Rame Head Environmental Impact study: Review of Evidence (2011)
Report
Mazik, K., & Elliott, M. (2011). Rame Head Environmental Impact study: Review of Evidence. DEFRA

Dredging, and the disposal of dredged material, are activities essential to the maintenance of navigable waterways and to the construction and operating of ports and harbours. The activities must comply with the OSPAR Convention, relating to north-we... Read More about Rame Head Environmental Impact study: Review of Evidence.

New compounds, sexual differences, and age-related variations in the femoral gland secretions of the lacertid lizard Acanthodactylus boskianus (2011)
Journal Article

New compounds, sexual differences, and age-related variations in the femoral gland secretions of the lacertid lizard Acanthodactylus boskianus. Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 39(2), 95-101. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bse.2011.01.008

Integumental gland secretions in lizards have been postulated to play a role as semiochemicals, but few studies have analysed the chemical nature of the gland secretions used in communication. We analysed the femoral gland secretions of Acanthodactyl...

Biological responses to contaminants in the Humber Estuary: disentangling complex relationships (2011)
Journal Article

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.

Marine pollution bulletin, 62(3), 499-513. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2010.12.009

In recent times many benthic indices have been proposed to assess the ecological quality of marine waters worldwide. In this study we compared single metrics and multi-metric methods to assess coastal and transitional benthic status along human press...
