(Wiley, 2019-11-19)
(1) The short-beaked common dolphin is one of the most numerous cetacean species in the North-East Atlantic and plays a key functional role within the ecosystem as a top predator. However, in 2013, its conservation status ...
The Philosophy of Innovation in Management Education: A Study utilising Aristotle’s Concept of Phronesis
(2019)
While much has been written on phronesis, there is a dearth of empirical work on the how the concept can be developed and implemented in practice, particularly in an educational setting. To address this problem, characteristics ...
Green tides select for fast expanding Ulva strains
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-09-06)
Green tides, the phenomenon whereby large volume of marine environment is taken over by the sea lettuce Ulva spp, are a seasonal occurrence thought to be caused mainly by anthropogenic eutrophication. The aggravation of ...
