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 Pure, the University's research information system. For help see our guide: How to deposit in Pure or contact the Open Access team at openaccess@st-andrews.ac.uk.

    Davidson, A.L.; Webb, Paul B.; Parker, S.F.; Lennon, D. (2021-03-17) - Journal article
    A dual sodium and sulfur promoted haematite, representative of a candidate Fischer-Tropsch to olefins (FTO) catalyst, is prepared and contrasted with the performance of an unpromoted hematite sample in the ambient pressure ...

  • Automated detection of Hainan gibbon calls for passive acoustic monitoring 

    Dufourq, Emmanuel; Durbach, Ian; Hansford, James P.; Hoepfner, Amanda; Ma, Heidi; Bryant, Jessica V.; Stender, Christina S.; Li, Wenyong; Liu, Zhiwei; Chen, Qing; Zhou, Zhaoli; Turvey, Samuel T. (2021-04-08) - Journal article
    Extracting species calls from passive acoustic recordings is a common preliminary step to ecological analysis. For many species, particularly those occupying noisy, acoustically variable habitats, the call extraction process ...

  • Drop when the stakes are high : adaptive, flexible use of dropping behaviour by aphids 

    Humphreys, Rosalind K.; Ruxton, Graeme D.; Karley, Alison J. (2021-03-30) - Journal article
    For herbivorous insects, dropping from the host plant is a commonly-observed antipredator defence. The use of dropping compared to other behaviours and its timing in relation to contact with a predator was explored in both ...
