Applying quantitative methods to conservation planning : Population dynamics of the Eurasian otter in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2008)As appears typical in the field of conservation biology, the current study has parallel aims. The first is to improve both the limited toolbox and the biological information available for the conservation of a vulnerable ... -
The relationship between resource elemental deficiencies and zooplankton community structure and dynamics
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2007)Ecological stoichiometry is the study of the balance of elements in ecological interactions and processes. Recent theoretical and experimental work suggests that consideration of stoichiometric constraints on zooplankton ... -
Benthic habitat mapping in the southern Irish Sea
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2010)Habitat mapping is an extremely important area in marine science. Before we can conserve areas or consider the potential impacts of industries such as fishing, aggregates, windfarms and wave or tidal turbines, we first ... -
Spatial and temporal variability in the littoral macroinvertebrate communities of selected Irish lakes
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2008)Five replicate samples were collected from five exposed stony shoreline sites in three low, mid and high alkalinity lakes within a narrow temporal window in order to assess the spatial variation in littoral invertebrate ... -
Individual- and community-level responses of littoral macroinvertebrates to lake nutrient enrichment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2009)The aim of this study was to investigate the response of littoral macroinvertebrates to nutrient enrichment across 66 Irish lakes representing a broad nutrient gradient. It was hypothesised that an increase in lake trophic ... -
Exploiting a mouse model to identify the mechanistic basis of resistance / susceptibility to a major gastrointestinal (GI) nematode infection of man and livestock
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2010)Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum are widespread parasitic nematodes of humans and pigs respectively. Ascaris worms exhibit an overdispersed frequency distribution in their hosts. In addition, observation of re-infection ... -

The effects of season, habitat, hydroperiod and water chemistry on the distribution of turlough aquatic invertebrate communities
(University of Dublin, Trinity College, 2009)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of season, habitat, hydroperiod and water chemistry on the distribution of turlough aquatic invertebrate communities. Twenty-two turloughs, selected as representative ...
