Predator-prey allometry across body size and interaction dimensionality
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2015)Predator-prey interactions are an important evolutionary driver of species' form and diversity, and are a central driver of ecosystem structure. However, the context dependent nature of interactions between predators and ... -
Predicting the ecosystem-wide impacts of eradication with limited information using a qualitative modelling approach
(2020)Conservation-motivated eradications may cause unexpected perverse effects, and these undesirable consequences can be difficult to predict due to the paucity of information on species interactions. A probabilistic qualitative ... -
The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts.
(2014)Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status ... -
Predisposition to ascariasis: patterns, mechanisms and implications
(2009)Ascaris lumbricoides, the human roundworm, is a remarkably infectious and persistent parasite. It is a member of the soil-transmitted helminths or geohelminths and infects in the order of 1472 million people worldwide. ... -
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 ... -
Priority knowledge needs for implementing nature-based solutions in the Mediterranean islands
(2021)Mediterranean islands face significant environmental challenges due to their high population density, reliance on imports, and water scarcity, exacerbated by increasing risks from climate change. Nature-based solutions ... -
Processes of magmatic differentiation within the southern British and Irish Palaeogene Igneous Province
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2009)This thesis presents a geochemical study of magma - crust interaction within the volcanic centres of the southern British and Irish Palaeogene Igneous Province. Three centres occur in northeast Ireland; the Carlingford ... -
Procollagen Type I amino-terminal propeptide : pediatric reference data and relationship with procollagen type I carboxyl-terminal propeptide
(American Association for Clinical Chemistry, 2004)Type I collagen is the predominant collagen in bone and soft tissue. The rate of synthesis of type I collagen can be assessed by measuring plasma concentrations of the C-terminal (PICP) and N-terminal (PINP) propeptides ... -

A proteomic investigation of hepatic resistance to Ascaris in a murine model
(2016)he helminth Ascaris causes ascariasis in both humans and pigs. Humans, especially chil- dren, experience significant morbidity including respiratory complications, growth deficits and intestinal obstruction. Given that ... -
Provenance and flux of late quaternary sediment, Southeast Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2002)The major sediment routing systems of Southeastern Ireland in the vicinity of the Leinster Massif were examined and quantified. Samples were taken from four of the major river systems, the Avoca, Barrow, Liffey and Slaney ... -
Public awareness and performance relating to the implementation of a low-carbon economy in China: a case study from Zhengzhou
(2011)This paper aims to examine levels of awareness and performance relating to the promotion of a Low-carbon economy (LCE) among the general public in Zhengzhou, China. The data and information used were derived from 300 ... -
The public health importance of Ascaris lumbricoides
(2000)Numerous studies have shown that anthelminthic treatment can be effective in improving growth rates when given to malnourished children with ascariasis. Recent investigations have also indicated that Ascaris infections can ... -
The public health significance of Trichuris trichiura
(2000)An estimated 1049 million persons harbour T. trichiura, including 114 million preschool-age children and 233 million school-age children. The prevalence of T. trichiura is high and may reach 95% in children in many parts ... -
A Putative fossil zygomycetous fungus with mantled zygosporangia and apposed gametangia from the lower coal measures (Carboniferous) of Great Britain
(2013)Several specimens of a new fungal reproductive unit, Halifaxia taylorii nov. gen. et spec., occur within the tracheids of a structurally preserved fern axis from the Lower Pennsylvanian of Great Britain. The reproductive ...
