Conflict between the invasive American mink Neovison vision, and native Eurasian otter Lutra lutra has been identified in several studies, however many questions remain surrounding factors contributing to possible co-existence. Furthermore, each spec... Read More about Diet and distribution of the Eurasian otter, Lutra lutra and American mink, Neovison vison on the River Hull.

The exposure of the general public to phthalates is widespread as well as quite variable. Many human consumer products consist of a range of phthalates as ingredients of plastic materials. These include building materials, clothing, household furnitu... Read More about The effects of plastic related phthalates (DEHP) upon ragworm, Hediste diversicolor.

The effect of animal personality on husbandry of Gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) (2017)
Thesis
Legard, M. J. (2017). The effect of animal personality on husbandry of Gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua). (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220841

In many taxa animals exhibit personality by differing consistently in behaviour across situations and over time in response to stimuli. The study of animal personality has become its own sub-discipline of behavioural ecology and has grown rapidly ove...

With a steadily increasing world population the demand for seafood has been growing rapidly over the past century. This has led to overfishing and decreasing catch rates in many seafood species. High fishing activity has endangered several aquatic sp... Read More about Sex, pheromone and aggression in Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) : for a better future of scampi.

The behavioural function of pheromones in crayfish (2008)
