Quantifying the environmental drivers of tree phenology
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2007)The prediction of growth onset is particularly complicated, because this phenophase is the end-point of a series of poorly understood physiological changes that are not directly observable, occurring while the bud is ... -
Phylogenetics, taxonomy and evolution of Camellia (Theaceae) in the Indochinese Peninsula
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2018)Tea, camellias and oil camellia have brought huge profits to people worldwide. These plants belong to the genus Camellia. The variable morphological characters of the group make the classification of Camellia very difficult ... -
Application of genomic tools for Irish pasture improvement
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2018)The conventional way to improve populations in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), the most important forage grass in Ireland, is through recurrent selection. However, despite breeding for nearly a century, the rate of ... -
Tiered Species Toxicity Assessment of Six Agricultural Pesticides on the Freshwater Environment
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2017)This research project aims to investigate the toxicity of six commonly used agricultural pesticides (formulations based on glyphosate, mecoprop-p, chlorothalonil, mancozeb, metaldehyde and chlorpyrifos) on three key ... -

Ecological impacts of invasive plants on pollinators : studies on an individual, species and community scale
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2015)Pollination is a critical ecosystem service yet pollinators are experiencing worldwide declines. Although invasive alien species are cited as a major driver of pollinator declines, little is known about how pollinators are ... -
Deep-sea coral reef ecology : feeding mechanisms, community interactions, and habitat associations of deep-sea echinoids
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2014)The ultimate aim of the thesis was to probe into the ecology of deep-sea echinoids in order to contribute newfound information to this topic, as well as develop tools to facilitate ecological work in deep-sea environments. ... -
Investigating genetic variation in species and populations of Salix L. with particular emphasis on wood formation and disease resistance genes
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2014)The genus Salix L. (willows, sallows and osiers) of the Salicaceae consists of dioecious, catkin-bearing trees, shrubs or undershrubs with simple, nearly always alternate leaves. Willows are used as biofuel and biomass ...
