Biogeography in the deep: Hierarchical population genomic structure of two beaked whale species
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-10-14)The deep sea is the largest ecosystem on Earth, yet little is known about the processes driving patterns of genetic diversity in its inhabitants. Here, we investigated the macro- and microevolutionary processes shaping ... -
Language teaching and learning in Ireland: 2012–2021
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-11-03)The language teaching landscape in Ireland has changed considerably over the last 30 years as a result of substantial and sustained inward migration into the country during this period. These social and demographic ... -
Microplastics in brown trout (Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758) from an Irish riverine system
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-01)Rivers play an important role in the overall transport of microplastic pollution (1 μm to 5 mm), with fluvial dynamics expected to influence biotic interactions, particularly for fish. So far, there have been few assessments ... -
Size dependent egestion of polyester fibres in the Dublin Bay Prawn (Nephrops norvegicus)
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-05-24)Microplastics (MPs) are an extensive global contaminant in the marine environment, known to be ingested by marine organisms. The presence of MPs in the commercially important marine decapod crustacean Nephrops norvegicus ... -
Plastics, prawns, and patterns: Microplastic loadings in Nephrops norvegicus and surrounding habitat in the North East Atlantic
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-02-21)The presence of microplastics (MPs), a contaminant of emerging concern, has attracted increasing attention in commercially important seafood species such as Nephrops norvegicus. This species lend themselves well as ... -
Assessing stone walls habitat quality – Which factors affect bryophytes and macrolichens on farmland stone walls in Ireland?
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-05-11)Stone walls are ubiquitous field boundaries used to restrict livestock movement or to separate property. Bryophytes and lichens are often the dominant vegetation in dry stone walls and are strongly affected by local ... -
Understanding maritime transport route choice among Irish exporters: A latent class approach
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-01-11)The reduction in the level of maritime connectivity between Ireland and mainland Europe has been the focus of concern for Irish exporters since the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union in January 2019. ... -
A landscape classification map of Ireland and its potential use in national land use monitoring
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-04-17)This study presents a novel landscape classification map of the Republic of Ireland and is the first to identify broad landscape classes by incorporating physiographic and land cover data. The landscape classification ... -
Incorporation of roe, milt and liver from plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), herring (Clupea harengus) and cod (Gadus morhua) in newly developed seafood Pâtés: Sensory evaluation by teenage consumers in Ireland and their attitudes to seafood
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-04-07)Roe, milt and liver of marine fish caught in Irish fisheries are generally discarded at sea or processed on-shore as low-value fishmeal. This study aimed to 1) develop new added-value seafood products using roe, milt and ... -
Circles in the sea: annual courtship “torus” behaviour of basking sharks Cetorhinus maximus identified in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2022-08-05)Groups of basking sharks engaged in circling behaviour are rarely observed, and their function remains enigmatic in the absence of detailed observations. Here, underwater and aerial video recordings of multiple circling ... -
Drones can reliably, accurately and with high levels of precision, collect large volume water samples and physio-chemical data from lakes
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-02-15)The rapid development and application of drone technology has included water sampling and collection of physiochemical data from lakes. Previous research has demonstrated the significant potential of drones to play a future ... -
Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy with annular plasmas in vacuo: Stagnation and limits of detection
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-04-29)The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible improvement of the limit of detection of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy using the stagnation layer formed at the centre of an annular plasma. An axicon was ... -
Advances in multifunctional balanced ventilation technology for dwellings and arising challenge to quantify energy efficiency and renewable generation contributions using international test standards
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-12)This paper evaluates the ability of EN16573:2017 to isolate and quantify the energy efficiency and renewable generation contributions of multifunctional balanced ventilation systems. These systems integrate an air-source ... -
A review of dystrophic lake and pool habitat in Europe: An Irish perspective
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-05-13)Freshwater lakes and pools contained within peatlands are unique habitats that support rare and specialised species. Despite this, these ecosystems have been overlooked in conservation and management practices. One of these ... -

(Atlantic Technological University, 2022-05)Background: In today’s increasingly information and digital age there is widespread use of search engines and social network sites. The use of this media form seems to be ubiquitous as it cuts across all age groups, social ... -
Does Landscape Structure Affect the Presence of Woodland Specialist Pollinators in Farmland? Implications for Agri-Environment Scheme Design
(Royal Irish Academy, 2022-03-16)Some pollinator species found in agricultural areas are strongly dependent on surrounding areas of natural or semi-natural habitats to nest and/or forage. Landscape structure has been shown to influence pollinator communities ... -
