Phaeoviral Infections Are Present In Macrocystis, Ecklonia And Undaria (Laminariales) And Are Influenced By Wave Exposure In Ectocarpales, Da Mckeown, L. Joanna, Jl Schroeder, K Stevens, Et Al
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Two sister orders of the brown macroalgae (class Phaeophyceae), the morphologically complex Laminariales (commonly referred to as kelp) and the morphologically simple Ectocarpales are natural hosts for the dsDNA phaeoviruses (family Phycodnaviridae) that persist as proviruses in the genomes of their hosts. We have previously shown that the major capsid protein (MCP) and DNA polymerase concatenated gene phylogeny splits phaeoviruses into two subgroups, A and B (both infecting Ectocarpales), while MCP-based phylogeny suggests that the kelp phaeoviruses form a distinct third subgroup C. Here we used MCP to better understand the host range of phaeoviruses by screening a further 96 …
A Review Of Abstract Concept Learning In Embodied Agents And Robots, A Cangelosi, F Stramandinoli
A Review Of Abstract Concept Learning In Embodied Agents And Robots, A Cangelosi, F Stramandinoli
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
This paper reviews computational modelling approaches to the learning of abstract concepts and words in embodied agents such as humanoid robots. This will include a discussion of the learning of abstract words such as ‘use’ and ‘make’ in humanoid robot experiments, and the acquisition of numerical concepts via gesture and finger counting strategies. The current approaches share a strong emphasis on embodied cognition aspects for the grounding of abstract concepts, and a continuum, rather than dichotomy, view of concrete/abstract concepts differences. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Varieties of abstract concepts: development, use and representation in the brain’.

A Simple Decision To Move In Response To Touch Reveals Basic Sensory Memory And Mechanisms For Variable Response Times., S Koutsikou, R Merrison-Hort, E Buhl, A Ferrario, Et Al
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
Many motor responses to sensory input, like locomotion or eye movements, are much slower than reflexes. Can simpler animals provide fundamental answers about the cellular mechanisms for motor decisions? Can we observe the 'accumulation' of excitation to threshold proposed to underlie decision making elsewhere? We explore how somatosensory touch stimulation leads to the decision to swim in hatchling Xenopus tadpoles. Delays measured to swimming in behaving and immobilized tadpoles are long and variable. Activity in their extensively studied sensory and sensory pathway neurons is too short-lived to explain these response delays. Instead, whole-cell recordings from the hindbrain reticulospinal neurons that …

The National Health Service (Nhs) In 'Crisis': The Role Played By A Shift From Horizontal To Vertical Principles Of Equity., Sheena Asthana, Alex Gibson
Peninsula Medical School
Explanations of the state of 'crisis' in the English National Health Service (NHS) generally focus on the overall level of health care funding rather than the way in which funding is distributed. Describing systematic patterns in the way different areas are experiencing crisis, this paper suggests that NHS organisations in older, rural and particularly coastal areas are more likely to be 'failing' and that this is due to the historic underfunding of such areas. This partly reflects methodological and technical shortcomings in NHS resource allocation formulae. It is also the outcome of a philosophical shift from horizontal (equal access for …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences
The impact of recreational fishing on fish stocks remains unknown, as this is inherently difficult to monitor, especially in areas such as the Mediterranean Sea where many species are targeted using a variety of fishing gears and techniques. The present study attempts to complement existing datasets andconstruct the profile of recreational fisheries in the EU-Mediterranean countries using videos publicly available on social media. A total of 1526 video records were selected, featuring the capture of 7799 fish specimens. The results show recreational fishing is multi-species in nature (26 species contributed to >80% % of the most numerically important species caught) …

In the present article, new records are given for 15 species (4 native and 9 alien and 2 cryptogenic), belonging to 6 Phyla (i.e. Chlorophyta, Ctenophora, Cnidaria, Mollusca, Arthropoda, and Chordata), from 10 Mediterranean countries: Morocco: the finding of the crab Callinectes sapidus represents the westernmost one of the species in the Mediterranean; Italy: first records of the nudibranch Polycera hedgpethi from the harbour of La Spezia, and first finding of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Fiora River; Tunisia: Caulerpa taxifolia var. distichophylla is recorded for the first time, showing an even wider distribution in the Mediterranean; Greece: …
Differences In Flowering Sex Ratios Between Native And Invasive Populations Of The Seagrass Halophila Stipulacea, Hm Nguyen, P Kleitou, D Kletou, Y Sapir, G Winters
Differences In Flowering Sex Ratios Between Native And Invasive Populations Of The Seagrass Halophila Stipulacea, Hm Nguyen, P Kleitou, D Kletou, Y Sapir, G Winters
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Deviations from the 1:1 sex ratio are common in dioecious plants. The tropical seagrass Halophila stipulacea is among an extremely rare group of dioecious plants which is widely recognized as female-biased. Here we report on differences in sex ratios between native (Eilat, northern Red Sea) and invasive (Cyprus, Mediterranean Sea) populations. While H. stipulacea populations were female-biased in the native region, invasive populations were either male- or female-biased. The existence of both sexes simultaneously in the Mediterranean invasive population, might help its ongoing expansion in the Mediterranean, thereby threatening local seagrasses species.

