Environmental cues associated with the adult habitat induce metamorphosis in many marine invertebrate larvae and thus settlement in a place appropriate for completing their life cycle. Ucides cordatus is a semi-terrestrial crab that exemplifies organ...

A nutrient-manipulation mesocosm study was conducted in Norwegian coastal waters to determine the effect
on a nitrogen-limited microbial food web of changes in the relative concentrations of dissolved organic and
inorganic nitrogen (N). Four replic... Read More about The influence of the balance of inorganic and organic nitrogen on the trophic dynamics of microbial food webs..

Apicomplexan parasites of the genus Eimeria are the major causative agent of avian coccidiosis, leading to high economic losses in the poultry industry. Recent results show that Eimeria tenella harbours an apicoplast organelle, and that a key biosynt...

Plaice(Pleuronectes platessa L.) nursery habitat on the Forth estuary and the Firth of Forth (2007)
Thesis
Augley, J. J. Plaice(Pleuronectes platessa L.) nursery habitat on the Forth estuary and the Firth of Forth. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6082

The nursery function of the Forth estuary and Firth of Forth for juvenile plaice was investigated using several methods. Growth rates of juvenile plaice in the estuary were compared with growth rates of juvenile plaice in the Firth of Forth. Growth w...

Stable isotope records from otoliths as tracers of fish migration in a mangrove system. (2007)
Journal Article
Huxham, M., Kimani, E., Newton, J., & Augley, J. J. (2007). Stable isotope records from otoliths as tracers of fish migration in a mangrove system. Journal of Fish Biology, 70, 1554-1567. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8649.2007.01443.x

The ratios of stable isotopes 18O:16O and 13C:12C were measured in otolith carbon taken from nine species of fishes caught within mangroves and on the reef at Gazi Bay, Kenya. Before analysis, otoliths were divided into `larval'`post-larval' and `adu... Read More about Stable isotope records from otoliths as tracers of fish migration in a mangrove system..

Anaerobic biodegradation of linear alkylbenzene: isomeric ratio as a monitoring tool (2007)

Molecular and Cellular Biology, 27(9), 3542-3555. https://doi.org/10.1128/mcb.01595-06

Genetic and biochemical studies have shown that Ser20 phosphorylation in the transactivation domain of p53 mediates p300-catalyzed DNA-dependent p53 acetylation and B-cell tumor suppression. However, the protein kinases that mediate this modification...
