Short-term foetal immobility temporally and progressively affects chick spinal curvature and anatomy and rib development
(2019)Congenital spine deformities may be influenced by movements in utero, but the effects of foetal immobility on spine and rib development remain unclear. The purpose of the present study was to determine (1) critical time-periods ... -
The significance of cerebral toxocariasis: a model system for exploring the link between brain involvement, behaviour and the immune response
(2013)Toxocara canis is a parasitic nematode that infects canines worldwide, and as a consequence of the widespread environmental dissemination of its ova in host faeces, other abnormal hosts including mice and humans are exposed ... -
Silicon and chromium stable isotopic systematics during basalt weathering and lateritisation: A comparison of variably weathered basalt profiles in the Deccan Traps, India
(2018)Global biomass production is fundamentally affected by the hydrological cycling of elements at the Earth’s surface. Continental weathering processes are the major source for most bio-essential elements in marine environments ... -
Silicon Valley in Eastern Slovakia? Neo-liberalism, knowledge economy and post-socialism.
(2013)The essay critically examines the prospect of emulating a Silicon Valley-style regional development in the post-socialist context of East-Central Europe. It underlines the problematic nature of the Silicon Valley concept ... -
Simplifying and improving the extraction of nitrate from freshwater for stable isotope analyses
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011)Determining the isotopic composition of nitrate (NO3 ) in water can prove useful to identify NO3 sources and to understand its dynamics in aquatic systems. Among the procedures available, the `ion-exchange resin method? ... -
Simultaneous eruptions from multiple vents at Campi Flegrei (Italy) highlight new eruption processes at calderas
(2016)Volcanic eruptions are typically characterized by the rise and discharge of magma at the surface through a single conduit-vent system. However, in some cases, the rise of magma can be triggered by the activation of eruptive ... -
Single cell analysis of tail regeneration in Ambystoma mexicanum
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2003)This present study examined tail regeneration in the Mexican salamander Ambystoma mexicanum, on a single cell level in vivo. The primary aim of this study was to understand where the cells were coming from to replace all ... -
Small islands and large biogeographic barriers have driven contrasting speciation patterns in Indo-Pacific sunbirds (Aves: Nectariniidae)
(2022)Birds of the Indo-Pacific have provided biologists with many foundationalinsights. This study presents evidence for strong phylogeographic structure in two sunbird species from the heart of this region, the olive-backed ... -
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 ... -
Social media and housing activism in post-crisis Dublin: Geographies of digital/material contention
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2022)This thesis focuses on housing contention in Dublin since the global financial crisis. More specifically, it is an empirically grounded socio-technical investigation of the relation between contention and the digital?s ... -
The social practices of hosting P2P social dining events: Insights for sustainable tourism,
