• The use of airborne ultrasound for Varroa destructor mite control in beehives 

  Barry, Brendan C.; Verstraten, Lindy; Butler, Fidelma T.; Whelan, Padraig M.; Wright, William M.D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-10)

  The declining health of honey bee (Apis mellifera) populations is of global concern, as they are arguably the most important pollinator insect. The Varroa destructor mite weakens bees by sucking their haemolymph and spreads ...
• The effect of management practices on bumblebee densities in hedgerow and grassland habitats 

  Byrne, Fiach; delBarco-Trillo, Javier (Elsevier GmbH, 2018-11-28)

  Large-scale declines in pollinator species are a concern at present. Such declines have been attributed to a range of factors that act in tandem, rather than in isolation. Some of the most pervasive factors affecting ...
• Developing and assessing methods to census and monitor burrow-nesting seabirds in Ireland 

  Arneill, Gavin Euan (University College Cork, 2018)

  Censusing and monitoring populations are key priorities in conservation. This is particularly challenging for seabirds, where several life history characteristics and the remote nature of breeding colonies of many species ...
• Liana abundance and relationships to sapling and tree hosts in an East African primary forest 

  Laurentino T.G.; Baur J.; Usui T.; Eichhorn Markus P. (Wiley, 2019)

  Lianas are an important structural component of tropical rain forests. Recent concern regarding a putative global rise in liana abundance, and its implications for forest conservation, calls for data collection across ...
• Responses to global change in a river passerine 

  Fernández-Bellon, Darío (University College Cork, 2018)

  Human-induced environmental change is affecting biodiversity across the world. River systems and species associated with these habtitats are particularly vulnerable to the different drivers of global change (e.g. land use, ...
