Assortative mating between two distinct micro-allopatric populations of Littorina saxatilis (Olivi) on the northeast coast of England (1998)
Journal Article
Hull, S. L. (1998). Assortative mating between two distinct micro-allopatric populations of Littorina saxatilis (Olivi) on the northeast coast of England. Hydrobiologia, 378(1/3), 79-88. https://doi.org/10.1023/a%3A1003237521419

Size assortative mating is a common invertebrate mating pattern and is usually accompanied by male and female sexual selection, and these three behaviours can contribute to reproductive isolation. Two distinct populations of the marine prosobranch Li...

Current work at Old Peak (Ravenscar) on the northeast coast of England indicates that boulder-dwelling Lutonna saxatilis (Olvi) comprise at least two distinct forms, inhabiting high- and mid-shore boulders Using multivariate morphometrics we show tha...

Littorina neglecta Bean: ecotype or species? (1995)
Journal Article

The taxonomic status of the littoral prosobranch Littorina neglecta has been investigated using animals from the northeast coast of England. Rough periwinkles were collected from barnacle-covered rock platforms near the northern (Ness Point) and sout... Read More about Littorina neglecta Bean: ecotype or species?.

Exposure of benthic invertebrates to sediment vibration: From laboratory experiments to outdoor simulated pile-driving
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Harding, H. R., Voellmy, I., Simpson, S. D., Radford, A. N., Breithaupt, T., Elliott, M., Roberts, L., Simpson, S., Bruintjes, R., Harding, H., Radford, A., & Voellmy, I. K. Exposure of benthic invertebrates to sediment vibration: From laboratory experiments to outdoor simulated pile-driving

Activities directly interacting with the seabed, such as pile-driving, can produce vibrations that have the potential to impact benthic invertebrates within their vicinity. This stimuli may interfere with crucial behaviors such as foraging and predat...

The Contribution of Major Historical Orefields to Coastal Trace Metal(loid) Fluxes in North-East England
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Riley, A. L., Onnis, P., Gandy, C. J., Kanu, C. V., Umeobika, C. V., Cameron, J., Burke, I. T., Hudson-Edwards, K. A., Jarvis, A. P., & Mayes, W. M. (2023, July). The Contribution of Major Historical Orefields to Coastal Trace Metal(loid) Fluxes in North-East England. Presented at IMWA 2023 – ”Y Dyfodol | The Future”, Newport, Wales

Mine waters and tailings are key inputs to riverine metal(loid) transport to the coast. However, coastal areas also face local contaminant pressures, e.g. active industries and abandoned landfill sites. Annual riverine metal(loid) flux data were asse...

The effects of chemical pollution on the bioturbation potential of estuarine intertidal mudflats
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mazik, K., & Elliott, M. The effects of chemical pollution on the bioturbation potential of estuarine intertidal mudflats

Bioturbation by benthic infauna has important implications for the fate of contaminants as well as for changes to the sediment structure, chemistry and transport characteristics. There is an extensive literature dealing with the influence of sediment... Read More about The effects of chemical pollution on the bioturbation potential of estuarine intertidal mudflats.
