Understanding variation in ecology and physiology of marine migratory species.
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2023)As the world faces the threats of multiple compounded and worsening crises, scientists are racing to gather the knowledge necessary to safeguard entire ecosystems and species. Technological advances are continuously ... -
Utilisation of brown trout by Acanthocephalus clavula (Acanthocephala) in brown trout (Salmo trutta) in an Irish lake: is this evidence of a host shift?
(2004)The population biology of the fish acanthocephalan Acanthocephalus clavula was described from 161 wild brown trout, Salmo trutta sampled over a two-year period in Clogher Lake in the west of Ireland. Overall prevalence of ... -
Validation and use of a parametric model for projecting cystic fibrosis survivorship beyond observed data: a birth cohort analysis
(BMJ Group, 2011-07-22)Background: The current lifetable approach to survival estimation is favoured by CF registries. Recognising the limitation of this approach, we examined the utility of a parametric survival model to project birth cohort ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Visualisation of abnormal morphological development and molecular mechanisms that give rise to tracheo-oesophageal malformations and other VACTERL anomalies in an Adriamycin treated Mouse Model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2012)Oesophageal atresia/Tracheo-oesophageal fistula (OA/TOF) are relatively common malfonnations of the foregut in humans (Spitz, 2007). They require urgent corrective surgery after birth and have an impact on the future health ... -
Vultures acquire information on carcass location from scavenging eagles
(2014)Vultures are recognized as the scroungers of the natural world, owing to their ecological role as obligate scavengers. While it is well known that vultures use intraspecific social information as they forage, the possibility ... -
Water level fluctuations and their effects on lake ecology
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2013)Escalating freshwater demand, triggered by population and economic growth, technological development, urbanization, land conversion and intensification of agriculture is one of the major challenges facing humankind. The ... -
What factors shape rates of phenotypic evolution? A comparative study of cranial morphology of four mammalian clades
(2009)Understanding why rates of morphological evolution vary is a major goal in evolutionary biology. Classical work suggests that body size, interspecific competition, geographic range size and specialisation may all be ... -
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 ...
