The early development of serotonergic raphe-spinal interneurons in two related amphibians : 'Xenopus laevis' and 'Rana temporaria'
(University of St Andrews, 1992) - Thesis1) A method has been devised to enable visualisation of 5HT immunoreactive neurons in the CNS of embryonic amphibians in wholemount. The technique relies upon a rather long incubation in primary antiserum to allow thorough ... -
Automated identification and network analyses in 'Acacia' pollination ecology
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ThesisAcacia trees are an important source of pollen and nectar to a wide range of savannah insects. Identifying Acacia-visiting insects and the herb pollens they also carry is essential for pollination studies but problematic ... -
The influence of social structure on vocal signatures in group-living resident killer whales (Orcinus orca)
