(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2019)The trace-element geochemistry of native and common plant species in Ireland including ash, beech, blackberry, hawthorn, oak, poplar and sycamore was systematically determined above the Navan Zn-Pb deposit, currently mined ... -
A light and electron microscopical study of the regenerating spinal cord of the Eel
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2001)The present study examined the regenerative capability o f the European eel Anguill anguilla following spinal cord transection injury using both light and electron microscopy. The primary aim of this investigation was to ... -
The water quality requirements of white-clawed crayfish, Austropotamobius pallipes Lereboullet (1858) in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2003)Despite the decreasing water quality and the occurrence of the crayfish plague, the unique conditions present in Ireland offer a good opportunity to study aspects of the ecology of the white-clawed crayfish. Ireland is now ... -
Morphological change in nucleus accumbens neurons as a basis for the development of haloperidol-induced movement disorders
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2000)A syndrome of involuntary, hyperkinetic abnormal movements called tardive dyskinesia (TD) develop in predisposed individuals following treatment and withdrawal from neuroleptic drugs. These movements are primarily orofacial ... -
The ecology of the family Chydoridae (Branchiopoda, Anomopoda) and its application to lake monitoring
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2000)Chydorids (Branchipoda, Anomopoda) were sampled from twenty nine Irish lakes between June 1996 and July 1997, in order to assess the usefulness of this group as indicators of lake ecological quality. The lakes represented ... -
The exploitation of soil organic phosphate by grassland plants
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2002)This study was concerned with the availability of soil organic phosphate (Po) to plants. To address this issue semi-natural Irish grassland soils and plants were used. Greenhouse experiments were carried out in which soil ... -
The parasite community structure of stocked and wild brown trout (Salmo trutta L.)
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2001)The present study examined the parasite component and infracommunities of wild and stocked brown trout from an experimental fishery, Lough Feeagh and compared them to the parasite component and infracommunities of wild ... -
