Ocean Acidification Amplifies the Olfactory Response to 2-Phenylethylamine: Altered Cue Reception as a Mechanistic Pathway? (2021)
Journal Article
Hardege, J. D., Schirrmacher, P., Roggatz, C. C., & Benoit, D. M. (in press). Ocean Acidification Amplifies the Olfactory Response to 2-Phenylethylamine: Altered Cue Reception as a Mechanistic Pathway?. Journal of Chemical Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-021-01276-9

With carbon dioxide (CO2) levels rising dramatically, climate change threatens marine environments. Due to increasing CO2 concentrations in the ocean, pH levels are expected to drop by 0.4 units by the end of the century. There is an urgent need to u...

Fieldwork is an important part of higher education programmes in geography, geology, environmental sciences and biosciences because it offers opportunities to enhance graduate employability alongside pedagogical and social benefits. However, not all... Read More about Why do some students opt out of fieldwork? Using expectancy-value theory to explore the hidden voices of non-participants.

Craniofacial development illuminates the evolution of nightbirds (Strisores) (2021)
Journal Article
Navalón, G., Nebreda, S. M., Bright, J. A., Fabbri, M., Benson, R. B. J., Bhullar, B. A., …Rayfield, E. J. (2021). Craniofacial development illuminates the evolution of nightbirds (Strisores). Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 288(1948), Article 20210181. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2021.0181

Evolutionary variation in ontogeny played a central role in the origin of the avian skull. However, its influence in subsequent bird evolution is largely unexplored. We assess the links between ontogenetic and evolutionary variation of skull morpholo... Read More about Craniofacial development illuminates the evolution of nightbirds (Strisores).

Reeves’ muntjac populations continue to grow and spread across Great Britain and are invading continental Europe (2021)
Journal Article
Ward, A. I., Richardson, S., & Mergeay, J. (2021). Reeves’ muntjac populations continue to grow and spread across Great Britain and are invading continental Europe. European Journal of Wildlife Research, 67(3), Article 34. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10344-021-01478-2

The appropriate response for controlling an invasive non-native species depends on the extent to which its invasion has progressed, which can be revealed by information on its distribution and abundance. Reeves’ muntjac is a native deer to China and... Read More about Reeves’ muntjac populations continue to grow and spread across Great Britain and are invading continental Europe.

Outcomes and care priorities for older people living with frailty and advanced chronic kidney disease: A multiprofessional scoping review protocol (2021)
Journal Article
Hurst, H., Jones, E., Ormandy, P., Brettle, A., Nixon, A. C., Young, H., …Finnigan, R. (2021). Outcomes and care priorities for older people living with frailty and advanced chronic kidney disease: A multiprofessional scoping review protocol. BMJ open, 11(3), Article e040715. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2020-040715

Introduction Reported outcomes for older people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) often focus on survival and mortality and little attention is paid to symptom burden and health-related quality of life. Recognising frailty and providing inte...

Daily activity rhythms, chronotypes, and risk-taking behavior in the signal crayfish (2021)
Journal Article
Sbragaglia, V., & Breithaupt, T. (2022). Daily activity rhythms, chronotypes, and risk-taking behavior in the signal crayfish. Current Zoology, 68(2), 177-184. https://doi.org/10.1093/cz/zoab023

Consistent inter-individual differences in daily activity rhythms (i.e., chronotypes) can have ecological consequences in determining access to food resources and avoidance of predators. The most common measure to characterize chronotypes in animals... Read More about Daily activity rhythms, chronotypes, and risk-taking behavior in the signal crayfish.

Solitary bee larvae prioritize carbohydrate over protein in parentally provided pollen (2021)
Journal Article
Austin, A. J., & Gilbert, J. D. (2021). Solitary bee larvae prioritize carbohydrate over protein in parentally provided pollen. Functional ecology, 35(5), 1069-1080. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.13746

Most organisms must regulate their nutritional intake in an environment full of complex food choices. While this process is well-understood for self-sufficient organisms, dependent offspring, such as bee larvae, in practice have limited food choices...

There have been calls for Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education to become more interdisciplinary, reflecting the reality of contemporary research. However, communicating across disciplines is challenging. In this article, I...

Laterality, the partitioning of information processing into specific brain hemispheres, is widespread across animal taxa. Substantial unexplained variation in this trait exists, particularly between the sexes, despite multiple identified advantages o...
