Avian speciation and biodiversity in South-east Sulawesi, Indonesia: drivers of diversification
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2019)As biodiversity loss reaches critical levels, greater knowledge of its distribution is needed to concentrate conservation efforts. Biodiversity can be measured at several levels, with the species typically the unit used ... -

Enhancing Network Performance and Consumer Experience in Named Data Networking (NDN)
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2020)Named Data Networking (NDN) is an Information-Centric Networking (ICN) architecture proposed as an alternative to the current Internet infrastructure. Using the publish-subscribe paradigm and a standardised naming scheme, ... -
Factors influencing when species are first named and estimating global species richness
(2015)Estimates of global species richness should consider what factors influence the rate of species discovery at global scales. However, past studies only considered regional scales and/or samples representing <0.4% of all ... -
A General-Purpose Taxonomy of Computer-Augmented Sports Systems
(IGI Global, 2009)The area of computer-augmented sports is large and complex and spans several disciplines. This chapter presents a general-purpose taxonomy of computer-augmented sports systems, which is intended to assist researchers and ... -

Progress and perspectives in the discovery of polychaete worms (Annelida) of the world
(2019)Despite the availability of well-documented data, a comprehensive review of the discovery progress of polychaete worms (Annelida) has never been done. In the present study, we reviewed available data in the World Register ... -
Progress in the discovery of amphipod crustaceans
(2018)At present, amphipod crustaceans comprise 9,980 species, 1,664 genera, 444 subfamilies, and 221 families. Of these, 1,940 species (almost 20%) have been discovered within the last decade, including 18 fossil records for ... -
Small islands and large biogeographic barriers have driven contrasting speciation patterns in Indo-Pacific sunbirds (Aves: Nectariniidae)
(2022)Birds of the Indo-Pacific have provided biologists with many foundationalinsights. This study presents evidence for strong phylogeographic structure in two sunbird species from the heart of this region, the olive-backed ... -
