The Impact of Multiple Anthropogenic Stressors on the Colour Change and Antipredator Behaviours of the Common Shore Crab, Carcinus maenas
(University of Exeter Biological Sciences, 21 February 2022)The marine environment is increasingly subject to environmental change driven by anthropogenic stressors, which may alter species’ key behaviours and necessitate rapid behavioural and phenotypic plasticity. Such stressors ... -
Utilising the co-analysis of EDM and GPS data in modelling surface deformation at the Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat
(University of Exeter College of Engineering, Mathematics & Physical Sciences, 21 February 2022)Greater understanding of volcanoes through monitoring and modelling of magmatic processes can help protect lives, communities, and economies at risk from volcanic activity. Ground deformation offers vital insight into the ... -
The Ribosome and Skeletal Muscle Anabolism
(University of Exeter Sport and Health Sciences, 28 February 2022)Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is primarily determined by consistent increases in muscle protein synthesis in response to protein and resistance exercise. Any alterations in resistance training, such as load, and protein, ... -
How Does Plant Diversity Affect the Resilience of Forest Function to Disturbance in the Amazon Basin?
(University of Exeter Geography, 21 February 2022)Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) struggle to reproduce the spatial gradients of above-ground biomass (AGB) in Amazonia and the observed decline in the Amazonian carbon sink in recent years, making predictions for ... -
Calcium carbonate production by teleost fish: an investigation into the effects of temperature and dietary calcium intake
(University of Exeter Biological Sciences, 24 January 2022)The marine environment is hyperosmotic to the tissues of marine teleost fish, which results in passive water loss and ion gain throughout their lifetime. In order to avoid dehydration, marine teleosts drink seawater. ...
