Ex situ experimentation to determine if introduced artificial habitat can provide alternative refuge to hazardous anthropogenic structures (2024)
Journal Article
Norman, J., Clark, D., Henshaw, A., Wright, R. M., Cattaneo, M. E. G. V., & Bolland, J. D. (2024). Ex situ experimentation to determine if introduced artificial habitat can provide alternative refuge to hazardous anthropogenic structures. Restoration Ecology, Article e14157. https://doi.org/10.1111/rec.14157

Highly degraded lowland river ecosystems are of global concern to restoration practitioners. Hazardous anthropogenic structures, such as those used for water level management (i.e. pumping stations), present a mortality risk to fish and associated ch...

Impact of anthropogenic infrastructure on aquatic and avian predator–prey interactions in a modified lowland river (2023)
Journal Article
Norman, J., Reeds, J., Wright, R. M., & Bolland, J. D. (in press). Impact of anthropogenic infrastructure on aquatic and avian predator–prey interactions in a modified lowland river. Freshwater biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/fwb.14201

The relationship between aquatic and avian predators and prey is a fundamental process that influences the ecological dynamics of freshwater communities; a landscape of fear underpins spatial and temporal habitat use of prey, i.e., non-consumptive pr...

The influence of passive wedge-wire screen aperture and flow velocity on juvenile European eel exclusion, impingement and passage (2023)
Journal Article
Carter, L. J., Collier, S. J., Thomas, R. E., Norman, J., Wright, R. M., & Bolland, J. D. (2023). The influence of passive wedge-wire screen aperture and flow velocity on juvenile European eel exclusion, impingement and passage. Ecological engineering, 192, Article 106972. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2023.106972

The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a critically endangered catadromous fish. The decline has partly been attributed to water management infrastructure that abstract water from rivers for potable and industrial water supply, irrigation, hydroelec...

Understanding behavioural ecology of river-resident fish in winter to improve protection at water pumping stations (2022)
Thesis
Norman, J. Understanding behavioural ecology of river-resident fish in winter to improve protection at water pumping stations. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4291429

Globally, there is a reliance on water pumping stations to manage river levels and prevent flooding in heavily-modified anthropogenic rivers. Pumping stations damage longitudinal and lateral river connectivity and their operation presents a major ris...

Understanding temporal variability in fish and eel movements to minimise the likelihood of entrainment at water pumping stations (2019)
Thesis
Norman, J. Understanding temporal variability in fish and eel movements to minimise the likelihood of entrainment at water pumping stations. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222522

Rivers in the United Kingdom have been subject to extensive modification to meet societal demands for navigation, drinking water, industry, hydropower, drainage, and abstraction. This heavy pressure on river resources has resulted in many constrained...
