Cellular and molecular studies of postembryonic muscle fibre recruitment in zebrafish (Danio rerio L.)
(University of St Andrews, 2010-06-23) - Thesis,
Cellular and molecular mechanisms of postembryonic muscle fibre recruitment were investigated in zebrafish (Danio rerio L.), a standard animal model for developmental and genetic studies.
Distinct cellular mechanisms of ...
Changes in gene expression, lipid class and fatty acid composition associated with diapause in the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus from Loch Etive, Scotland.
(University of St Andrews, 2009-11-30) - Thesis,
Zooplankton are the major primary consumers in pelagic ecosystems, providing the principal pathway for energy transfer from primary production to higher trophic levels. The marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus is an important ...
Development of microarray techniques for the study of gene expression in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) during silvering and migration to seawater
(University of St Andrews, 2008-06-27) - Thesis,
The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, has a complex life-cycle involving
migrations between the Sargasso Sea and the river systems of Europe and
North Africa. The requirement to move across large salinity gradients
presents ...
Muscle growth and flesh quality of farmed Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) in relation to season of harvest
(University of St Andrews, 2008) - Thesis,
In the present study, muscle growth and flesh quality have been investigated from both commercially farmed Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) (Aga marine AS, Norway)and halibut obtained from small-scale trials ...
Regeneration and calcification in the Spirobranchus lamarcki operculum: development and comparative genetics of a novel appendage
(University of St Andrews, 2015-11-30) - Thesis,
Regeneration, the replacement of lost or damaged body parts, and biomineralisation, the biologically controlled formation of minerals, are important and widespread abilities in the animal kingdom. Both phenomena have a ...
A study of the behaviour and interactions of the novel FERM protein Willin
(University of St Andrews, 2008) - Thesis,
Willin is a novel member of the Four-point-one Ezrin Radixin Moesin
(FERM) protein superfamily, containing an N-terminal FERM domain most like the
Ezrin-Radixin-Moesin (ERM) family but also the closely related protein ...
Willin as a novel 4.1 ezrin radixin moesin (FERM) domain protein in the mammalian hippo signalling pathway
(University of St Andrews, 2011-11-30) - Thesis,
The Salvador/Warts/Hippo (Hippo) pathway defines a novel signalling cascade regulating cell contact inhibition, organ size control, cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis and cancer development in mammals. The Hippo pathway ...
Evolutionary genetics and genomics of the female side of sexual interactions in Drosophila
(University of St Andrews, 2012-11-30) - Thesis,
Sexual interactions play an important role in generating sexual selection and antagonistic co-evolution. These forces can shape differences between the sexes, but also have the potential to generate population divergence ...
