The role of colour patterns in a social context: causes and consequences of interspecific variation in anemonefishes
There is remarkable diversity in colour patterns across animal taxa, however, our understanding of the evolution of these colour patterns remains unsolved. Research has focused on...
Delivering Ecoacoustic Net Gain in the UK
Ecoacoustics is the use of sound to understand more about the nature of ecosystems and how they function. The scientific field and practical applications are rapidly developing as...
Understanding and modelling surface-subsurface flow interactions in urban areas during floods
Management of flood risk in urban areas has become a key issue for national governments and local authorities due to its political and economic implications and increasing urgency...
Investigating the impact of glacial meltwater plumes in Greenland's Fjords
Global climate change will disproportionately affect the polar regions.Warmer atmospheric and ocean temperatures will increase ice melt from polar regions, which will contribute to...
Soil carbon and biodiversity response to Scottish Highlands rewilding
Rewilding is increasingly considered as a powerful tool to limit both the ongoing declines in biodiversity and mitigate climate change, through its potential to restore biodiverse...
Restored or reinvented?Assessing the success of peatland restoration pilot projects in the Northumberland National Parks using environmental DNA(eDNA)
Peatlands are a powerful tool for carbon capture as a mitigation against global emissions, combatting climate change and delivering on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. However...
Waves, levees and impact pressures in snow avalanches
Snow avalanches are a major natural hazard in mountainous regions and pose a significant risk affecting people and infrastructure in many countries throughout the world. Avalanches...
Post-weaning dispersal behaviour of male fallow deer fawns: Investigation the role of behaviour, growth and stress
Male and female fallow deer inhabit different territories, except for the October rut where males move to the female range.From birth in June fawns go through several life-critical...
Testing the impact of the 8.2 ka BP abrupt climatic event on Mesolithic societies
Rising global temperatures across the 20th and 21st centuries has caused the dramatic loss of ice volume.Ocean-Cryosphere interactions are considered to have been direct forcing fa...
Pheromones, Pathogens and Pesticides: How do these interact to affect the health and productivity of social and solitary bees?
Honeybees, bumblebees and other bee species are facing a multitude of threats from disease, pesticide exposure and loss of habitat. These threats have resulted in alarming declines...
Sediment routing controls on CO2 mineralisation potential
Geological storage of CO2 has the potential to decarbonise much energy production and heavy industry. The most secure mechanism for permanent trapping of CO2 is mineralisation.Its...
Assessing the impacts of climate change on the physiology and safety of motorcyclists in Taiwan
In developing countries, the motorcycle is an essential vehicle in urban mobility, and its widespread use provides many with a means of social inclusion. Given its low acquisition...
Climate change impacts on Antarctic marine top predators
The project will be building habitat models from two sets of tracking data from two colonies of Antarctic fur seals, one in South Georgia and one on the Antarctic peninsula.It will...
Environmental distribution, aquacultural consequences and development of nature-based water treatment technologies for mass pharmaceutical interventio
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) have poor removal rates for pharmaceuticals resulting in potential contamination of drinking water. The long-term effects of exposure and consequ...

Did Earthworms change the world?
Studies on modern-day soils demonstrate the importance of earthworms. These "ecosystem engineers" alter the mechanical and chemical properties of the soil. Their...
Optimising marine image capture and analysis from autonomous underwater vehicles (MICA)
salmon farming, in Scotland, currently encompasses >230 sites, from Loch Fyne in the south to Shetland in the North. The industry seeks to expand, doubling economic value by...
Atmospheric measurements and modelling to support the Montreal Protocol and international climate agreements
In a series of four papers published in Nature between 2018 and 2021 [e.g., 1,2], our team used atmospheric data to present evidence of a major violation of the Montreal Protocol,...
Social behaviour, health and ageing in wild vertebrate populations
Sociality is widely recognised as an important aspect of health in humans and throughout the animal kingdom and plays a fundamental role in ecological and evolutionary processes (W...
