Perceived And Actual Fighting Ability: Determinants Of Success By Decision, Knockout Or Submission In Human Combat Sports, Sarah M. Lane, Mark Briffa
Perceived And Actual Fighting Ability: Determinants Of Success By Decision, Knockout Or Submission In Human Combat Sports, Sarah M. Lane, Mark Briffa
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Animal contest theory assumes individuals to possess accurate information about their own fighting ability or resource-holding potential (RHP) and, under some models, that of their opponent. However, owing to the difficulty of disentangling perceived and actual RHP in animals, how accurately individuals are able to assess RHP remains relatively unknown. Furthermore, it is not just individuals within a fight that evaluate RHP. Third-party observers evaluate the fight performance of conspecifics in order to make behavioural decisions. In human combat sports, when fights remain unresolved at the end of the allotted time, bystanders take a more active role, with judges assigning …

Aim: Topographic complexity is widely accepted as a key driver of biodiversity, but at the patch-scale, complexity–biodiversity relationships may vary spatially and temporally according to the environmental stressors complexity mitigates, and the species richness and identity of potential colonists. Using a manipulative experiment, we assessed spatial variation in patch-scale effects of complexity on intertidal biodiversity. Location: 27 sites within 14 estuaries/bays distributed globally. Time period: 2015–2017. Major taxa studied: Functional groups of algae, sessile and mobile invertebrates. Methods: Concrete tiles of differing complexity (flat; 2.5-cm or 5-cm complex) were affixed at low–high intertidal elevation on coastal defence structures, and the …

Determination Of The Δ 2 H Values Of High Molecular Weight Lipids By High Temperature Gc Coupled To Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry, Sk Lengger, Y Weber, Kwr Taylor, Sh Kopf, Et Al
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Rationale The hydrogen isotopic composition of lipids (d2Hlipid) is widely used in food science and as a proxy for past hydrological conditions. Determining the d2H values of large, well-preserved triacylglycerides and other microbial lipids, such as glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids, is thus of widespread interest but has so far not been possible due to their low volatility which prohibits analysis by traditional gas chromatography/pyrolysis/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/P/IRMS). Methods We determined the d2H values of large, polar molecules and applied high-temperature gas chromatography (HTGC) methods on a modified GC/P/IRMS system. The system used a high-temperature 7-m GC column, …

Given the recent trend towards establishing very large marine protected areas (MPAs) and the high potential of these to contribute to global conservation targets, we review outcomes of the last decade of marine conservation research in the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), one of the largest MPAs in the world. The BIOT MPA consists of the atolls of the Chagos Archipelago, interspersed with and surrounded by deep oceanic waters. Islands around the atoll rims serve as nesting grounds for sea birds. Extensive and diverse shallow and mesophotic reef habitats provide essential habitat and feeding grounds for all marine life, and …

Insights Into Gene Expression And The Influence Of Regulatory Mechanisms Within Meningioma - A Bioinformatic Approach, Louise Carr
Insights Into Gene Expression And The Influence Of Regulatory Mechanisms Within Meningioma - A Bioinformatic Approach, Louise Carr
The Plymouth Student Scientist
Meningioma is cancer of the meninges, the protective lining of the brain and spinal cord. Currently meningioma is classified using WHO Grades (I-III) which is based on histological characteristics of the tumours. This approach can give inaccurate indication of tumour aggression and therefore an inappropriate treatment course is chosen. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes that may act as biomarkers to indicate tumour aggressiveness. A further aim was to infer and investigate the role of specific gene expression regulatory mechanisms within meningioma. Bioinformatic approaches for transcriptomic analysis were used to study microarray data of 62 …
Evaluating The Role Of Citizen Science In Biological Investigations, Fiona Day
Evaluating The Role Of Citizen Science In Biological Investigations, Fiona Day
The Plymouth Student Scientist
Considering recent and predicted ecological changes (caused by global climate change), baseline monitoring of biological diversity becomes an extremely useful record to have. Citizen science provides a unique, low-cost, high output method of attaining large data sets which has already been implemented in several studies. They are used by major bodies such as the Natural History Museum, OPAL and the RSPB. Despite this concerns lie with the accuracy of the data – can volunteers really produce real data? In this study various aspects were investigated, firstly the current public opinion about citizen science, how we can train volunteers carrying out …
Social Networks Differ Depending On Aggressive And Affiliative Interactions Of Captive Ring-Tailed Lemurs (Lemur Catta), Kerry Marcus
Social Networks Differ Depending On Aggressive And Affiliative Interactions Of Captive Ring-Tailed Lemurs (Lemur Catta), Kerry Marcus
The Plymouth Student Scientist
Social network analysis provides a deeper understanding of the dynamic social relationships within a social group through identifying centrality, subgroups, isolated individuals and preferred or avoided dyads which have shown effective for the study of dominance hierarchies (Funkhouser et al., 2018). However, this is rarely used in captive environments despite showing promise for its management. In this study, social network analysis was used to investigate the dominance hierarchy, dyadic and group-level social relationships in a captive group of 11 ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) at Bristol Zoo Gardens. Focal-animal and instantaneous scan sampling were used to collect 90 total hours of …
Population Density And Immune Investment In Different Developmental Stages Of Tenebrio Molitor, Nathan Dennis
Population Density And Immune Investment In Different Developmental Stages Of Tenebrio Molitor, Nathan Dennis
The Plymouth Student Scientist
Immune responses are costly, so organisms should invest in immunity when environmental cues indicate a high risk of infection. The density-dependent prophylaxis (DDP) hypothesis proposes that because the risk of infection increases with population density, organisms should invest more in immunity under crowded conditions. The aims of this study were to investigate DDP in the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor and to assess whether density-dependent immune investment differs between developmental stages. T. molitor larvae weighing 50-130mg were assigned to either a low-, moderate-, or high-density treatment for 31 days. After which the phenoloxidase (PO) activity, encapsulation and capsule melanisation responses, and …
Diet Cola And Glycaemia: The Acute Effects Of A Preload Containing The Non-Nutritive Sweeteners Aspartame And Acesulfame-K On The Glycaemic Response To A Glucose Load, Luke Solomi
The Plymouth Student Scientist
Epidemiological evidence has linked non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) with potential adverse health outcomes such as obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and poor blood glucose control. This study aims to ascertain the acute glycaemic effects of the NNS aspartame and acesulfame-K in diet cola when consumed prior to a glucose load. Ten participants were recruited to take part and instructed to attend the laboratory in a fasted state on two occasions. Participants drank a preload containing either 250 mL carbonated water (CW) or 250 mL caffeine-free diet cola (DC) 10 minutes prior to consumption of a 25 g glucose beverage in 125 mL water. …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Negative impacts of global climate change are predicted for a range of taxa. Projections predict marked increases in sea surface temperatures and ocean acidification (OA), arguably placing calcifying organisms at most risk. While detrimental impacts of environmental change on the growth and ultrastructure of bivalve mollusk shells have been shown, rapid and diel fluctuations in pH typical of coastal systems are often not considered. Mytilus edulis, an economically important marine calcifier vulnerable to climate change, were exposed to current and future OA (380 and 1000 ppm pCO2), warming (17 and 20°C), and ocean acidification and warming (OAW) scenarios …

