• Developmental age and UV-B exposure co-determine antioxidant capacity and flavonol accumulation in Arabidopsis leaves 

  Csepregi, Kristóf; Coffey, Aoife; Cunningham, Natalie; Prinsen, Els; Hideg, Éva; Jansen, Marcel A. K. (Elsevier, 2017-05-17)

  Developmental age is an important determinant of plant stress responses. In this study the importance of “within-individual-heterogeneity” of developmental age for plant UV-B responses was quantified. Arabidopsis thaliana ...
• Exploring the hidden landscape of female preferences for complex signals 

  Reichert, Michael S.; Finck, Jonas; Ronacher, Bernhard (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. on behalf of the Society for the Study of Evolution, 2017-03-01)

  A major challenge in evolutionary biology is explaining the origins of complex phenotypic diversity. In animal communication, complex signals may evolve from simpler signals because novel signal elements exploit preexisting ...
• Biodiversity of shallow subtidal, under-rock invertebrates in Europe's first marine reserve: Effects of physical factors and scientific sampling 

  Trowbridge, Cynthia D.; Kachmarik, Katy; Plowman, Caitlin Q.; Little, Colin; Stirling, Penny; McAllen, Rob (Elsevier, 2016-12-27)

  At Lough Hyne Marine Reserve in SW Ireland, shallow subtidal, under-rock biodiversity was investigated to assess (i) any deleterious effects of scientific sampling and (ii) quantitative baseline community patterns. Comparisons ...
• Short-term losses and long-term gains: The non-native species Austrominius modestus in Lough Hyne Marine Nature Reserve 

  Gallagher, Mary C.; Culloty, Sarah C.; Davenport, John; Harman, Luke; Jessopp, Mark J.; Kerrigan, Caroline; Murray, Colette; O'Riordan, Ruth M.; McAllen, Rob (Elsevier, 2017-04-18)

  The non-native barnacle species Austrominius modestus was first recorded in Ireland, close to Lough Hyne marine nature reserve in 1957. This species was not recorded inside the Lough until 1980, but by 2001 was the dominant ...
• Where's the transformation? Unlocking the potential of technology-enhanced assessment 

  Sweeney, Trudy; West, Deborah; Groessler, Anthea; Haynie, Aeron; Higgs, Bettie Matheson; Macaulay, Janet; Mercer-Mapstone, Lucy; Yeo, Michelle (International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISSOTL), 2017)

  This study provides insight into technology-enhanced assessment (TEA) in diverse higher education contexts. The effectiveness of using technology for assessment in higher education is still equivocal, particularly in regard ...
