Identification of a female sex pheromone in Carcinus maenas (2011)
Journal Article
Hardege, J. D., Bartels-Hardege, H. D., Fletcher, N., Terschak, J. A., Harley, M., Smith, M. A., Davidson, L., Hayden, D., Müller, C. T., Lorch, M., Welham, K., Walther, T., & Bublitz, R. (2011). Identification of a female sex pheromone in Carcinus maenas. Marine ecology progress series, 436, 177-189. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps09226

Despite major progress in our understanding of animal signaling systems, the identification of chemical signals in aquatic organisms is still in its infancy. Exemplary for this is the lack of structural knowledge of crustacean sex pheromones despite... Read More about Identification of a female sex pheromone in Carcinus maenas.

Analytical challenges and the development of biomarkers to measure and to monitor the effects of ocean acidification (2011)
Journal Article
Hardege, J., Rotchell, J., Terschak, J., & Greenway, G. (2011). Analytical challenges and the development of biomarkers to measure and to monitor the effects of ocean acidification. Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 30(8), 1320-1326. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trac.2011.07.004

Changing ocean-carbonate chemistry caused by oceanic uptake of anthropogenic atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the formation of carbonic acid, thus lowering the pH of the sea with predictions of a decrease from current levels at 8.15 to 7.82 by the...

Biological responses to contaminants in the Humber Estuary: disentangling complex relationships (2011)
Journal Article
García-Alonso, J., Greenway, G., Munshi, A., Gómez, J., Mazik, K., Knight, A. W., Hardege, J., & Elliott, M. (2011). Biological responses to contaminants in the Humber Estuary: disentangling complex relationships. Marine environmental research, 71(4), 295-303. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.2011.02.004

Due to the ecological importance of estuaries, it is necessary to understand the biological effects that potentially toxic contaminants induce in bioindicator species. A key aspect is whether effects at lower levels of biological organisation transfe... Read More about Biological responses to contaminants in the Humber Estuary: disentangling complex relationships.

Evidence that 1-methyl-L-tryptophan is a food-related odorant for the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) (2011)
Journal Article
Velez, Z., Hubbard, P. C., Hardege, J. D., Welham, K. J., Barata, E. N., & Canário, A. V. M. (2011). Evidence that 1-methyl-L-tryptophan is a food-related odorant for the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis). Aquaculture, 314(1-4), 153-158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2011.01.025

Nocturnal animals often rely heavily on olfactory cues to locate their food. This is especially true for fish whose prey live buried in the substrate. The aim of the current study was to identify non-polar odorants released by the ragworm (Hediste di...

Microscreening toxicity system based on living magnetic yeast and gradient chips (2010)
Journal Article
García-Alonso, J., Fakhrullin, R. F., Paunov, V. N., Shen, Z., Hardege, J. D., Pamme, N., Haswell, S. J., & Greenway, G. M. (2011). Microscreening toxicity system based on living magnetic yeast and gradient chips. Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 400(4), 1009-1013. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00216-010-4241-3

There is an increasing demand for easy and cost-effective methods to screen the toxicological impact of the growing number of chemical mixtures being generated by industry. Such a screening method has been developed using viable, genetically modified... Read More about Microscreening toxicity system based on living magnetic yeast and gradient chips.

Identification, release and olfactory detection of bile salts in the intestinal fluid of the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) (2009)
Journal Article
Velez, Z., Hubbard, P. C., Welham, K., Hardege, J., Barata, E. N., & Canário, A. V. M. (2009). Identification, release and olfactory detection of bile salts in the intestinal fluid of the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis). Journal of comparative physiology. A, Sensory, neural, and behavioral physiology, 195(7), 691-698. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00359-009-0444-5

Olfactory sensitivity to bile salts is wide-spread in teleosts; however, which bile salts are released in sufficient quantities to be detected is unclear. The current study identified bile salts in the intestinal and bile fluids of Solea senegalensis...

A prototype microfluidic chip using fluorescent yeast for detection of toxic compounds (2008)
Journal Article
García-Alonso, J., Greenway, G. M., Hardege, J. D., & Haswell, S. J. (2009). A prototype microfluidic chip using fluorescent yeast for detection of toxic compounds. Biosensors & bioelectronics, 24(5), 1508-1511. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bios.2008.07.074

A microfluidic chip has been developed to enable the screening of chemicals for environmental toxicity. The microfluidic approach offers several advantages over macro-scale systems for toxicity screening, including low cost and flexibility in design....
