Egg-release behaviour in Antarctic krill (2009)
Journal Article
Tarling, G. A., Cuzin-Roudy, J., Wootton, K., & Johnson, M. (2009). Egg-release behaviour in Antarctic krill. Polar Biology, 32(8), 1187-1194. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00300-009-0617-2

The process of egg release is a complex and crucial step in the life cycle of euphausiids, especially with regards mortality and recruitment success. We examined this process in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in terms of the functioning of the f... Read More about Egg-release behaviour in Antarctic krill.

Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus (2008)
Journal Article
Breithaupt, T., Johnson, M., & Katoh, E. (2008). Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus. Behaviour, 145(10), 1447-1464. https://doi.org/10.1163/156853908785765917

Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus, live on the bottom of the continental shelf where they construct and defend burrows. Little is known about their agonistic behaviour and potential mechanisms of dominance. This paper investigates fighting behavio...

Influence of individual state on swimming capacity and behaviour of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba (2008)
Journal Article
Johnson, M. L., & Tarling, G. A. (2008). Influence of individual state on swimming capacity and behaviour of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba. Marine ecology progress series, 366, 99-110. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps07533

Swarms of Antarctic krill are frequently biased towards certain body sizes, sexes, maturities and physiological states. However, the mechanisms causing such biases remain unclear, with some speculating on differential responses to chemical or visual...

Interactions between fangblennies (Plagiotremus rhinorhynchus) and their potential victims: fooling the model rather than the client? (2005)
Journal Article
Johnson, M. L., & Hull, S. L. (2006). Interactions between fangblennies (Plagiotremus rhinorhynchus) and their potential victims: fooling the model rather than the client?. Marine Biology, 148(4), 889-897. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00227-005-0118-y

Lepidophagous (scale-eating) blue-striped fangblennies (Plagiotremus rhinorhynchus Bleeker 1852) are often found sympatrically with the bluestreak cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus Valenciennes 1839). They have some resemblance to the juvenile L....

2000+ UK Shark tagging program: An angler led shark-tagging initiative in UK coastal waters (2005)
Journal Article
Drake, S. C., Drake, J. A., & Johnson, M. L. (2005). 2000+ UK Shark tagging program: An angler led shark-tagging initiative in UK coastal waters. Journal of Northwest Atlantic fishery science, 35, 233-238. https://doi.org/10.2960/j.v35.m483

The "2000+ UK Shark tagging program" was originally developed by anglers in order to better understand the distribution and behaviour of their target species. By September 2002, 220 volunteer taggers measured, weighed and tagged 2 374 sharks. Despite...
