Longitudinal Induction to support transformative learning for international students undertaking a two-year MSc (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Campbell-Casey, S., & MacCallum, J. (2025, July). Longitudinal Induction to support transformative learning for international students undertaking a two-year MSc. Presented at Improving University Teaching Conference, University of Westminster, London

We have adapted an MSc programme for international students, to create a two-stage course, allowing for extended induction to key skills for success at level 11. The first year is at undergraduate level and is supported by academic support services a...

Intermediate insights: tracing trematodes infecting amphibians via their first intermediate snail hosts (2025)
Journal Article
Hüsken, A., Schwelm, J., Rückert, S., & Sures, B. (2025). Intermediate insights: tracing trematodes infecting amphibians via their first intermediate snail hosts. Parasites & vectors, 18(1), Article 285. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-025-06920-x

Background: Amphibians are a prime example of the global biodiversity crisis, as they represent the most threatened group of vertebrates. Yet, amphibian macroparasites remain one of the most poorly described groups of parasites, with the majority of...

Multicomponent motion is perceptually organised along distinct dimensions revealed by Distance Scaling and Forced Choice paradigms (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Meso, A. I., Vacher, J., Gekas, N., Mamassian, P., & Masson, G. S. (2025, May). Multicomponent motion is perceptually organised along distinct dimensions revealed by Distance Scaling and Forced Choice paradigms. Presented at Vision Sciences Society Annual Meeting, St. Pete Beach, Florida, USA

Human participants presented with composite stimuli containing two motion vectors, e.g. with upwards and rightwards directions, or very fast and very slow speeds, typically report transparent motion. The transition from coherent to transparent relies...

Policing Together: a framework for innovating volunteer policing through community-driven partnerships (2025)
Journal Article
Cheah, P. K., Britton, I., Callender, M., Wolf, R., Frayling, A., Pepper, M., & Wooff, A. (2025). Policing Together: a framework for innovating volunteer policing through community-driven partnerships. Policing, 19, https://doi.org/10.1093/police/paaf022

Police agencies face growing pressure from limited resources and increasingly complex crime patterns. Innovation in public safety is no longer optional, it is imperative. Volunteer policing has long played a vital role in supporting law enforcement....

The effects of contextual bias on face recognition decisions (2025)
Journal Article
Curley, L., Breese, E., Munro, J., Havard, C., Skelton, F., & Pike, G. (in press). The effects of contextual bias on face recognition decisions. Journal of Forensic Sciences,

Contemporary research has demonstrated the effects of bias on, even expert, forensic decision making. The paper aimed to test if forensically relevant face recognition decisions could be influenced by biasing information. A 3 (Bias (within-subjects):...

K., Lahive, E., Morel, E., Simeone, F. C., Delpivo, C., Clavaguera, S., Seddon, R., Salmatonidis, A., …Vázquez-Campos, S. (online). The SAbyNA platform: a guidance tool to support industry in the implementation of safe- and sustainable-by-design concepts for nanomaterials, processes and nano-enabled products. Environmental Science: Nano, https://doi.org/10.1039/d5en00312a

Simple, cost-effective and reliable methods are needed for pragmatic, flexible, safe and sustainable evaluations at early stages of product (chemical/material) development. This is especially true for nanoforms and nano-enabled products, for which gu...

Shifts in dietary composition are linked to increased clutch size, but not brood size, in a UK urban Eurasian Sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus population (2025)
Journal Article
Thornton, M., Wilson, D., Leitch, A., Roos, S., & White, P. (online). Shifts in dietary composition are linked to increased clutch size, but not brood size, in a UK urban Eurasian Sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus population. Bird Study, https://doi.org/10.1080/00063657.2025.2513542

Capsule: Over three decades, the garden bird community composition in Edinburgh has changed, probably in response to increased garden bird feeding, and this has increased prey biomass for Eurasian Sparrowhawks Accipiter nisus, coinciding with a signi...
