Understanding community diversity on coastal defences : the role of key drivers and ecological enhancements (2020)
Thesis
Hobbs, C. I. Understanding community diversity on coastal defences : the role of key drivers and ecological enhancements. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223641

Coastal defences have become prevalent in the marine environment in response to rising sea levels and increasingly frequent coastal storms. However, due to insufficient habitat heterogeneity and physical complexity such structures support lower biodi...

An evaluation of the temporal changes, distribution and abundance of the UK overwintering population of pink-footed geese (Anser brachyrhynchus) and an assessment of the North Norfolk population wintering foraging ranges. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223332

Pink-footed geese (Anser brachyrhynchus) is a high arctic breeder, breeding in Greenland, Iceland and Svalbard. There are two distinct sub-populations, both of which migrate and winter in North West Europe. The largest of these populations’ breeds in...

Diversity and Distributions, 26(10), 1357-1365. https://doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13118

Aim
Understanding patterns in the abundance of species across thermal ranges can give useful insights into the potential impacts of climate change. The abundant‐centre hypothesis suggests that species will reach peak abundance at the centre of their...

Home-made fish traps reduce the capture of small shannies (Lipophrys pholis) compared to using hand-nets in the UK (2020)
Journal Article
Barrett, C. J., Johnson, M. L., & Hull, S. L. (2020). Home-made fish traps reduce the capture of small shannies (Lipophrys pholis) compared to using hand-nets in the UK. Conservation Evidence Journal, 17, 32-34

A replicated, controlled study in 2011-2012 found that using home-made fish traps reduced the capture of unwanted, small shannies Lipophrys pholis compared to using conventional hand-nets in intertidal habitats.
