• Baseline and stress-induced levels of corticosterone in male and female Afrotropical and European temperate stonechats during breeding 

  Apfelbeck, Beate; Helm, Barbara; Illera, Juan Carlos; Mortega, Kim G.; Smiddy, Patrick; Evans, Neil P. (BioMed Central, 2017-05-22)

  Latitudinal variation in avian life histories falls along a slow-fast pace of life continuum: tropical species produce small clutches, but have a high survival probability, while in temperate species the opposite pattern ...
• Limitation of grassland productivity by low temperature and seasonality of growth 

  Wingler, Astrid; Hennessy, Deirdre (Frontiers Media, 2016-07-27)

  The productivity of temperate grassland is limited by the response of plants to low temperature, affecting winter persistence and seasonal growth rates. During the winter, the growth of perennial grasses is restricted by ...
• Towards the development of a novel zero-discharge willow wastewater treatment system 

  McAuliffe, Fergus (University College Cork, 2016)

  Onsite wastewater treatment systems play a vital role in the protection of surface waters, groundwater and drinking water supplies. In areas of low subsoil permeability, where traditional onsite systems are not appropriate, ...
• Impact of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on root colonization potential and life cycle of Rhizophagus irregularis following co-entrapment in alginate beads. 

  Demortier, M.; Loján, P.; Velivelli, Siva L. S.; Pfeiffer, S.; Suárez, J. P.; de Vos, P.; Doyle Prestwich, Barbara; Sessitsch, A.; Declerck, S. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2016-12-29)

  Aims: This study aimed at evaluating the impact of seven plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on root colonization and life cycle of Rhizophagus irregularis MUCL 41833 when co-entrapped in alginate beads. Methods ...
• Distribution, abundance and habitat use of deep diving cetaceans in the North-East Atlantic 

  Rogan, Emer; Cañadas, Ana; Macleod, Kelly; Santos, M. Begoña; Mikkelsen, Bjarni; Uriarte, Ainhize; Van Canneyt, Olivier; Vázquez, José Antonio; Hammond, Philip S. (Elsevier, 2017-04-07)

  In spite of their oceanic habitat, deep diving cetacean species have been found to be affected by anthropogenic activities, with potential population impacts of high intensity sounds generated by naval research and oil ...