Human Adaptation To Hypoxia In Critical Illness, Helen T. Mckenna, Andrew J. Murray, Daniel S. Martin
Human Adaptation To Hypoxia In Critical Illness, Helen T. Mckenna, Andrew J. Murray, Daniel S. Martin
Peninsula Medical School
The syndrome of critical illness is a complex physiological stressor that can be triggered by diverse pathologies. It is widely believed that organ dysfunction and death result from bioenergetic failure caused by inadequate cellular oxygen supply. Teleologically, life has evolved to survive in the face of stressors by undergoing a suite of adaptive changes. Adaptation not only comprises alterations in systemic physiology but also involves molecular reprogramming within cells. The concept of cellular adaptation in critically ill patients is a matter of contention in part because medical interventions mask underlying physiology, creating the artificial construct of “chronic critical illness,” without …

Evidence For Physiological Niche Expansion Of An Intertidal Flatworm: Evolutionary Rescue In The Wild, Katharine A. Clayton, John I. Spicer
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Microevolution may enable populations to adapt physiologically to rapid climate change. Where it exists, historical data could provide a rare opportunity to document such adaptation. The intertidal flatworm Procerodes littoralis experiences large changes in salinity throughout the tidal cycle. We investigated whether regeneration performance of P. littoralis has changed over the last century. We repeated identical experiments to those published in 1914 on the same species and from the same location. In the modern experiment, when tested across a range of different salinities (S = 3, 6, 28, 44 and 53), P. littoralis could regenerate at lower salinities (S = …

Insights Into Growth Kinetics And Roles Of Enzymes Of Krebs’ Cycle And Sulfur Oxidation During Exochemolithoheterotrophic Growth Of Achromobacter Aegrifaciens Nccb 38021 On Succinate With Thiosulfate As The Auxiliary Electron Donor, Lee P. Hutt, Glenn M. Harper, A. John Moody, Rich Boden
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Achromobacter aegrifaciens NCCB 38021 was grown heterotrophically on succinate versus exochemolithoheterotrophically on succinate with thiosulfate as auxiliary electron donor. In batch culture, no significant differences in specific molar growth yield or specific growth rate were found for the two growth conditions, but in continuous culture in the succinate-limited chemostat, the maximum specific growth yield coefficient increased by 23.3% with thiosulfate present, consistent with previous studies of endo- and exochemolithoheterotrophs and thermodynamic predictions. Thiosulfate oxidation was coupled to respiration at cytochrome c551, and thiosulfate-dependent ATP biosynthesis occurred. Specific activities of cytochrome c-linked thiosulfate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.8.2.2) and two other enzymes of …

School of Biomedical Sciences
Abstract Regenerative medicine approaches to enhancing beta cell growth and survival represent potential treatments for diabetes. It is known that growth factors such as insulin, IGF-1 and HGF support beta cell growth and survival, but in people with type 2 diabetes the destructive effects of metabolic stress predominate and beta cell death or dysfunction occurs. In this study we explore the novel hypothesis that regulation of growth factor receptor trafficking can be used to promote islet beta cell survival. Growth factor signalling is dependent on the presence of cell surface receptors. Endosomal trafficking and subsequent recycling or degradation of these …
