THE INFLUENCE OF HABITAT HETEROGENEITY ON BIRD DIVERSITY IN IRISH FARMLAND

McMahon, J.. Barry

2008 Biology and Environment: Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy

doi:10.3318/BIOE.2008.108.1.1

The intensification and specialisation of agricultural practices have led to a widespread decline of farmland bird diversity across much of Europe. Increasing habitat heterogeneity at multiple spatial scales has been suggested as one possible strategy to reverse these declines. This study...

DARWIN'S IRISH CORRESPONDENCE

DeArce, Miguel

2008 Biology and Environment: Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy

doi:10.3318/BIOE.2008.108.1.43

Searches of Darwin's correspondence show that some 160 letters crossed between him and naturalists and others with an Irish address. While few in number, compared to Darwin's 14,000 other known letters, some of this correspondence provoked frequent exchanges between Darwin and his closest...
