Habit suitability assessment of constructed wetlands for the Smooth Newt (Lissotriton vulgaris [Linnaeus, 1758]): a comparison with natural wetlands
Mulkeen, Collette J.; Gibson-Brabazon, S.; Carlin, C..; Williams, C.D.; Healy, Mark G.; Mackey, P.; Gormally, Michael J. (Elsevier, 2017-06-22)Given the current decline of natural wetlands worldwide and the consequent negative impacts on amphibians, wetlands constructed for the treatment of wastewaters have the potential to play a role in the protection of these ... -
Indicators of diptera diversity in wet grassland habitats are influenced by environmental variability, scale of observation, and habitat type
Carey, John G.J.; Brien, Shane; Williams, Christopher D.; Gormally, Michael J. (Elsevier BV, 2017-11-01)In low intensity agri-ecosystems such as wet grassland habitats, the inclusion of invertebrates in conservation assessments and monitoring is usually limited to charismatic groups such as bees or butterflies. However, wet ... -
Nematode associates and susceptibility of a protected slug (geomalacus maculosus) to four biocontrol nematodes
Carnaghi, Manuela; Rae, Robbie; De Ley, Irma Tandingan; Johnston, Erin; Kindermann, Gesche; Mc Donnell, Rory; O’Hanlon, Aidan; Reich, Inga; Sheahan, Jerome; Williams, Christopher D.; Gormally, Michael J. (Informa UK Limited, 2017-02-01)The impact of selected entomopathogenic nematodes and Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita on the European-Union-protected slug Geomalacus maculosus and the sympatric Lehmannia marginata was investigated. There was no significant ... -
Quantifying phenotype-environment matching in the protected kerry spotted slug (mollusca: gastropoda) using digital photography: exposure to uv radiation determines cryptic colour morphs
O’Hanlon, Aidan; Feeney, Kristina; Dockery, Peter; Gormally, Michael J. (Springer Nature, 2017-07-10)Background: Animal colours and patterns commonly play a role in reducing detection by predators, social signalling or increasing survival in response to some other environmental pressure. Different colour morphs can evolve ... -
Sciomyzidae (Diptera) assemblages in constructed and natural wetlands: implications for constructed wetland design.
Mulkeen, Collette J.; Gormally, Michael J.; Swaney, William T.; Healy, Mark G.; Williams, Christopher David (Springer, 2023-12-08)Wetlands constructed primarily for the treatment of wastewaters have been shown to have a role in enhancing biodiversity. However, while most biodiversity studies of constructed wetlands focus on the larger, more iconic ...
