Encouraging use of community-based resources by bioscience students (2010)
Journal Article
Goulder, R., & Scott, G. W. (2010). Encouraging use of community-based resources by bioscience students. Bioscience education e-journal BEE-j, 16(1), 1-4. https://doi.org/10.3108/beej.16.c1

This communication reports how bioscience students are encouraged to benefit from city and regional community-based resources through use of a guidebook and student-managed learning. Positive outcomes of the module are that bioscience students take t... Read More about Encouraging use of community-based resources by bioscience students.

Promoting engagement: using species action plans to bring together students and conservation professionals (2008)
Journal Article
Scott, G. W., Turnbull, S., & Spencer, J. (2008). Promoting engagement: using species action plans to bring together students and conservation professionals. Bioscience education e-journal BEE-j, 12(1), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.3108/beej.12.5

We describe an exercise, the production of a species action plan, which utilises components of both transmission mode and experiential learning. This exercise brings together students and a professional role model to promote a stronger engagement wit...

Interspecific activity of the sex pheromone of the European shore crab (Carcinus maenas) (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bublitz, R., Sainte-Marie, B., Newcomb-Hodgetts, C., Fletcher, N., Smith, M., & Hardege, J. Interspecific activity of the sex pheromone of the European shore crab (Carcinus maenas)

The recent identification of uridine diphosphate (UDP) as the female sex-pheromone in the European shore crab Carcinus maenas demonstrated not only the link between moult and pheromone production, but also how it may have evolved from a 'simple' meta...

Habitat heterogeneity, body size and phenotypic diversity in Idotea granulosa (Isopoda) on the north-east coast of England (2001)
Journal Article
Hull, S., Winter, L., & Scott, G. (2001). Habitat heterogeneity, body size and phenotypic diversity in Idotea granulosa (Isopoda) on the north-east coast of England. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK, 81(6), 949-954. https://doi.org/10.1017/S002531540100488X

Samples were collected from six pools in order to examine the distribution, body length, base colour and phenotypic diversity (chromatophore pattern) of Idotea granulosa populations on five different species of algae (Ceramium, Corallina, Chondrus, F...

Phenotypic variation in Fucus spiralis (Phaeophyceae): morphology, chemical phenotype and their relationship to the environment (2001)
Journal Article
Scott, G., Hull, S., Hornby, S., Hardy, F. G., & Owens, N. (2001). Phenotypic variation in Fucus spiralis (Phaeophyceae): morphology, chemical phenotype and their relationship to the environment. European Journal of Phycology, 36(1), 43-50. https://doi.org/10.1080/09670260110001735188

Phenotypic Variation of Fucus spiralis was examined in terms of morphology and chemical composition, as determined by pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS). After discriminant analysis both techniques revealed the existence of two morphotypes which were...

An investigation of the genetic variation in four fucales species using cellulose acetate electrophoresis (2001)
Journal Article
Johnson, L. J., Scott, G. W., & Hull, S. L. (2001). An investigation of the genetic variation in four fucales species using cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Botanica Marina, 44(2), 119 - 123. https://doi.org/10.1515/bot.2001.016

A cellulose acetate electrophoresis method was used to examine allozyme variation both within and between three members of the genus Fucus: F. spiralis, F. vesiculosus and F. serratus and Ascophyllum nodosum. Samples of algae were collected from two... Read More about An investigation of the genetic variation in four fucales species using cellulose acetate electrophoresis.

Some implications of plant size in monotypic and polytypic populations of Fucus spiralis (2000)
Journal Article
Scott, G. W., Shaw, J. H., Hull, S. L., Pickaert, C., & Burlak, A. M. (2000). Some implications of plant size in monotypic and polytypic populations of Fucus spiralis. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK, 80(2), 359-360. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0025315499001952

Plant size and aspects of the reproductive potential of monotypic and polytypic populations of Fucus spiralis and Fucus spiralis forma nanus were compared. The two formae were distinct, but the differences between them were less pronounced where they...
