    • The evolution and regulation of the chordate ParaHox cluster 

      Garstang, Myles Grant (University of St Andrews, 2016-06-22) - Thesis
      The ParaHox cluster is the evolutionary sister of the Hox cluster. Like the Hox cluster, the ParaHox cluster is subject to complex regulatory phenomena such as collinearity. Despite the breakup of the ParaHox cluster within ...

    • Inter- and intra-year variation in foraging areas of breeding kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) 

      Robertson, G. S.; Bolton, M.; Grecian, W. J.; Monaghan, P. (2014-09) - Journal article
      While seabird conservation efforts have largely focused on protection from threats at the colony (e.g. reducing disturbance and predation), attention is increasingly being given to implementing protection measures for ...

    • Contrasting migratory responses of two closely-related seabirds to long-term climate change 

      Grecian, W. James; Taylor, Graeme A.; Loh, Graeme; McGill, Rona A. R.; Miskelly, Colin M.; Phillips, Richard A.; Thompson, David R.; Furness, Robert W. (2016-11-09) - Journal article
      Many marine predators migrate between breeding and non-breeding areas to target resources that are seasonal but spatio-temporally predictable, and so are vulnerable to climate-induced changes in prey phenology and abundance. ...

    • Comparative estuarine dynamics : trophic linkages and ecosystem function 

      Kenworthy, Joseph (University of St Andrews, 2016-02-01) - Thesis
      Estuarine systems are of crucial importance to the provision of goods and services on a global scale. High human population densities in coastal systems have caused an increasing input of pollutants, of which nutrient ...

    • Occurrence, distribution and abundance of cetaceans in Onslow Bay, North Carolina, USA 

      Read, Andrew, J.; Barco, S.; Bell, J.; Borchers, David Louis; Burt, M Louise; Cummings, E.W.; Dunn, J.; Fougeres, J.; Hazen, L.; Williams-Hodge, L.E.; Laura, A-M.; McAlarney, R.J.; Nilsson, P.; Pabst, D.A.; Paxton, Charles G. M.; Schneider, S.Z.; Urian, Kim; Waples, D.M.; McLellan, W.A. (2014) - Journal article
      In this paper the occurrence, distribution and abundance of cetaceans in offshore waters of Onslow Bay, North Carolina, USA is described. Between June 2007 and June 2010 monthly aerial and shipboard line-transect surveys ...
