Wanted Dead or Alive: Skeletal Structure Alteration of Cold-Water Coral Desmophyllum pertusum (Lophelia pertusa) from Anthropogenic Stressors
(2023)Ocean acidification (OA) has provoked changes in the carbonate saturation state that may alter the formation and structural biomineralisation of calcium carbonate exoskeletons for marine organisms. Biomineral production ... -
Was the latest Devonian glaciation a multiple event? New palynological evidence from Bolivia
(2011)Assemblages of acritarchs, prasinophytes, and miospores were recovered from the uppermost Iquiri and lower portion of the Itacua formations in southeast Bolivia. Analysis of the diverse and somewhat abundant well-preserved ... -
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 ... -

Western banks in Eastern Europe: New geographies of financialisation (GEOFIN research agenda)
(2017)GEOFIN research agenda: Financialisation, or the growing power of finance over societies and economies, is increasingly recognised as the key feature of contemporary capitalism. However, significant ... -
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 ... -
What role for citizens? Evolving engagement in quadruple helix smart district initiatives
(2023)Globally, smart city initiatives are becoming increasingly ubiquitous elements of complex, sociotechnical urban systems. While there is general agreement that cities cannot be smart without citizen involvement, the ... -

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 ... -
Woodland vegetation change through space and time : impacts of large herbivores
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2014)Semi-natural woodlands are a globally important ecosystem. The functioning of these woodlands are being impacted through a range of anthropogenic activities, which induce vegetation changes, including climate change, ...
