Predictions for the spread, population density and impacts of Corbicula fluminea in Ireland
(2012)In 2010, the Asian clam, Corbicula fluminea, was found for the first time in Ireland. The species is considered to be one of the most aggressive freshwater invaders causing strong economic and ecological impacts. This ... -
Profiling of the molecular weight and structural isomer abundance of macroalgae-derived phlorotannins
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2015)Phlorotannins are a group of complex polymers of phloroglucinol (1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene) unique to macroalgae. These phenolic compounds are integral structural components of the cell wall in brown algae, but also play ... -
Recent archaeological discoveries in Dunmore Cave, County Kilkenny : further questions regarding Viking activity at the site
(Kilkenny Archaeological Society, 2007)Recent archaeological monitoring in Dunmore Cave resulted in the recovery of a quantity of human bones, animal bones and artefacts. The first radiocarbon dates for human remains from the site were obtained and, overall, ... -
