Effects of ocean acidification relevant pH on foraging behaviour and response by the hermit crab, Pagurus bernhardus (2020)
Thesis
Cook, E.-M. E. Effects of ocean acidification relevant pH on foraging behaviour and response by the hermit crab, Pagurus bernhardus. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223339

The current rise of atmospheric CO2 has led to an increased rate of ocean acidification (OA), a process that results in a decrease in oceanic pH. Forecasts predict the rate of OA to further increase, the largest to be seen in the past 300 million yea...

The effects of plastic related phthalates (DEHP) upon ragworm, Hediste diversicolor (2018)
Thesis
Alnemari, A. M. The effects of plastic related phthalates (DEHP) upon ragworm, Hediste diversicolor. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224558

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.

Molecular level effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii (2015)
Thesis
Wäge, J. Molecular level effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221415

Global changes lead to a measurable reduction of ocean pH. These rapid water chemistry changes are expected to have negative effects on ecosystems and keystone sensitive species. It is predicted that many different physiological processes will be alt... Read More about Molecular level effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii.

Ocean acidification and its effects upon fitness in nereidid polychaetes (2013)
Thesis
Davidson, L. Ocean acidification and its effects upon fitness in nereidid polychaetes. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215223

In recent years there has been increasing focus on predicting the potential effects of greenhouse gas driven global warming; this has proven to be a major challenge for science. In the last decade, there has been a major shift in research with growin... Read More about Ocean acidification and its effects upon fitness in nereidid polychaetes.

New players and new interactions within the natriuretic peptide system : mechanisms and pathophysiological consequences (2012)
Thesis
Zhu, X. New players and new interactions within the natriuretic peptide system : mechanisms and pathophysiological consequences. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218846

The natriuretic peptide system plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cardiorenal homeostasis as well as in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. In this thesis, the biological effects of the newly designed natriuretic peptide (NP) ACNP and...

Mate choice in the Polychaete nereis acuminata : the role of aggression and parental experience (2010)
Thesis
Storey, E. J. Mate choice in the Polychaete nereis acuminata : the role of aggression and parental experience. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209788

Nereis acuminata is a polychaete species with a unique life cycle. A male and female form a monogamous pair bond, the female lays eggs and dies. The male then fertilises the egg and undertakes sole parental care until the eggs hatch and larvae leave...

Comparative chemical ecology, behaviour, and evolutionary genetics of acanthodactlylus boskianus (Squamata: Lacertidae) : comparative chemical ecology, behaviour and evolution (2009)
Thesis
Khannoon, E. R. R. Comparative chemical ecology, behaviour, and evolutionary genetics of acanthodactlylus boskianus (Squamata: Lacertidae) : comparative chemical ecology, behaviour and evolution. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209283

Acanthodactylus boskianus is a common lizard species frequently occurring in different habitats throughout Egypt. Both males and females have well developed epidermal femoral glands. This species is territorial and males acquire dominance hierarchies...

Chemical communication in the European otter, Lutra lutra (2008)
Thesis
Davies, M. J. Chemical communication in the European otter, Lutra lutra. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209367

European otter (Lutra lutra) scent marks (spraint and anal sac secretion material) from captive and wild animals were analysed using solvent extraction and solid phase micro extraction (SPME). An ageing study (using SPME) mapped spraint chemical comp... Read More about Chemical communication in the European otter, Lutra lutra.

Toxic cyanobacteria, cyanotoxins and drinking water production in Ghana: implications to human health (2008)
Thesis
Addico, G. N. D. Toxic cyanobacteria, cyanotoxins and drinking water production in Ghana: implications to human health. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4213250

The management and control of cyanobacteria and their toxins in drinking water reservoirs and water supplies have engaged the attention of many scientists worldwide due to their negative effects on population health. The cyanotoxin, microcystin, the... Read More about Toxic cyanobacteria, cyanotoxins and drinking water production in Ghana: implications to human health.
