Assessing fixed depth carbon stocks in soils with varying horizon depths and thicknesses, sampled by horizon
(2017)Soil surveys for improving carbon (C) stock estimates frequently involve soil sampling by pre-determined regular depth-intervals, in order to enable more convenient computation of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. As a ... -
Characterisation and expression profile of the bovine cathelicidin gene repertoire in mammary tissue
(2014)Background Cathelicidins comprise a major group of host-defence peptides. Conserved across a wide range of species, they have several functions related to host defence. Only one cathelicidin has been found in humans but ... -
Comparison of pesticide leaching potential to groundwater under EU FOCUS and site specific conditions
(Elsevier, 2013)The EU FOCUS scenarios are a set of nine standard scenarios based on a combination of crop, soil and weather data used throughout Europe to evaluate the leaching potential of pesticides to groundwater. In Ireland, ... -

Evidence of the adaptive evolution of immune genes in chicken
(2009)The basis for understanding the characteristics of gene functional categories in chicken has been enhanced by the ongoing sequencing of the zebra finch genome, the second bird species to be extensively sequenced. This ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS INFECTION OF THE MAMMARY GLAND INDUCES REGION-SPECIFIC CHANGES IN INNATE IMMUNE GENE EXPRESSION
(Elsevier, 2011)Staphylococcus aureus is a prolific mastitis-causing bacterium that resides naturally in the environment of the dairy cow. The aim of this study was to profile immune gene expression in tissue from the alveolar, ductal, ... -
Global gene expression analysis of chicken caecal response to Campylobacter jejuni
(Elsevier, 2011)Campylobacter jejuni colonises the caecum of more than 90% of commercial chickens. Even though colonisation is asymptomatic, we hypothesised that it is mediated by activation of several biological pathways. We therefore ... -
Innate immune gene expression differentiates the early avian intestinal response between Salmonella and Campylobacter
(2009)Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Campylobacter jejuni are major human pathogens, yet colonise chickens without causing pathology. The aim of this study was to compare intestinal innate immune responses to both ... -
Linear habitats across a range of farming intensities contribute differently to dipteran abundance and diversity.
(2020)1. While the value of linear farm habitats for the protection and enhancement of farmland biodiversity in general is known, less is understood about their contribution to Diptera, especially those with different ecological ... -
Organic farming and landscape structure: Effects on insect-pollinated plant diversity in intensively managed grasslands

Quantitative solid phase microextraction - Gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis of the pesticides lindane, heptachlor and two heptachlor transformation products in groundwater
(2013)This paper describes the development and validation of a method for the determination of lindane, heptachlor and two heptachlor transformation products (exo- and endo-heptachlor epoxide) in groundwater. Samples were ... -
Reproductive biology including evidence for superfetation in the European badger Meles meles (Carnivora: Mustelidae).
(2015)The reproductive biology of the European badger ( Meles meles ) is of wide interest because it is one of the few mammal species that show delayed implantation and one of only five which are suggested to show superfetation ... -
SNP variation in the promoter of the PRKAG3 gene and association with meat quality traits in pig.
(2012)Background The PRKAG3 gene encodes the ?3 subunit of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), a protein that plays a key role in energy metabolism in skeletal muscle. Non-synonymous single nucleotide ... -
Trophic enrichment factors for blood serum in the European badger (Meles meles)
(2012)Ecologists undertaking stable isotopic analyses of animal diets require trophic enrichment factors (TEFs) for the specific animal tissues that they are studying. Such basic data are available for a small number of species, ...