There is considerable literature on internationalising the curriculum in higher education, but relatively little of this focuses on developing international perspectives in home-based students. In particular, there has been limited direct engagement with student views and understandings, especially comparatively across a wide range of subjects. To address this gap, we surveyed 495 first-year students in nine subjects across four faculties at a UK university, asking about their views on internationalisation. We also examined an apparent bias in the literature towards Business subject case studies. We found some support for generic approaches to teaching internationalisation for home students, but a more …

Paired Dissolved And Particulate Phase Cu Isotope Distributions In The South Atlantic, Susan H. Little, Corey Archer, Angela Milne, Christian Schlosser, Eric P. Achterberg, Maeve C. Lohan, Derek Vance
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
© 2018 The Authors Copper (Cu) is both an essential micronutrient and toxic to photosynthesizing microorganisms at low concentrations. Its dissolved vertical distribution in the oceans is unusual, being neither a nutrient-type nor scavenged-type element. This distribution is attributed to biological uptake in the surface ocean with remineralisation at depth, combined with strong organic complexation by dissolved ligands, scavenging onto particles, and benthic sedimentary input. We present coupled dissolved and particulate phase Cu isotope data along the UK-GEOTRACES South Atlantic section, alongside higher resolution dissolved and particulate phase Cu concentration measurements. Our dissolved phase isotope data contribute to an emerging …

Bifurcations Of Limit Cycles In A Reduced Model Of The Xenopus Tadpole Central Pattern Generator, A Ferrario, R Merrison-Hort, Sr Soffe, W Li, R Borisyuk
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
We present the study of a minimal microcircuit controlling locomotion in two-day-old Xenopus tadpoles. During swimming, neurons in the spinal central pattern generator (CPG) generate anti-phase oscillations between left and right half-centres. Experimental recordings show that the same CPG neurons can also generate transient bouts of long-lasting in-phase oscillations between left-right centres. These synchronous episodes are rarely recorded and have no identified behavioural purpose. However, metamorphosing tadpoles require both anti-phase and in-phase oscillations for swimming locomotion. Previous models have shown the ability to generate biologically realistic patterns of synchrony and swimming oscillations in tadpoles, but a mathematical description of how …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Abstract. Biofouling is a major vector in the transfer of non-native species around the world. Species can be transported on virtually all submerged areas of ships (e.g. hulls, sea chests, propellers) and so antifouling systems are used to reduce fouling. However, with increased regulation of biocides used in antifoulants (e.g. the International Maritime Organization tributyltin ban in 2008), there is a need to find efficient and sustainable alternatives. Here, we tested the hypothesis that short doses of low salinity water could be used to kill fouling species in sea chests. Settlement panels were suspended at 1.5 m depth in a …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
The methylamines form part of the marine organic nitrogen pool. Although they are ubiquitous in marine systems, little is known about their distribution, production and fate in the marine environment. Analytical methods have been developed for their analysis in marine waters, but these have employed custom-made apparatus, limiting data to a few studies. Here, we report a method developed for the determination of methylamines in seawater which combines headspace solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) and gas chromatography with selective nitrogen detection. Gaseous methylamines were pre-concentrated from water samples (approximately 1 L) at elevated temperature, onto a polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene SPME fibre. The analytes …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Cell wall appositions (CWAs) are produced reactively by the plant immune system to arrest microbial invasion through the local inversion of plant cell growth. This process requires the controlled invagination of the plasma membrane (PM) in coordination with the export of barrier material to the volume between the plant PM and cell wall. Plant actin dynamics are essential to this response, but it remains unclear how exocytosis and the cytoskeleton are linked in space and time to form functional CWAs. Here, we show that actin-dependent trafficking to immune response sites of Arabidopsis thaliana delivers membrane-integrated FORMIN4, which in turn contributes …

An Investigation Of Pair-Bonded Humboldt Penguins (Spheniscus Humboldti) In Captivity: The Differences Between Male-Female Pairs And Male-Male Pairs, Emily Allen
The Plymouth Student Scientist
Same-sex sexual and pair-bonding behaviours are seen in a wide range of species. This study compared opposite-sex and same-sex pair-bond behaviours, both affiliative within pairs, and agonistic between pairs and individuals, in Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti). This study also looked at where area preferences were within the enclosure to determine possible territory behaviour. A total of 200 minutes of footage of four pairs were analysed; two oppositesex pairs, and two male-male pairs. It was found that there was no difference between agonistic behaviours (P = 0.054), but affiliative behaviours were seen significantly more in opposite-sex pairs (P = 0.002). More …

The Plymouth Student Scientist
The laboratory in chemistry has been a place for student learning for many years. The study here developed a practical experiment to form part of the curriculum of Plymouth University’s BSc (Hons) Chemistry course for first year students. The experiment focused on physical chemistry and explored rates of reaction using a modified crystal violet and sodium hydroxide reaction. The modifications from an original method included the concentrations of sodium hydroxide and the instrument used. The practical was finalised and lab script produced in eight weeks. Further studies were also conducted surrounding the effect of temperature on the reaction. The resultant …
