Journal Article
Griffiths, N. P., Wright, R. M., Hänfling, B., Bolland, J. D., Drakou, K., Sellers, G. S., Zogaris, S., Tziortzis, I., Dörflinger, G., & Vasquez, M. I. (2023). Integrating environmental DNA monitoring to inform eel (Anguilla anguilla) status in freshwaters at their easternmost range—A case study in Cyprus. Ecology and Evolution, 13(2), Article e9800. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9800

Despite significant population declines and targeted European Union regulations aimed at Anguilla anguilla conservation, little attention has been given to their status at their easternmost range. This study applies wide-scale integrated monitoring t...

Putting the fish into inland fisheries – A global allocation of historic inland fish catch (2023)
Journal Article
Ainsworth, R. F., Cowx, I. G., & Funge-Smith, S. J. (2023). Putting the fish into inland fisheries – A global allocation of historic inland fish catch. Fish and Fisheries, https://doi.org/10.1111/faf.12725

Inland waters support the livelihoods of up to 820 million people and provide fisheries that make an essential contribution towards food security, particularly in the developing world where 90% of inland fisheries catch is consumed. Despite their imp... Read More about Putting the fish into inland fisheries – A global allocation of historic inland fish catch.

Toward a decade of ocean science for sustainable development through acoustic animal tracking (2022)
Journal Article
Alós, J., Aarestrup, K., Abecasis, D., Afonso, P., Alonso‐Fernandez, A., Aspillaga, E., Barcelo‐Serra, M., Bolland, J., Cabanellas-Reboredo, M., Lennox, R., McGill, R., Özgül, A., Reubens, J., & Villegas-Ríos, D. (in press). Toward a decade of ocean science for sustainable development through acoustic animal tracking. Global change biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16343

The ocean is a key component of the Earth's dynamics, providing a great variety of ecosystem services to humans. Yet, human activities are globally changing its structure and major components, including marine biodiversity. In this context, the Unite...

Becoming nose-blind—Climate change impacts on chemical communication (2022)
Journal Article
Roggatz, C. C., Saha, M., Blanchard, S., Schirrmacher, P., Fink, P., Verheggen, F., & Hardege, J. D. (2022). Becoming nose-blind—Climate change impacts on chemical communication. Global change biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16209

Chemical communication via infochemicals plays a pivotal role in ecological interactions, allowing organisms to sense their environment, locate predators, food, habitats, or mates. A growing number of studies suggest that climate change-associated st... Read More about Becoming nose-blind—Climate change impacts on chemical communication.

Modelling Antifouling compounds of Macroalgal Holobionts in Current and Future pH Conditions (2022)
Journal Article
Hardege, J. D., Roggatz, C. C., & Saha, M. (2022). Modelling Antifouling compounds of Macroalgal Holobionts in Current and Future pH Conditions. Journal of Chemical Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-021-01340-4

Marine macroalgae are important ecosystem engineers in marine coastal habitats. Macroalgae can be negatively impacted through excessive colonization by harmful bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and macro-colonisers and thus employ a range of chemical comp...

Functional genomics of abiotic environmental adaptation in lacertid lizards and other vertebrates (2021)
Journal Article
Wollenberg Valero, K. C., Garcia-Porta, J., Irisarri, I., Feugere, L., Bates, A., Kirchhof, S., Jovanovic Glavas, O., Pafilis, P., Samuel, S. F., Müller, J., Vences, M., Turner, A. P., Beltran-Alvarez, P., & Storey, K. B. (in press). Functional genomics of abiotic environmental adaptation in lacertid lizards and other vertebrates. The journal of animal ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13617

Understanding the genomic basis of adaptation to different abiotic environments is important in the context of climate change and resulting short-term environmental fluctuations. Using functional and comparative genomics approaches, we here investiga... Read More about Functional genomics of abiotic environmental adaptation in lacertid lizards and other vertebrates.

Riparian vegetation life stages control the impact of flood sequencing on braided river morphodynamics (2021)
Journal Article
Fernandez, R. L., McLelland, S., Parsons, D. R., & Bodewes, B. (2021). Riparian vegetation life stages control the impact of flood sequencing on braided river morphodynamics. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 46(11), 2315-2329. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5177

With riverine flooding set to be more frequent in many parts of the world as a result of climate change, the interactions between fluvial morphodynamics and riparian vegetation may depend in part on the sequence of flood events. This paper describes... Read More about Riparian vegetation life stages control the impact of flood sequencing on braided river morphodynamics.

Ocean Acidification Amplifies the Olfactory Response to 2-Phenylethylamine: Altered Cue Reception as a Mechanistic Pathway? (2021)
Journal Article
Hardege, J. D., Schirrmacher, P., Roggatz, C. C., & Benoit, D. M. (in press). Ocean Acidification Amplifies the Olfactory Response to 2-Phenylethylamine: Altered Cue Reception as a Mechanistic Pathway?. Journal of Chemical Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-021-01276-9

With carbon dioxide (CO2) levels rising dramatically, climate change threatens marine environments. Due to increasing CO2 concentrations in the ocean, pH levels are expected to drop by 0.4 units by the end of the century. There is an urgent need to u...
