What a load of rubbish: The impact of anthropogenic litter on urban freshwater diversity. (2025)
Journal Article
Milner, V. S., Hill, M. J., Gething, K. J., & Cunningham, S. B. (2025). What a load of rubbish: The impact of anthropogenic litter on urban freshwater diversity. Environmental Pollution, 373, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2025.126097

The abundance of anthropogenic litter (AL) in aquatic environments is an increasing global problem. Most research on the effects of AL has focussed on marine environments, with research examining the ecological effects of AL in freshwater ecosystems...

Effects of cis-Jasmone Treatment of Brassicas on Interactions With Myzus persicae Aphids and Their Parasitoid Diaeretiella rapae. (2021)
Journal Article
Ali, J., Covaci, A., Roberts, J., Sobhy, I., Kirk, W., & Bruce, T. (2021). Effects of cis-Jasmone Treatment of Brassicas on Interactions With Myzus persicae Aphids and Their Parasitoid Diaeretiella rapae. Frontiers in Plant Science, 711896 - ?. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2021.711896

There is a need to develop new ways of protecting plants against aphid attack. Here, we investigated the effect of a plant defence activator, cis-jasmone (CJ), in a range of cultivars of Brassica napus, Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea. Plants wer...

Evidence for a southward autumn migration of nocturnal noctuid moths in central Europe. (2018)
Journal Article
Dreyer, D., el Jundi, B., Kishkinev, D., Suchentrunk, C., Campostrini, L., Frost, B. J., Zechmeister, T., & Warrant, E. J. (2018). Evidence for a southward autumn migration of nocturnal noctuid moths in central Europe. Journal of Experimental Biology, https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.179218

Insect migrations are spectacular natural events and resemble a remarkable relocation of biomass between two locations in space. Unlike the well-known migrations of daytime flying butterflies, such as the painted lady (Vanessa cardui) or the monarch...

Collaborative geophysical monitoring of simulated forensic ‘crime scenes’ in the UK (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Williams, A., Cross, P., Ruffell, A., Masters, P., Pringle, J., & Cassella, J. (2013, November). Collaborative geophysical monitoring of simulated forensic ‘crime scenes’ in the UK. Presented at Second International Conference on Engineering Geophysics, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates

This paper provides an overview of current collaborative academic forensic geophysics research on various U.K. test sites to detail the importance of forensic simulated burial sites for forensic search investigators. Academic forensic test sites cont... Read More about Collaborative geophysical monitoring of simulated forensic ‘crime scenes’ in the UK.
