Abstract:

Molinia caerulea, the purple moor grass is widely distributed and morphologically variable. Its occurrence on well-drained Ca'+-rich alkaline Leblanc waste is unusual since the grass normally has a calcifuge habit and grows an wet acid peaty soils. Molinia is deciduous losing its leaves after the formation of an abscission zone. Leaf abscission in grasses is rare. This project aims, therefore, (a) to investigate the anatomy of leaf abscission in Molinia using scanning electron microscopy; (b) to quantify and explain morphological and biochemical differences which occur between two populations

Abstract:

For decades, Borneo's once extensive and pristine forests have been increasingly exposed to a suite of anthropogenic disturbance and deforestation processes as a result of selective and illegal logging, hunting, droughts, fires and the conversion to plantations, chiefly oil palm. Such disturbance is likely impacting the Sunda clouded leopard, Neofelis diardi, and other threatened, sympatric Bornean felids, yet few studies have attempted to address these issues. In this thesis, I used data from intensive camera trap surveys throughout Sabah, Malaysian Borneo and high-resolution GPS data from ta

Abstract:

An experimental study of laboratory populations of the stored-products moth, Cadra cautella (Lepidoptera: Phycitidae) and its larval parasitoid, Venturia canescens (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) identified and quantified density- and age-dependent demographic characteristics of the host-parasitoid system. Host imago longevity and fecundity depended on larval weight at pupation. Observed effects of C. cautella larval competition for food on larval mortality, stage duration, and weight at pupation were successfully captured in a mathematical model. Host larval age significantly influenced inter-st

Abstract:

Arterial pathology is one of the main contributors to cardiovascular diseases and mortality. Several studies have been done to investigate the association between changes in arterial dimensions and cardiovascular risk factors. During the process of ageing, the structural and functional properties and capabilities of arteries are altered. The arterial lumen increases with age and thus the arterial diameter could be used as an indicator for the overall ageing process. Researchers have reported sexual dimorphism in arterial dimensions for several arteries. Body size may confound the effect of se

Five aspects of the complications associated with the interpretation of pitfall trapping and mark-release-recapture studies were investigated: (i) baiting of the traps by the catch itself, (ii) escape ability of captured beetles, (iii) change

An assessment of the nutritional status of a representative sample of an urban African population has not previously been conducted, nor the extent to which the traditional diet has been abandoned for a western diet.

Particular attention was paid to specific at-risk groups viz. preschoolers (aged 3 - 6 years; N=163), adolescents (aged 15 - 18 years; N=119) and adults (19 - 44 years; N=649).

Semi-natural wet grassland communities are rapidly disappearing from the farmed landscape. Protection of remaining areas and restoration of degraded areas has become a priority with organisations concerned with the conservation of biodiversity in the U.K. The research described in this thesis provides an insight into the community dynamics of one particularly rare plant community, the Cirsio-Molinietum fen meadow (NVC M24).

The very old, aged 80 years and over, is the fastest growing age group today, and the demands for healthcare and services will be even higher in the future. It is, therefore, of great importance to advance our knowledge about this group.
