Extinction risks and threats facing the freshwater fishes of Britain (2023)
Journal Article
Nunn, A. D., Ainsworth, R. F., Walton, S., Bean, C. W., Hatton-Ellis, T. W., Brown, A., Evans, R., Atterborne, A., Ottewell, D., & Noble, R. A. (in press). Extinction risks and threats facing the freshwater fishes of Britain. Aquatic conservation : marine and freshwater ecosystems, https://doi.org/10.1002/aqc.4014

Extinctions occur naturally in all environments, but rates have accelerated rapidly during the Anthropocene, especially in fresh water. Despite supporting many fish species of conservation importance, there has never been a formal assessment of their...

Data
Bolland, J. D., Jubb, W. M., Noble, R. A. A., Nunn, A. D., Dodd, J. R., Lucas, M. C., Lothian, A. J., Bubb, D. H., & Albright, A. J. (2023). Upstream spawning migration of river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) in the River Yorkshire Ouse, 2018-2020. [Data]. https://doi.org/10.14284/623

This study investigated the upstream spawning migration of anadromous river lamprey in the Yorkshire Ouse, a highly dendritic and heavily fragmented tributary of the Humber Estuary (home to one of the largest UK river lamprey populations). The main E... Read More about Upstream spawning migration of river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) in the River Yorkshire Ouse, 2018-2020.

Stocking fish in inland waters: Opportunities and risks for sustainable food systems (2023)
Journal Article
Cowx, I. G., Funge-Smith, S. J., & Lynch, A. J. (in press). Stocking fish in inland waters: Opportunities and risks for sustainable food systems. Fisheries Management and Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/fme.12656

Stocking is one of the foremost tools in the inland fisheries management toolbox, but it comes with both opportunities and risks. Stocking is often used as compensation for depleted wild populations, particularly where recruitment processes have been...

Three-dimensional visualization of predatory gastropod feeding teeth with synchrotron scanning (2023)
Journal Article
Herbert, G. S., Hill, S. A., Pio, M. J., Carney, R., Carlson, A., Newham, E., & Bright, J. A. (2023). Three-dimensional visualization of predatory gastropod feeding teeth with synchrotron scanning. Journal of morphology, 284(10), Article e21633. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmor.21633

Several families of neogastropod mollusks independently evolved the ability to drill through mineralized prey skeletons using their own mineralized feeding teeth, sometimes with shell-softening chemical agents produced by an organ in the foot. Teeth... Read More about Three-dimensional visualization of predatory gastropod feeding teeth with synchrotron scanning.

Effect of Operational Wind-Turbine Vibration on Surface-Dwelling Invertebrates (2023)
Book Chapter
Burgess, J., Thomas, S., Mazik, K., Al-Mudallal, S., Tang, S. K., & Breithaupt, T. (2023). Effect of Operational Wind-Turbine Vibration on Surface-Dwelling Invertebrates. In A. N. Popper, J. Sisneros, A. D. Hawkins, & F. Thomsen (Eds.), The Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life : Principles and Practical Considerations (1-20). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-10417-6_21-1

With the UK aiming to achieve 50 GW of offshore renewable energy by 2030, offshore construction will increase in tandem. The construction noise associated with wind turbine installation has gained much attention over the years, with sound emissions t...

Hydropower Development and the Neglect of Inland Capture Fisheries from a Food Systems Perspective (2023)
Journal Article
Friend, R. M., Arthur, R. I., Brugere, C., Cowx, I. G., Doherty, B., Mak, S., Islam, M. M., Nunan, F., Paavola, J., Sretthachau, C., Stewart, B. D., Thankappan, S., & Vaddhanaphuti, C. (in press). Hydropower Development and the Neglect of Inland Capture Fisheries from a Food Systems Perspective. Society & Natural Resources, https://doi.org/10.1080/08941920.2023.2223551

This paper addresses why food security implications of projected losses to inland capture fisheries due to hydropower development have been neglected in policy arenas. Drawing on the case of the Lower Mekong Basin, this paper applies a conceptual fra...

Catchment-wide interactive effects of anthropogenic structures and river levels on fish spawning migrations (2023)
Journal Article
Jubb, W. M., Noble, R. A., Dodd, J. R., Nunn, A. D., Schirrmacher, P., Lothian, A. J., Albright, A. J., Bubb, D. H., Lucas, M. C., & Bolland, J. D. (2023). Catchment-wide interactive effects of anthropogenic structures and river levels on fish spawning migrations. Anthropocene, 43, Article 100400. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ancene.2023.100400

Worldwide, rivers are extensively fragmented by anthropogenic structures, reducing longitudinal connectivity, inhibiting migration and leading to severe declines in many fish populations, especially for diadromous species. However, few studies have d... Read More about Catchment-wide interactive effects of anthropogenic structures and river levels on fish spawning migrations.

I am a scientist: Overcoming biased assumptions around diversity in science through explicit representation of scientists in lectures (2023)
Journal Article
Henri, D. C., Coates, K., & Hubbard, K. (2023). I am a scientist: Overcoming biased assumptions around diversity in science through explicit representation of scientists in lectures. PLoS ONE, 18(7), Article e0271010. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0271010

The lack of diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is a significant issue for the sector. Many organisations and educators have identified lack of representation of historically marginalised groups within teaching mater...

The ecological fate of microplastic in the nearshore environment of South Georgia, a sub-Antarctic island (2023)
Thesis
Buckingham, J. The ecological fate of microplastic in the nearshore environment of South Georgia, a sub-Antarctic island. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4347844

Microplastic is a marine pollutant of global concern which has managed to penetrate remote regions. This thesis describes the first comprehensive assessment of microplastics in the nearshore environment of South Georgia, an island in the s...
