Field enhancement of the parasitoid bracon hylobii (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to control hylobius abietis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae); the large pine weevil
(2012)
Hylobius abietis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the large pine weevil is the most damaging pest of reforestation sites in Ireland. This study examined the possibility of manipulating populations of a species specific parasitoid, ...
Taxonomy of the Lysianassoidea of the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean : an interactive identification key and studies on problematic groups
(2006)
A DELTA (DEscriptive Language for TAxonomy) database was constructed for 135 species of lysianassoid amphipods of the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, representing almost 20% of the total estimated number of ...
An assessment of biological and population parameters of the Common whelk, Buccinum undatum (L.) in the region of the North West Irish whelk fishery
(2006)
The Common whelk, Buccinum undatum (L.) is a conspicuous benthic scavenger in Irish waters, and is a valuable fisheries resource in South East Ireland. B. undatum is fished in many parts of its range, and previous studies ...
Age, growth and population dynamics of lemon sole Microstomus kitt (Walbaum 1792) sampled off the West Coast of Ireland
(2002)
The age, growth, maturity and population dynamics of lemon sole (Microstomus kitt), captured off the west coast of Ireland (ICES division Vllb), were determined for the period November 2000 to February 2002. The maximum ...
A phytochemical study of ilex and betula species
(1999)
A phytochemical study of the outer bark of native common holly (Ilex aquifolium), led to the isolation and identification of nine novel fatty acid esters of the pentacyclic triterpene a-amyrin. These compounds were the ...
Invariant natural killer T-cell anergy to endogenous myelin acetyl-glycolipids in multiple sclerosis
(Elsevier, 2013)
Objective: To extend our studies on the glycolipid-reactive invariant Natural Killer T-cell (iNKT-cell) function in multiple sclerosis (MS), we investigated the stimulatory activities of two myelin-derived glycolipids which ...
Population genetic structure of brown crab (Cancer pagurus) in Irish waters
(2009)
The brown crab (Cancer pagurus) fishery in Ireland is one of the most important financially and socio-economically, with the species worth approximately €15m per year in the first half of the decade. Only mackerel (Scomber ...
Investigation into the early life history of the European flounder (Platichthys flesus L.) with special emphasis in Galway Bay, Irish West Coast
(2012)
European flounder (Platichthys flesus L.) economic value is estimated to be worth over 68 million to the Irish economy (mainly from recreational angling activities). Despite such large species value, there is a considerable ...
Genetic variability and phylogeography of the invasive zebra mussel, dreissena polymorpha (PALLAS)
(2005)
The zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas), a bivalve species originally native to the Black and Caspian seas, has invaded Ireland in the last decade. Five microsatellite loci were used to investigate genetic diversity ...
Diverse populations of T cells with NK cell receptors accumulate in the human intestine in health and in colorectal cancer
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, 2004)
T cells expressing NK cell receptors (NKR) display rapid MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity and potent cytokine secretion and are thought to play roles in immunity against tumors. We have quantified and characterized NKR+ T ...
