Chemical dispersant enhances microbial exopolymer (EPS) production and formation of marine oil/dispersant snow in surface waters of the subarctic northeast Atlantic
(2019-03-20) - Journal articleA notable feature of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the unprecedented formation of marine oil snow (MOS) that was observed in large quantities floating on the sea surface and that subsequently sedimented to the seafloor. ... -
Northern bottlenose whales in a pristine environment respond strongly to close and distant navy sonar signals
(2019-03-20) - Journal articleImpact assessments for sonar operations typically use received sound levels to predict behavioural disturbance in marine mammals. However, there are indications that cetaceans may learn to associate exposures from distant ... -
Patterns of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in the wide elevation range of the alpine plant Arabis alpina
(2018-09) - Journal article1. Local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity are two important characteristics of alpine plants to overcome the threats caused by global changes. Among alpine species, Arabis alpina is characterised by an unusually wide ... -
Quantitative analysis of hydroxyapatite-binding plasma proteins in genotyped individuals with late-stage age-related macular degeneration
(2018-07) - Journal articleAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is associated with the formation of sub-retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) deposits that block circulatory exchange with the retina. The factors that contribute to deposit formation are ... -
The evolutionary stability of attenuators that mask information about animals that social partners can exploit
(2018-03-23) - Journal articleSignals and cues are fundamental to social interactions. A well-established concept in the study of animal communication is an amplifier, defined as a trait that does not add extra information to that already present in ...
