    • Instability in internal solitary waves with trapped cores 

      Carr, Magda; King, Stuart Edward; Dritschel, David Gerard (2012-01) - Journal article
      A numerical method that employs a combination of contour advection and pseudo-spectral techniques is used to investigate instability in internal solitary waves with trapped cores. A three-layer configuration for the ...

    • Tunicates push the limits of animal evo-devo 

      Ferrier, David Ellard Keith (2011-01-20) - Journal item
      The phylum to which humans belong, Chordata, takes its name from one of the major shared derived features of the group, the notochord. All chordates have a notochord, at least during embryogenesis, and there is little doubt ...

    • The influence of mid-ocean ridges on euphausiid and pelagic ecology 

      Letessier, Tom Bech (University of St Andrews, 2012-06-19) - Thesis
      Chapters 1 & 2. Euphausiids comprise a major component of ecosystems in the pelagic realm, the world’s largest habitat, but basin scale drivers of euphausiids diversity and abundance are poorly understood. Mid-Ocean ...

    • Examining the response of top marine predators to ecological change using stable isotope proxies 

      Hanson, Nora Nell (University of St Andrews, 2012-11-30) - Thesis
      Monitoring the response of upper trophic level animals to ecological change is important to understanding the state and stability of ecosystems. Marine predators integrate information over large geographical scales and ...

    • Statistical developments for understanding anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems 

      Marshall, Laura (University of St Andrews, 2012-06-20) - Thesis
      Over the past decades technological developments have both changed and increased human influence on the marine environment. We now have greater potential than ever before to introduce disturbance and deplete marine ...
