Welcome to the St Andrews Research Repository

This is the official institutional research repository for the University of St Andrews. The repository contains electronic theses and research publications including articles, conference proceedings, working papers and some research monographs. It also contains material and publications affiliated to the University and arising from specific projects. Full text content is provided for all research publications in the repository, and wherever possible (following embargoes) for electronic theses.

The University requires submission of an electronic version of theses. For help with electronic thesis deposit see Library webpages on how to submit your electronic copy or contact Digital-Repository@st-andrews.ac.uk.

The full text of research papers can be submitted to the repository via How to deposit in Pure or contact the Open Access team at openaccess@st-andrews.ac.uk.

    The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment, conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed management decisions. Here we survey the main ...

  • Novel pollen analogue technique shows bumblebees display low floral constancy and prefer sites with high floral diversity 

    Martinez-Bauer, Angelica Elizabeth; Chadwick, Fergus J; Westmoreland, Aaron J; Lander, Tonya A (2021-11) - Journal article
    Context There have been dramatic global declines in pollinating insects. A common land management intervention to support wild pollinators is to plant non-crop flowering plants (‘pollinator planting’). However, there are ...

  • COVID-19-exploring the implications of long-term condition type and extent of multimorbidity on years of life lost : a modelling study 

    Hanlon, Peter; Chadwick, Fergus; Shah, Anoop; Wood, Rachael; Minton, Jon; McCartney, Gerry; Fischbacher, Colin; Mair, Frances S; Husmeier, Dirk; Matthiopoulos, Jason; McAllister, David A. (2021-01-01) - Journal article
    Background: COVID-19 is responsible for increasing deaths globally. As most people dying with COVID-19 are older with underlying long-term conditions (LTCs), some speculate that YLL are low. We aim to estimate YLL attributable ...

  • The genome sequence of the northern bat, Eptesicus nilssonii (Keyserling & Blasius, 1839) 

    van der Kooij, Jeroen; Vernes, Sonja; Teeling, Emma; Mai, Meike; Johannessen, Lars Erik; Gundersen, Gro (2023-08-22) - Journal article
    We present a genome assembly from an individual Eptesicus nilssonii (the northern bat; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Vespertilionidae), derived from the placental tissue of a pregnancy that resulted a male pup. The genome ...

  • The genome sequence of the Soprano Pipistrelle, Pipistrellus pygmaeus (Leach, 1825) 

    Ruedi, Manuel; Vernes, Sonja; Teeling, Emma; Mai, Meike (2023-08-21) - Journal article
    We present a genome assembly from an individual male Pipistrellus pygmaeus (the Soprano Pipistrelle; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Vespertilionidae). The genome sequence is 1,895.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly ...
