Predicting the impacts of climate change on grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) : implications for UK marine management
(2024-12-03) - ThesisClimate change impacts are particularly complex for animals at the interface between the marine and terrestrial environments, such as grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) which use these environments for survival and reproduction. ... -
Killer whale predation of seals in the inshore waters of Shetland : investigating the ecological drivers and consequences of an apex predator-prey interaction
(2024-12-03) - ThesisThe impact of predation has important consequences for individual fitness and the potential to culminate in population level effects. Understanding the causes and consequences of predator-prey interactions is therefore a ... -
Dissecting the roles of aminopeptidases and aminoacyl tRNA-protein transferases in the N-End rule of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(2024-12-03) - ThesisBacteria live in dynamic environments. Tight control of proteolysis ensures adaptability, allowing cells to control levels of short-lived or damaged proteins, remodel multisubunit complexes, and propagate signals. Proteins ... -
Using nanoplasmonic metasurfaces to construct miniaturised marine ecosystem sensors
(2024-12-03) - ThesisThis thesis investigates the potential for nanoplasmonic sensing technology to improve upon current marine environmental sensors. The significant advantage of this technology lies in its compact size and versatility. To ... -
Searching for regulators of replicative helicase assembly in African trypanosomes
(2020-07-29) - ThesisAppropriate timing of DNA replication is fundamental for maintaining the stability of the genome. One of the key steps in regulating this timing in eukaryotes is the assembly of the replicative helicase, a multi-protein ...
