Reconstructing Devonian palaeoatmosphere & paleoecology using fossil plant traits
(TCD masters thesis, 2023) -
Reinvestigating Carboniferous actinomycetes : authigenic formation of biomimetic carbonates and implications for microbial paleoecology
(2013)Paleoecological interactions among fossil microorganisms have garnered significant interest within the paleobotanical community; however, an understanding of the early diagenesis of associated plant material is of critical ... -
Renaturing cities using a regionally-focused biodiversity-led multifunctional benefits approach to urban green infrastructure
(2016)If a "Renaturing of Cities" strategy is to maximise the ecosystem service provision of urban green infrastructure (UGI), then detailed consideration of a habitat services, biodiversity-led approach and multifunctionality ... -
Research trends in ecosystem services provided by insects
(2018)Insects play a key role in the regulation and dynamics of many ecosystem services (ES). However, this role is often assumed, with limited or no experimental quantification of its real value. We examined publication trends ... -
Strategies for mainstreaming nature-based solutions in urban governance capacities in ten European cities
(2023)This paper explores the institutional mainstreaming of nature-based solutions (NBS) to advance a process-based understanding about how to strategically develop the governance capacities needed for systemic, localised and ... -
Structurally preserved fungi from Antarctica: Diversity and interactions in late Paleozoic and Mesozoic polar forest ecosystems.
(2016)Chert and silicified wood from the Permian through Cretaceous of Antarctica contain abundant information on fungal diversity and plant–fungal interactions. The chert deposits represent a particularly interesting setting ... -
Studies in the recent new genus record Pseudostachyum (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) from Thailand: notes on its taxonomy, distribution and habitat
(2013)A taxonomic review of the genus Pseudostachyum Munro in Thailand is presented including a description of its morphology, geographic distribution and habitat. An illustrated description of the newly recorded species P. ... -
Surviving in a warmer world: environmental and genetic responses
(2012)There are numerous reports in the literature of advancing trends in phenophases of plants, insects and birds attributed to rising temperature resulting from human-driven climate warming. One mechanism that enables a ... -
A taxonomic revision of the genus Eragrostis (Poaceae) in Thailand
(2013)A taxonomic account of Eragrostis in Thailand is provided, in which 23 species are recognized. An artificial key to species and species descriptions is provided along with distributional and ecological data for all taxa. ... -
Testing indicators of biodiversity for plantation forests
(2013)In many parts of the world, plantations make up a considerable proportion of the total forest area. In such regions, the identification of high biodiversity value stands and of management practices to enhance biodiversity ... -
Towards a feasible and representative pan-African research infrastructure network for GHG observations
(2018)There is currently a lack of representative, systematic and harmonised greenhouse gas (GHG) observations covering the variety of natural and human-altered biomes that occur in Africa. This impedes the long-term assessment ... -
Tylosis formation and fungal interactions in an Early Jurassic conifer from northern Victoria Land, Antarctica
(2012)Well-preserved fungi occur in permineralized conifer axes from the Lower Jurassic of northern Victoria Land, Antarctica. The fungus is characterized by septate hyphae extending through the vascular ray system via penetration ... -
Variation in sequences containing microsatellite motifs in the perennial biomass and forage grass, Phalaris arundinacea (Poaceae)
(2016)Forty three microsatellite markers were developed for further genetic characterisation of a forage and biomass grass crop, for which genomic resources are currently scarce. The microsatellite markers were developed from a ...
