Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in seabird eggs in Ireland
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-06-19)
Seabird eggs are considered a favourable matrix for monitoring marine pollutants and are widely used as higher trophic level indicators. Concentrations of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Σ15PAH) were determined in the ...
The use of deep water berths and the effect of noise on bottlenose dolphins in the Shannon Estuary cSAC
(2016)
The Shannon Estuary on the west coast of Ireland is one of Europe’s premier deepwater berths catering for ships up to 200,000 deadweight tonnage. It is also Ireland’s only designated candidate special area of conservation ...
Temporal and spatial trends in stranding records of cetaceans on the Irish coast, 2002–2014
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2016)
Using Irish strandings data collected between 2002 and 2014, seasonal and annual trends in the number of strandings for all strandings identified to species level (N ¼ 1480), and for the five most frequently reported ...
Assessment of impulsive and continuous low- frequency noise in Irish waters
(Springer-Verlag, 2016)
As part of the European Union Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), member states are required to address noise pollution in the marine environment under Descriptor 11. This study aimed to provide a practical desk-based ...
Female reproductive parameters and population demographics of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland
(Springer, 2018-09)
Abstract
This study investigates the female reproductive parameters and population demographics of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops
truncatus) in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland, using long-term relational sightings and ...
Survival Rates and Capture Heterogeneity of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021-03-30)
Adult survival is arguably the most important demographic parameter for long-lived species as it has a large impact on population growth, and it can be estimated for cetacean populations using natural markings and ...
Assessment and monitoring of ocean noise in Irish waters
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2013)
This desk study was aimed to help Ireland meet the requirements of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) (2008/56/EC) under Descriptor 11: The introduction of energy, including underwater noise, is at levels that ...
Mucus: aiding elasmobranch conservation through non-invasive genetic sampling
(Endangered Species Research, 2013-09)
Large-scale genetic sampling by non-invasive methods is of vital importance for the conservation of vulnerable or elusive species. In the marine environment, non-invasive genetic sampling can provide a powerful alternative ...
A note on long-distance matches of bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus) around the Irish coast using photo-identification
(International Whaling Commission, 2009-01)
Images of 120 individual bottlenose dolphins from around the Irish coast were obtained from three photo-identification catalogues. Twenty three individuals were subsequently re-sighted, which is a re-sighting rate of 19%. ...
Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) social structure in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland, is distinguished by age- and area-related associations
(Society for Marine Mammalogy, 2018)
Social and network analyses that incorporate information on individuals within a population enhance our knowledge of complex species. In this study, the social structure of wild bottlenose dolphins in the Shannon Estuary, ...
