Salinity does not affect late-stage in-egg embryonic or immediate post-hatch development in an ecologically important land crab species (2024)
Journal Article
Turner, L. M., Clayton, K. A., Wiberg, L., Wilson, C. H., Ibbini, Z., Tills, O., & Spicer, J. I. (2025). Salinity does not affect late-stage in-egg embryonic or immediate post-hatch development in an ecologically important land crab species. The journal of experimental biology, 228(2), https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.249629

Environmental drivers such as salinity can impact the timing and duration of developmental events in aquatic early life stages of crustaceans, including terrestrial crabs of the family Gecarcinidae. Low salinity delays larval development in land crab...

The transport and vertical distribution of microplastics in the Mekong River, SE Asia (2024)
Journal Article
Mendrik, F., Hackney, C. R., Cumming, V. M., Waller, C., Hak, D., Dorrell, R., Hung, N. N., & Parsons, D. R. (2025). The transport and vertical distribution of microplastics in the Mekong River, SE Asia. Journal of hazardous materials, 484, Article 136762. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.136762

Rivers are primary vectors of plastic debris to oceans, but sources, transport mechanisms, and fate of fluvial microplastics (<5 mm) remain poorly understood, impeding accurate predictions of microplastic flux, ecological risk and socio-economic impa...

Investigating the Importance of UK Seagrass Habitats and Current Conservation Action (2024)
Thesis
Farthing, T. (2024). Investigating the Importance of UK Seagrass Habitats and Current Conservation Action. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5088292

Since 1936, at least 44% of UK seagrass has been lost and the deterioration of seagrass habitats is predicted to continue. Seagrass habitats are rich in species diversity and have the ability to sequester large quantities of carbon. Initially, a syst...

Predictive GAM seabed maps can account for defined and fuzzy boundaries to improve accuracy in a Scottish sea loch seascape (2024)
Journal Article
Burns, N. M., Bailey, D. M., & Hopkins, C. R. (2024). Predictive GAM seabed maps can account for defined and fuzzy boundaries to improve accuracy in a Scottish sea loch seascape. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 309, Article 108939. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2024.108939

Marine seabed mapping is an important element in marine spatial and conservation planning. Recent large scale mapping programmes have greatly increased our knowledge of the seafloor, yet at finer resolutions, large gaps remain. Loch Eriboll, Scotland...

Journal Article
Agiadi, K., Caswell, B. A., Almeida, R., Becheker, A., Blanco, A., Brito, C., León-Cobo, M. J., Cook, E. M. E., Costantini, F., Karakuş, M., Leprieur, F., López, C., López-López, L., Dea, A. O., Pallacks, S., Rabanal, I., Schultz, L., Tanner, S. E., Theodoropoulou, T., Thurstan, R. H., …Darnaude, A. M. (2024). Geohistorical insights into marine functional connectivity. ICES journal of marine science : journal du conseil, 81(10), 1884-1911. https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsae117

Marine functional connectivity (MFC) refers to the flows of organic matter, genes, and energy that are caused by the active and passive movements of marine organisms. Occurring at various temporal and spatial scales, MFC is a dynamic, constantly evol... Read More about Geohistorical insights into marine functional connectivity.

Carbon dioxide removal could result in the use of lower-grade iron ore in a decarbonized net-negative emission steel industry (2024)
Journal Article
Renforth, P., Campbell, J., Foteinis, S., Cosgun, E., Young, J., Strunge, T., Riley, A. L., Mayes, W. M., & van der Spek, M. W. (2024). Carbon dioxide removal could result in the use of lower-grade iron ore in a decarbonized net-negative emission steel industry. Journal of cleaner production, 468, Article 142987. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.142987

Reducing the emissions from steel production is essential in meeting climate targets while maintaining economic prosperity. Here we show that applying deep emissions mitigation to the steel industry together with the reaction of by-product slag with...

The biological and physical controls on phytoplankton blooms off the north-east coast of the UK (2024)
Thesis
Hill, D. The biological and physical controls on phytoplankton blooms off the north-east coast of the UK. (Thesis). The University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4866477

The North Sea is a highly productive temperate coastal shelf sea which contains important fisheries that provides protein to the global market. This study investigated the biological and physical controls on the different spring bloom events in North...

Seasonal growth dynamics and blue carbon storage of the intertidal seagrass Zostera noltei (2024)
Thesis
Jackson, A. J. Seasonal growth dynamics and blue carbon storage of the intertidal seagrass Zostera noltei. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4742950

The primary objective of this study was to assess the carbon assimilation potential of a bed of the intertidal seagrass, Zostera noltei, at Spurn Point on the East Yorkshire coastline at the mouth of the Humber Estuary. This population of seagrass, p... Read More about Seasonal growth dynamics and blue carbon storage of the intertidal seagrass Zostera noltei.

Communicating information about the psychology of a wild carnivore, the red fox, influences perceived attitudinal changes but not overall tolerance in people (2024)
Journal Article
Morton, F. B., Henri, D., Adaway, K., Adaway, K. A., Soulsbury, C., Soulsbury, C. D., & Hopkins, C. R. (2024).
