Freshwater and coastal migration patterns in the silver-stage eel Anguilla anguilla (2015)
Journal Article
Barry, J., Newton, M., Dodd, J. A., Lucas, M. C., Boylan, P., & Adams, C. E. (2016). Freshwater and coastal migration patterns in the silver-stage eel Anguilla anguilla. Journal of Fish Biology, 88(2), 676-689. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.12865

The unimpeded downstream movement patterns and migration success of small female and male Anguilla anguilla through a catchment in north‐west Europe were studied using an acoustic hydrophone array along the River Finn and into the Foyle Estuary in Ir...

Resource availability and life-history origin affect competitive behavior in territorial disputes (2015)
Journal Article
Van Leeuwen, T. E., Hughes, M. R., Dodd, J. A., Adams, C. E., & Metcalfe, N. B. (2016). Resource availability and life-history origin affect competitive behavior in territorial disputes. Behavioral Ecology, 27(2), 385-392. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arv163

Partial migration, in which some individuals of a population migrate and others remain sedentary, is a phenomenon that occurs across a wide range of taxa, but the factors that predispose particular individuals to one or the other strategy are usually...

Foraging specialisms influence space use and movement patterns of the European eel Anguilla anguilla (2015)
Journal Article
Barry, J., Newton, M., Dodd, J. A., Hooker, O. E., Boylan, P., Lucas, M. C., & Adams, C. E. (2016). Foraging specialisms influence space use and movement patterns of the European eel Anguilla anguilla. Hydrobiologia, 766(1), 333-348. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-015-2466-z

A fixed receiver array was used to examine the movement patterns and space use of the European eel Anguilla anguilla in an oligotrophic Irish lake between July and September. We assessed home range size, temporal change in spatial behaviour and activ... Read More about Foraging specialisms influence space use and movement patterns of the European eel Anguilla anguilla.

Local scale, coastal currents influence recruitment to freshwater populations in the European eel Anguilla anguilla: a case study from the Isle of Man (2015)
Journal Article
Barry, J., Mcharg, K., Dodd, J. A., & Adams, C. E. (2015). Local scale, coastal currents influence recruitment to freshwater populations in the European eel Anguilla anguilla: a case study from the Isle of Man. Journal of Fish Biology, 86(6), 1873-1880. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.12697

This study examines juvenile Anguilla anguilla (< 30 cm) abundance in five study catchments on the Isle of Man. Preliminary results suggest that juvenile abundance is negatively correlated with increasing coastal current speed at river mouth entry (P...
