

A Transferable Infochemical for Multiple Crustaceans and Mechanistic Assessment of its pH Dependency (2024)
Thesis
Schirrmacher, P. A Transferable Infochemical for Multiple Crustaceans and Mechanistic Assessment of its pH Dependency. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4617866

Many organisms rely on their sense of smell to explore and interact with their environment. Meeting another organism, infochemicals help them decide whether to eat it, flee, fight or mate with it. The infochemical 2-phenylethylamine (PEA) has previou... Read More about A Transferable Infochemical for Multiple Crustaceans and Mechanistic Assessment of its pH Dependency.

Developing undergraduate practical skills and independence with ‘at home practical kits’ (2024)
Journal Article
Hubbard, K., Henri, D., Scott, G., Snelling, H., & Roediger, E. (2024). Developing undergraduate practical skills and independence with ‘at home practical kits’. International journal of science education, https://doi.org/10.1080/09500693.2024.2311087

The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges for practical teaching within the sciences. While many instructors adopted innovative alternatives to conventional practicals, many relied on digital approaches that did not give students hands-on ex...

A catalogue of chromosome counts for Phylum Nematoda (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Blaxter, M., Leech, C., & Lunt, D. H. A catalogue of chromosome counts for Phylum Nematoda

Nematodes are important biological models in genetics and genomics, with research driven by basic biological as well as applied questions. The presence of holocentric chromosomes, clades with frequent polyploidy and the phenomenon of programmed DNA e... Read More about A catalogue of chromosome counts for Phylum Nematoda.

Tracking repeat spawning anadromous fish migrations over multiple years in a fragmented river suggests philopatry and sex-linked variation in space use (2024)
Journal Article
Davies, P., Britton, J. R., Andreou, D., Crundwell, C., Dodd, J. R., Lepais, O., Nunn, A. D., Sabatino, S., Velterop, R., & Bolland, J. D. (2024). Tracking repeat spawning anadromous fish migrations over multiple years in a fragmented river suggests philopatry and sex-linked variation in space use. Aquatic sciences, 86(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00027-024-01048-z

There is limited knowledge of how philopatry influences the spatial ecology of iteroparous anadromous species during their spawning migrations, but this knowledge is important in understanding population responses to interventions such as river recon...

Bioassay complexities—exploring challenges in aquatic chemosensory research (2024)
Journal Article
Hardege, J. D., Fletcher, N., Burnett, J., Ohnstad, H., & Bartels-Hardege, H. D. (2024). Bioassay complexities—exploring challenges in aquatic chemosensory research. Frontiers in ecology and evolution, 11, Article 1293585. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2023.1293585

Chemosensory science, the study of how organisms produce and assess olfactory information, is central to our understanding of how organisms interact and gain information about their environment. Signaling cue identification in aquatic systems lags be... Read More about Bioassay complexities—exploring challenges in aquatic chemosensory research.

Understanding the Threats to Fish Migration: Applying the Global Swimways Concept to the Lower Mekong (2024)
Journal Article
Cowx, I. G., Vu, A. V., Hogan, Z., Mallen-Cooper, M., Baumgartner, L. J., Lai, T. Q., Grill, G., & Sayer, C. A. (2024). Understanding the Threats to Fish Migration: Applying the Global Swimways Concept to the Lower Mekong. Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture, https://doi.org/10.1080/23308249.2024.2401018

The Mekong River basin is a biodiversity hotspot and supports the largest inland capture fishery globally. The fish and fisheries, especially migratory species that underpin the capture fisheries, are, however, under threat from multiple pressures, n...

Factors influencing European river lamprey passage at a tidal river barrier (2024)
Journal Article
Lothian, A. J., Bolland, J. D., Albright, A. J., Jubb, W. M., Bubb, D. H., Noble, R. A., Nunn, A. D., Dodd, J. R., Tummers, J. S., & Lucas, M. C. (2024). Factors influencing European river lamprey passage at a tidal river barrier. Hydrobiologia, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-024-05633-z

Understanding and improving passage by diadromous species at tidal barriers is less well advanced than that for non-tidal anthropogenic river barriers. This study assessed factors affecting upstream passage of anadromous river lamprey (Lampetra fluvi... Read More about Factors influencing European river lamprey passage at a tidal river barrier.

Ex situ experimentation to determine if introduced artificial habitat can provide alternative refuge to hazardous anthropogenic structures (2024)
Journal Article
Norman, J., Clark, D., Henshaw, A., Wright, R. M., Cattaneo, M. E. G. V., & Bolland, J. D. (2024). Ex situ experimentation to determine if introduced artificial habitat can provide alternative refuge to hazardous anthropogenic structures. Restoration Ecology, Article e14157. https://doi.org/10.1111/rec.14157

Highly degraded lowland river ecosystems are of global concern to restoration practitioners. Hazardous anthropogenic structures, such as those used for water level management (i.e. pumping stations), present a mortality risk to fish and associated ch...
