The indirect impact of COVID-19 on the life of animals (2022)
Digital Artefact
Rana, M., Rouse, R., Craig, T. J., Macdonald, H., & Hancock, J. T. (2022). The indirect impact of COVID-19 on the life of animals. [website]

The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing major health crisis that is the result of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The virus was first identified in Wuhan, China during December 2019; many patients were initially reported with pneumonia and later the cause was foun...

A comparison of European eel Anguilla anguilla eDNA concentrations to fyke net catches in five Irish lakes (2020)
Journal Article
Weldon, L., O’Leary, C., Steer, M., Newton, L., Macdonald, H., & Sargeant, S. L. (2020). A comparison of European eel Anguilla anguilla eDNA concentrations to fyke net catches in five Irish lakes. Environmental DNA, 2(4), 587-600. https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.91

The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN. To protect what remains of the European eel population, accurate monitoring methods for this species are important. Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques are gaini...

Bioprospecting the thermal waters of the Roman baths: Isolation of oleaginous species and analysis of the FAME profile for biodiesel production (2013)
Journal Article
Smith-Bädorf, H. D., Chuck, C. J., Mokebo, K. R., MacDonald, H., Davidson, M. G., & Scott, R. J. (2013). Bioprospecting the thermal waters of the Roman baths: Isolation of oleaginous species and analysis of the FAME profile for biodiesel production. AMB Express, 3(1), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1186/2191-0855-3-9

The extensive diversity of microalgae provides an opportunity to undertake bioprospecting for species possessing features suited to commercial scale cultivation. The outdoor cultivation of microalgae is subject to extreme temperature fluctuations; te...

Book Chapter
Lewis, M., Amey, R., Schleicher, T., Slinn, J., Lewis, M., Macdonald, H., …Spencer-Phillips, P. T. (2008). Proteomic analysis of a compatible interaction between Pisum sativum (pea) and the downy mildew pathogen Peronospora viciae. In A. Lebeda, P. T. Spencer-Phillips, & B. Cooke (Eds.), The Downy Mildews - Genetics, Molecular Biology and Control (41-55). Springer Netherlands. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-8973-2_5

A proteomic approach was used to identify host proteins altering in abundance during Peronospora viciae infection of a susceptible cultivar of pea (Pisum sativum cv. Livioletta). Proteins were extracted from fully developed pea leaflets at 4 days pos...
