Conserving diversity in Irish plant–pollinator networks
(2022)Beneficial insects provide valuable services upon which we rely, including pollination. Pollinator conservation is a global priority, and a significant concern in Ireland, where over half of extant bee species have declined ... -
Groundwater nitrate reduction versus dissolved gas production: A tale of two catchments
(2017)At the catchment scale, a complex mosaic of environmental, hydrogeological and physicochemical characteristics combine to regulate the distribution of groundwater and stream nitrate (NO3−). The efficiency of NO3− removal ... -
Ireland's Climate Change Assessment: Volume 4: Realising the Benefits of Transition and Transformation
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2023)Transformative change can deliver rapid, deep and sustained emissions reduction (mitigation, see Volume 2), build resilience to impacts (adaptation, see Volume 3) and deliver a range of benefits and opportunities. Such ... -
Meta-analysis reveals that pollinator functional diversity and abundance enhance crop pollination and yield
(2019)How insects promote crop pollination remains poorly understood in terms of the contribution of functional trait differences between species. We used meta-analyses to test for correlations between community abundance, species ... -
Plant protection product residues in plant pollen and nectar: a review of current knowledge
(2020)Exposure to Plant Protection Products, PPPs, (fungicides, herbicides and insecticides) is a significant stressor for bees and other pollinators, and has recently been the focus of intensive debate and research. Specifically, ...
