Biology
The School promotes an interdisciplinary approach to both applied and fundamental research problems and to postgraduate training. Research in the School is organised into three major interdisciplinary centres: the Scottish Oceans Institute (SOI), Biomedical Sciences Research Complex (BSRC) and Centre for Biological Diversity (CBD). Together these centres encompass the full spectrum of research in biological sciences, spanning investigations on the properties and behaviour of individual molecules to planetary environmental dynamics.

Sperm activation and spawning in Arenicola marina (L) (Annelida:Polychaeta)
(University of St Andrews, 1991) - ThesisThe spermatozoa of Arenicola marina are unlike those of most marine invertebrates, in that they become motile in the body cavity prior to spawning. This occurs in response to a Sperm Maturation Factor (SMF) which is released ... -
Sedimentological, ecological and hydrodynamic effects of a tube-building polychaete (Lanice conchilega Pallas)
(University of St Andrews, 1983) - ThesisA tidal channel habitat dominated numerically by the tube-building polychaete Lanice conchilega is described from Tentsmuir Beach in N.E. Fife, Scotland. This habitat was named the Lanice tidal channel sub-environment and ... -
Reproductive and genetic variation in 'Arenicola marina' (L.) and comparison with 'Arenicola defodiens' (Cadman & Nelson-Smith, 1993) (Annelida : Polychaeta)
(University of St Andrews, 1994) - ThesisPopulations of Arenicola marina from different localities have been reported to show variation in certain characteristics. There are morphological differences such as colour, size and annulation patterns, and there is also ... -
Some aspects of the neurobiology of Ophiuroids : with special reference to Ophiura texturata (L.) (Echinodermata, Ophiuroidea)
(University of St Andrews, 1983) - ThesisA study has been made of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system of Ophiura texturata, involving the use of light and electron microscopy and of extracellular and intracellular electrophysiological recording ... -
A neurophysiological and behavioural study on certain aspects of sensory perception in 'Ophiura ophiura' (L.) (Echinodermata, Ophiuroidea)
(University of St Andrews, 1986) - ThesisElectrophysiological recordings were made from the radial nerve cord of the brittlestar Ophiura ophiura in response to stimulation by certain environmental parameters. Extracellular suction electrodes attached to the ...
