Quantifying the tolerance of chick hip joint development to temporary paralysis and the potential for recovery
(2021)Background: Abnormal fetal movements are implicated in joint pathologies such as arthrogryposis and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Experimentally induced paralysis disrupts joint cavitation and morphogenesis ... -
Determining the depths and timescales of pre-eruptive processes before the historical 1538 Monte Nuovo eruption (Campi Flegrei caldera, Italy)
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2022)Campi Flegrei, Italy is one of the most populated caldera volcanoes on Earth and a detailed understanding of its sub-volcanic magma system and pre-eruptive processes are essential for effective hazard mitigation. Of ... -
Integrated analysis of Wnt signalling system component gene expression
(2022)Wnt signalling controls patterning and differentiation across many tissues and organs of the developing embryo through temporally and spatially restricted expression of multi-gene families encoding ligands, receptors, ... -
WlzWarp: An Open-Source Tool for Complex Alignment of Spatial Data
(2022)Background: The spatio-temporal organisation of many biological processes such as gene-expression and neuronal activity is critical to understanding the overall biological behaviour, phenotype and disease. This is ... -

The Palaeo-Ecology and Geochemistry of Potential Source and Reservoir Microbialites in the Ediacaran-Cambrian Sirab Formation, Sultanate of Oman
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2022)Background Rationale & Aim; Ediacaran - Cambrian microbial carbonates are known to range from West Africa to Arabia and Pakistan. In the Sultanate of Oman, these microbialites serve as both source rock and reservoir in the ... -
Knowledge-driven actions; Transforming higher education for global sustainability: Independent Expert Group on the Universities and the 2030 Agenda
(UNESCO, 2022)Universities and, more broadly, higher education institutions (HEIs), need to use the knowledge they produce and their education of new professionals, to help solve some of the world ́s greatest problems, as addressed ... -
Seeds of change? Social practices of urban community seed sharing initiatives for just transitions to sustainability
(2022)The sharing of seeds is a practice with ancient roots. However, the structures of global agri-food trade in late modernity have drastically reconfigured practices of exchange and reshaped matters of legal ownership, resulting ... -
Creating careful circularities: Community composting in New York City
(2022)While matters of food waste and soil have become vital research arenas, compost remains the Cinderella of human geographical enquiry. In response, this paper brings compost to the centre of debates at the intersection ... -
Just Transition Frames: Recognition, representation, and distribution in Irish beef farming
(2022)The concept of just transition has emerged as an important governance framework guiding sectors transitioning from unsustainable to sustainable practices and is most dominant in debates on the energy transition. This ... -
Exploitation of Decorative Stone in Victorian Ireland: From Quarry to Building
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2022)Ireland contains a diverse range of rock types that are characterised as igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic in origin, which have been widely utilised for building, and to a lesser extent decorative, purposes over the ... -
The relationship between poverty and prosperity: a feminist relational account
(2022)In this paper I use a feminist relational approach to critically examine contemporary mainstream assumptions in the field of development concerning the relationship between poverty and prosperity. I show how these ... -
Spectral Gamma Ray (SGR) Analysis of Sedimentary Environments in Early Continental Rift Basins: Implications for Petroleum Exploration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2022)Continental rift basins are structures of global geoscientific significance, as they hold over 30% of the world?s giant oil fields and serve as modern day examples of unique biodiversity sites, typically operating as ... -
Population Ecology from Local to Global Scales: a case study using Plantago lanceolata
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2022)This thesis investigated approaches to infer on demographic processes across varying scales and environmental gradients, pulling information from multiple sources. I used the model organism Plantago lanceolata. This perennial ... -
Development of an intertidal foraminifera training set for the North Sea and an assessment of its application for Holocene sea-level reconstructions
(2021)Regional datasets of the vertical distribution of intertidal foraminifera are useful to reconstruct Holocene sea-level changes from fossil foraminifera in estuaries and salt marshes. In this paper, we present a new ... -
Spatio-temporal variability in the deposition of beach-cast kelp (wrack) and inter-specific differences in degradation rates
(2021)Coastal habitats dominated by marine macroalgae typically exhibit high rates of pri- mary productivity and play a key role in local and regional carbon cycles and stores. In temperate regions, large brown algae (i.e. ... -
Applying ecosystem accounting to develop a risk register for peatlands and inform restoration targets at catchment scale: a case study from the European region
(2022)Combining natural capital accounting tools and ecosystem restoration approaches builds on existing frameworks to track changes in ecosystem stocks and flows of services and benefits as a result of restoration. This approach ... -
Pollinator selection against toxic nectar as a key facilitator of a plant invasion
