Investigating the genetic basis of boldness and reproductive performance traits in the grey seal (Halichoerus grypus)
DownloadSpring 2022
Individual variation provides the material for natural selection to act upon, influencing ecological and evolutionary processes. Much phenotypic variation in traits, such as behaviour and life-history, have a moderate to high heritable component, suggesting that these traits may have adaptive...

Repeatability of a novel prototype surrogate neck model developed for omni-directional head impacts
DownloadSpring 2022
Head impacts, both concussive and sub-concussive, are common in sports and can lead to adverse side effects. Since head kinematics are thought to correlate with brain injury, the implementation of protective headgear aimed to mitigate kinematics of the head during impacts. While fatal brain...

The effect of torso mass in direct head impacts using a Hybrid III neck and a novel surrogate neck model
DownloadSpring 2023
Concussions are one of the most common injuries in sport and can result in detrimental long-term health effects. To reduce the severity of concussion and head injury, protective headgear has been implemented and is continually evaluated to minimize head kinematics after impact. For investigation...
