Role of Serotonin in crayfish anxiety and anti-predatory behaviour (2025)
Thesis
Khan, A. (2025). Role of Serotonin in crayfish anxiety and anti-predatory behaviour. (Thesis). The University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5179467

Encountering threatening situations is a common occurrence in the living world. When exposed to danger for extended periods, behavioural response manifests as stress-induced sustained alertness, which is known as anxiety. It is essential to understan...

A Transferable Infochemical for Multiple Crustaceans and Mechanistic Assessment of its pH Dependency (2024)
Thesis
Schirrmacher, P. A Transferable Infochemical for Multiple Crustaceans and Mechanistic Assessment of its pH Dependency. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4617866

Many organisms rely on their sense of smell to explore and interact with their environment. Meeting another organism, infochemicals help them decide whether to eat it, flee, fight or mate with it. The infochemical 2-phenylethylamine (PEA) has previou... Read More about A Transferable Infochemical for Multiple Crustaceans and Mechanistic Assessment of its pH Dependency.

The physiological and behavioural responses of the shore crab Carcinus meanas (L) to near-future levels of ocean acidification. (2023)
Thesis
Monaghan, A. The physiological and behavioural responses of the shore crab Carcinus meanas (L) to near-future levels of ocean acidification. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4564060

Ocean acidification as a result of increased anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide is a widely documented threat to marine life as a whole. According to current predictions, ocean pH is set to continue its hereto unprecedented level of decrease throughout the...

Effects of multiple stressors on the stability of functional traits: examining individual variability in the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas, exposed to plastic odour and ocean acidification (2022)
Thesis
Howard, B. R. Effects of multiple stressors on the stability of functional traits: examining individual variability in the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas, exposed to plastic odour and ocean acidification. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4251453

The development of anthropogenic activities during recent centuries has led to an increase in environmental pollutants such as greenhouse gases causing atmospheric changes, resulting in elevated atmospheric heat retention, triggering global and ocean...

A Review Of The Combined Stress From PH And Microplastic Derived Odours On The Carcinus Maenas Olfactory Capacity (2022)
Thesis
Ohnstad, H. A Review Of The Combined Stress From PH And Microplastic Derived Odours On The Carcinus Maenas Olfactory Capacity. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4297845

In recent years, a large amount of research has been done on climate change, which predicts ocean acidification (OA) will end up causing a significant drop in the pH of the oceans by the end of the 21st century. Research carried out looking at pH red... Read More about A Review Of The Combined Stress From PH And Microplastic Derived Odours On The Carcinus Maenas Olfactory Capacity.

Identification of key chemical components responsible for attracting American lobster (Homarus americanus) to Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) bait (2020)
Thesis
Evans, T. (2020). Identification of key chemical components responsible for attracting American lobster (Homarus americanus) to Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) bait. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4922980

Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) is the principal bait used to capture American lobsters (Homarus americanus) in North America. The American lobster fishery is amongst the most lucrative fisheries in both the USA and Canada. However, there are emer...
