Journal Article
Tummers, J., Hudson, S., & Lucas, M. (2016). Evaluating the effectiveness of restoring longitudinal connectivity for stream fish communities: towards a more holistic approach. Science of the Total Environment, 569-570, 850-860. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.06.207

A more holistic approach towards testing longitudinal connectivity restoration is needed in order to establish that intended ecological functions of such restoration are achieved. We illustrate the use of a multi-method scheme to evaluate the effecti...

Sand smelt ability to cope and recover from CO2-induced ocean acidification stress during early stages assessed through development and biochemical responses (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cátia, S., Marco, L., Ana, L., Mareen, P., Manuel, S., Alexandre, M., Ana, F., Emanuel, G., & Sara, N. Sand smelt ability to cope and recover from CO2-induced ocean acidification stress during early stages assessed through development and biochemical responses

Marine biodiversity is being threatened by the increased uptake of atmospheric CO2, known as ocean acidification. Although the majority of literature points to negative and abnormal effects to future acidification scenarios in short term exposures, m...

Does size matter? A test of size-specific mortality in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts tagged with acoustic transmitters (2016)
Journal Article
Newton, M., Barry, J., Dodd, J., Lucas, M., Boylan, P., & Adams, C. (2016). Does size matter? A test of size-specific mortality in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts tagged with acoustic transmitters. Journal of Fish Biology, 89(3), 1641-1650. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.13066

Mortality rates of wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts implanted with acoustic transmitters were assessed to determine if mortality was size dependent. The routinely accepted, but widely debated, ‘2% transmitter mass: body mass’ rule in bioteleme... Read More about Does size matter?

Histamine in diabetes: is it time to reconsider? (2016)
Journal Article

The first studies of histamine and diabetes date back to the 1950s. Since that time the involvement of histamine in diabetes was related to its well known vasoactive properties and permeability leakage effects. In particular, the first evidence for a...

GnRH immunization alters the expression and distribution of protein disulfide isomerases in the epididymis (2016)
Journal Article

Hypogonadism is defined as the inadequate gonadal production of testosterone. Low serum testosterone leads to infertility by impairing spermatogenesis and reducing sperm count, however, the impact of hypogonadism in epididymal sperm maturation is poo...

Pre-training in a radial arm maze abolished anxiety and impaired habituation in C57BL6/J mice treated with dizocilpine (2016)

Familiarity can imply a reduction of fear and anxiety, which may render learning and memory performance insensitive to NMDA receptor antagonism. Our previous study indicates that MK-801 (dizocilpine), NMDA antagonist, increased anxiety and prevented...

Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that regulate the transport of water and small molecules in and out of the cell. In eye lens tissue, circulation of water, ions and metabolites is ensured by a microcirculation system in which aquaporin-0 (AQ...
