Gas exchange and pulmonary stress variations during SCUBA and breath‐hold diving in open seawater
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Healthy, trained divers were studied before, during and after diving in open seawater with different techniques. SCUBA divers (diving to 15 or 40 m with air; cycling at depth) and breath‐hold divers (BHDs; sled‐assisted dives to 15, 25 or 40 m) underwent underwater and surface arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling.

Mixing of porpoise ecotypes in southwestern UK waters revealed by genetic profiling [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Contact zones between ecotypes are windows for understanding how species may react to climate changes. Here, we analysed the fine-scale genetic and morphological variation in harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) around the UK by genotyping 591 stranded ...

Assessing the Underwater Impact of Aerodynamic Noise From Offshore Wind Turbines
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT The growing demand for offshore wind energy has led to a significant increase in wind turbine size and to the development of large‐scale wind farms, often comprising 100–150 turbines. However, the environmental impact of underwater noise emissions remains largely unaddressed.

Defining AV2‐1 as a novel pharmacological probe to target human and rodent TRPV2
British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3538-3557, July 2026.Abstract Background and Purpose Transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a non‐selective cation channel implicated in immune cell functions. However, progress in understanding TRPV2 has been limited by a lack of potent and selective pharmacological tools, particularly those targeting the human variant. We aimed to identify and characterise a

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Accurate inference of sexual maturity is fundamental to interpreting marine mammal life histories and population structure. Using Bayesian logistic regression models with a hierarchical ordinal (HOF‐style) parameterisation and canonical analysis of principal coordinates (CAP), we evaluate skeletal metrics in the pectoral flippers of common ...

No serological evidence that harbour porpoises are additional hosts of influenza B viruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Influenza A and B viruses circulate among humans causing epidemics almost annually. While various hosts for influenza A viruses exist, influenza B viruses have been detected only in humans and seals.
