A taxonomic revision of the genus Henckelia Spreng. (Gesneriaceae) in Thailand and surrounding countries
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2020)Henckelia was described in 1817 by Sprengel. The name Henkelia honours a German administrator and amateur botanist, L.V.F. Henckel von Donnersmarck (1785-1861). Currently Henckelia contains 68 species globally. This ... -
Integrating stakeholder perspectives into environmental planning through social valuation of ecosystem services: Guidance and Prototype Applications
(OPERAs Project, 2017)Social – or socio-cultural – valuation of ecosystem services is the process of discovering what ecosystem services people value and how important they are to them. In this document, you find guidance to set up your own ... -
Nature-based solutions for urban climate change adaptation: linking the science, policy, and practice community for evidence-based decision-making
(2019)Nature-based solutions offer an exciting prospect for resilience building and advancing urban planning to address complex urban challenges simultaneously. In this article, we formulated through a coproduction process in ... -
A new sensitive method for the simultaneous chromatographic separation and tandem mass spectrometry detection of anticoccidials, including highly polar compounds, in environmental waters
(Elsevier, 2020)A sensitive and selective method was developed and validated for the determination of 26 anticoccidial compounds (six ionophores and twenty chemical coccidiostats) in surface and groundwater samples at parts-per-quadrillion ... -
An investigation of anticoccidial veterinary drugs as emerging organic contaminants in groundwater
(Elsevier, 2020)Intensification of the food production system to meet increased global demand for food has led to veterinary pharmaceuticals becoming a critical component in animal husbandry. Anticoccidials are a group of veterinary ... -
Jurassic evaporites and diapirism along the southern Tanzanian continental margin: Implications for petroleum exploration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2020)One of the key issues for petroleum exploration along the entire Tanzanian margin is the extent of evaporite deposition and its diapirism. This leads to scenarios for the configuration and relative movement of conjugate ... -
Principles of cross congruence do not apply in naturally disturbed dune slack habitats: Implications for conservation monitoring
(2018)Cross congruence, where diversity or composition of multiple species follow similar patterns, underlies the use of indicator species in conservation practice. However, there are circumstances in which cross congruence has ... -
Advancing understanding and prediction in multiple stressor research through a mechanistic basis for null models
(Wiley, 2018)Global environmental change is driven by multiple anthropogenic stressors. Conservation and restoration require understanding the individual and joint action of these stressors to evaluate and prioritize management measures. ... -
Meta-trends in Global Value Chains and Development: Interacting Impacts with COVID-19 in Africa
(2020)How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect prospects for foreign investment and development in Africa? In part this depends on its interaction with pre-existing meta-trends in the global economy, such as the rise of China and ... -
Cryptic evolved melts beneath monotonous basaltic shield volcanoes in the Galápagos Archipelago
(2020)Many volcanoes erupt compositionally homogeneous magmas over timescales ranging from decades to millennia. This monotonous activity is thought to reflect a high degree of chemical homogeneity in their magmatic systems, ... -
Phylogenetics of paclitaxel biosynthesis genes in Taxus baccata, Taxus hybrids and allies
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2020)Taxus L. is a genus of trees and shrubs with high value in horticulture,and in medicine as a source of the anticancer drug Paclitaxel. The taxonomy of the group is highly complex due to the lack of diagnostic morphological ... -
Vegetated Habitats Trophically Support Early Development Stages of a Marine Migrant Fish in a Coastal Lagoon
(2020)Understanding the trophic ecology of early developmental stages of commercial fish species migrating between sea and coastal lagoons is crucial to effective management of nursery habitats and resulting resources. While ... -
Stable isotopes are quantitative indicators of trophic niche
(Wiley, 2019)Hette-Tronquart (2019, Ecol. Lett.) raises three concerns about our interpretation of stable isotope data in Sheppard et al. (2018, Ecol. Lett., 21, 665). We feel that these concerns are based on comparisons that are ... -
Snake venom potency and yield are associated with prey-evolution, predator metabolism and habitat structure
(PubMed Central, 2019)Snake venom is well known for its ability to incapacitate and kill prey. Yet, potency and the amount of venom available varies greatly across species, ranging from the seemingly harmless to those capable of killing vast ... -
Development of a Geogenic Radon Hazard Index–Concept, History, Experiences
(2020)Exposure to indoor radon at home and in workplaces constitutes a serious public health risk and is the second most prevalent cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking. Indoor radon concentration is to a large extent ... -
Deciphering geochemical signals across a Cambro-Ordovician carbonate platform
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2020)Sulfur isotopes (δ34S) preserve a geological record of seawater sulfate that permit insights into biogeochemical cycling, surface redox conditions and microbial activity over geological time. However, isotopic records from ... -
Chemical zoning and open system processes in the Laacher See magmatic system
(2020)Unravelling the generation of compositionally and thermally zoned magma reservoirs is important to our understanding of the dynamic processes operating in magmatic systems. Here, we present new major and trace element data ... -
Petrological, mineralogical and geochemical peculiarities of Archaean cratons
(2019)The most outstanding features of Archaean cratons are their extraordinary thickness and enduring longevity. Seismically, Archaean cratonic fragments are sharply-bounded deep roots of mechanically strong, cold lithospheric ... -
The helminth parasites of Irish badgers: An untold story
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2020)The European badger (Meles meles) is a member of the Mustelid Family and Ireland?s largest terrestrial carnivore. Since the identification of badgers as wildlife reservoirs of bovine tuberculosis (bTB), extensive research ...
