Direct interactions between invasive plants and native pollinators: evidence, impacts and approaches
(2016)Invasive non-native plants form interactions with native species and have the potential to cause direct and indirect impacts on those species, as well as the functioning of invaded ecosystems. Many entomophilous invasive ... -
The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
(2016)The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples ... -
Thomas N. Taylor – Pioneering palaeomycologist (1937–2016)
(2017)IMA De Bary and Ainsworth Medals These Medals represent the highest honours bestowed by the IMA, and presentation of the awards is normally at International Mycological Congresses (IMC). The Committee may, however, choose ... -

Sustainable harvesting of the ecosystem engineer Corallina officinalis for biomaterials
(2019)Macroalgae are of increasing interest for high-value biotechnological applications, but some seaweeds, such as coralline red algae, cannot be grown in cultivation cost-effectively. Wild harvesting of seaweeds, particularly ... -
Fungal sporulation in a Permian plant fragment from Antarctica. Bulletin of Geosciences
(2018)Documented evidence of fungi from the Permian of Antarctica mostly consists of dispersed remains that do not provide the whole complement of diagnostic features necessary to determine even broad systematic affinities. A ... -
The value of ex situ collections for global biodiversity conservation in the wild
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2021)Despite the best efforts of conservation practitioners global biodiversity is continuing to decline. The role of zoos and aquariums in conserving global biodiversity ex situ has become increasingly important as more species ... -
Western banks in Eastern Europe: New geographies of financialisation (GEOFIN research agenda)
(2017)GEOFIN research agenda: Financialisation, or the growing power of finance over societies and economies, is increasingly recognised as the key feature of contemporary capitalism. However, significant ... -
Winners And Losers In Coronavirus Times: Financialisation, Financial Chains and Emerging Economic Geographies of The Covid-19 Pandemic
(2020)This paper has two interrelated aims. First, it attempts to sketch a preliminary map of economic winners and losers to highlight the emerging economic geographies of the coronavirus pandemic. Second, it aims to explore the ... -
The avifauna of Ankobohobo Wetland, a neglected Important Bird Area in northwestern Madagascar
(2020)We present here the first detailed inventory of the birds of Ankobohobo Wetland in northwest Madagascar, based on data collected annually in June and July 2010–2018. These wetlands consist of a c. 35 km2 area of mangroves ... -
Habitat Fragmentation Increases Overall Richness, but Not of Habitat-Dependent Species
(2020)Debate rages as to whether habitat fragmentation leads to the decline of biodiversity once habitat loss is accounted for. Previous studies have defined fragmentation variously, but research needs to address “fragmentation ... -
Innovating with nature: from nature-based solutions to nature-based enterprises
(2021)Nature-based solutions (NBS) to address societal challenges have been widely recognised and adopted by governments in climate change and biodiversity strategies. Nevertheless, significant barriers exist for the necessary ... -
Investigating veterinary antiparasitic drugs as emerging contaminants in Irish groundwater
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2021)Due to increased intensification of the food production system, veterinary drugs have become a critical component in animal husbandry in Ireland and more broadly within the European Union. The administration of such ... -
An analysis of the spatio-temporal occurrence of anthelmintic veterinary drug residues in groundwater
(2021)Anthelmintics are antiparasitic drugs used to control helminthic parasites such as nematodes and trematodes in animals, particularly those exposed through pasture-based production systems. Even though anthelmintics have ... -
Fish body sizes change with temperature but not all species shrink with warming
(2020)Ectotherms generally shrink under experimental warming, but whether this pattern extends to wild populations is uncertain. We analysed ten million visual survey records, spanning the Australian continent and multiple decades ... -
Tracking halogen recycling and volatile loss in kimberlite magmatism from Greenland: Evidence from combined F-Cl-Br and δ37Cl systematics
(2021)Kimberlite magmatism occurs as a result of volatile fluxed melting of the convecting upper mantle underlying cratonic lithospheric mantle regions. During passage to the Earth's surface, proto-kimberlite magma can interact ... -
Hepatic ascariasis in a mouse model of relative susceptibility
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2020)The parasitic nematode Ascaris lumbricoides infects 800 million people worldwide. The age group most affected by this parasite are children between the ages of 5 and 15 years. The symptoms of ascariasis can be broadly ... -

Discipline of Geography, 2020)Humanitarian action involves the provision of goods and services such as food, water, sanitation, disasters medical care, shelter and protection, during and soon after natural and human-made disasters (Sphere, 2004, p. 6). ... -
Ground flora of field boundary dry stone walls in the Burren, Ireland
(2020)Despite the fact that field boundary (dry) stone walls are globally common in rural landscapes, very little research has been carried out regarding them. Dry stone walls may act as refuges for a range of plants and animals, ...
