Preliminary observations on the mandibles of palaemonoid shrimp (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea: Palaemonoidea) (2015)
Journal Article
Ashelby, C. W., De Grave, S., & Johnson, M. L. (2015). Preliminary observations on the mandibles of palaemonoid shrimp (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea: Palaemonoidea). PeerJ, 2015(3), e846. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.846

The mandibles of caridean shrimps have been widely studied in the taxonomy and functional biology of the group. Within the Palaemonoidea the mandibles reach a high level of structural diversity reflecting the diverse lifestyles within the superfamily...

Evaluation of different concentration doses of eugenol on the behaviour of Nephrops norvegicus (2015)
Journal Article
Cowing, D., Powell, A., & Johnson, M. (2015). Evaluation of different concentration doses of eugenol on the behaviour of Nephrops norvegicus. Aquaculture, 442, 78-85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2015.02.039

Eugenol was tested for use as an anaesthetic on Nephrops norvegicus at three different concentrations (300, 600, 900 μL/L). Monitoring included the time taken to reach each sedation stage. Sedation stage was assessed by passive behaviours and reactio... Read More about Evaluation of different concentration doses of eugenol on the behaviour of Nephrops norvegicus.

The first use of Fulton's K for assessing and comparing the conditions of inter-tidal fish populations (2014)
Journal Article
Barrett, C. J., Johnson, M., Hall, N. J., & Hull, S. (2016). The first use of Fulton's K for assessing and comparing the conditions of inter-tidal fish populations. Marine Ecology, 37(1), 42-45. https://doi.org/10.1111/maec.12234

Fulton's K condition factor was applied, for the first time, to inter-tidal specimens of the shanny (Lipophrys pholis) and long-spined scorpion fish (Taurulus bubalis) from two English rocky shore and two Welsh rocky shore sites during summer 2010 an...

Diverging strategies to planning an ecologically coherent network of MPAs in the North Sea : The roles of advocacy, evidence and pragmatism in the face of uncertainty (2014)
Journal Article
Caveen, A. J., Fitzsimmons, C., Pieraccini, M., Dunn, E., Sweeting, C. J., Johnson, M. L., Bloomfield, H., Jones, E. V., Lightfoot, P., Gray, T. S., Stead, S. M., & Polunin, N. V. (2014). Diverging strategies to planning an ecologically coherent network of MPAs in the North Sea : The roles of advocacy, evidence and pragmatism in the face of uncertainty. Advances in Marine Biology, 69, 325-370. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-800214-8.00009-8

The North Sea is one of the most economically important seas in the world due to productive fisheries, extensive oil and gas fields, busy shipping routes, marine renewable energy development and recreational activity. Unsurprisingly, therefore, the u...

Linking eye design with host symbiont relationships in pontoniine shrimps (crustacea, decapoda, palaemonidae) (2014)
Journal Article
Dobson, N. C., De Grave, S., & Johnson, M. L. (2014). Linking eye design with host symbiont relationships in pontoniine shrimps (crustacea, decapoda, palaemonidae). PLoS ONE, 9(6), e99505. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0099505

Symbiosis is prevalent in the marine environment with many studies examining the effects of such interactions between host and symbiont. Pontoniine shrimps are a group whose ecology is characterised by symbiotic interactions. This investigation exami...

The reniform reflecting superposition compound eyes of Nephrops norvegicus: optics, susceptibility to light-induced damage, electrophysiology and a ray tracing model (2013)
Book Chapter
Gaten, E., Moss, S., & Johnson, M. L. (2013). The reniform reflecting superposition compound eyes of Nephrops norvegicus: optics, susceptibility to light-induced damage, electrophysiology and a ray tracing model. In Advances in Marine Biology; The Ecology and Biology of Nephrops norvegicus (107-148). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-410466-2.00004-2

The large reniform eyes of the reptant, tube-dwelling decapod Nephrops norvegicus are described in detail. Optically these reflecting superposition compound eyes are a little unusual in that they are laterally flattened, a feature that may enhance th...

Nephrops Fisheries in European Waters (2013)
Book Chapter

This review focuses on the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) as a resource, describing how the fishery has developed from the 1960s to the present day to become one of the most economically important fisheries in Europe. In 2010, the total landing... Read More about Nephrops Fisheries in European Waters.

Regional scale speciation reveals multiple invasions of freshwater in Palaemoninae (Decapoda) (2012)
