Impact of environmental change on primary production in model marine coastal ecosystems
(University of St Andrews, 2011) - ThesisCoastal ecosystems, including estuaries, provide a range of services to humans, mediated by the species within these ecosystems. Microphytobenthos (MPB) play a vital role in many key processes within estuarine ecosystems, ... -
The genetic basis of flesh quality traits in farmed Atlantic salmon
(University of St Andrews, 2011-11-30) - ThesisThe aim was to develop new methods for measuring texture of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) fillets and investigate the genetic basis of flesh quality traits. Firstly, a new tensile strength method was developed to ... -
Conservation ecology and phylogenetics of the Indus River dolphin (Platanista gangetica minor)
(University of St Andrews, 2012-06-20) - ThesisThe historical range of the Indus River dolphin has declined by 80% since the 19th century and has been fragmented into 17 river sections by construction of irrigation barrages. Dolphin sighting and interview surveys ... -
Evolution of signal multiplexing by 14-3-3-binding 2R-ohnologue protein families in the vertebrates
(2012-07) - Journal article14-3-3 proteins regulate cellular responses to stimuli by docking onto pairs of phosphorylated residues on target proteins. The present study shows that the human 14-3-3-binding phosphoproteome is highly enriched in ... -
The use of active sonar to study cetaceans
(University of St Andrews, 2012-06) - ThesisCetacean species face serious challenges worldwide due to the increasing noise pollution brought to their environment by human activities such as seismic exploration. Regulation of these activities is vaguely defined and ...
