Welcome to Edinburgh Napier Research Repository

The ‘Research Repository’ is the open access institutional repository of Edinburgh Napier University. It contains examples of research outputs produced by staff and research students, as well as related information about the university's funded projects and staff research interests.

Whenever possible, refereed documents accepted for publication, or finished artistic compositions presented in public, will be made available here in full digital format, and hyperlinks to standard published versions will be provided. Any questions about submissions to the repository or problems with access to any of its content should be sent to the Repository Team at repository@napier.ac.uk

Effects of environmental conditions on mate fidelity in a socially monogamous seabird (2025)
Journal Article
Lewis, S., Butler, A., Wanless, S., Newell, M. A., Harris, M. P., Burthe, S. J., Gunn, C. M., Howells, R. J., & Daunt, F. (in press). Effects of environmental conditions on mate fidelity in a socially monogamous seabird. Animal Behaviour,

In iteroparous, socially monogamous species, individuals vary in the extent of mate fidelity across breeding attempts, often with important fitness consequences. Numerous studies have demonstrated intrinsic drivers of mate fidelity, notably previous... Read More about Effects of environmental conditions on mate fidelity in a socially monogamous seabird.

360 VSP: Issues and limitations of 360 Virtual Sound Productions for mobile devices (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Di Donato, B., Rieger, M., & McGregor, I. (2025, July). 360 VSP: Issues and limitations of 360 Virtual Sound Productions for mobile devices. Presented at Audio Mostly 2025, Coimbra, Portugal

This paper explores challenges in designing sound pipelines for cross-platform 360-degree video. Virtual Production companies face issues ensuring spatial audio compatibility across devices. Collaborating with a sound expert, we developed a prototype... Read More about 360 VSP: Issues and limitations of 360 Virtual Sound Productions for mobile devices.
