Soft sediment ecology of Lough Hyne Marine Reserve - spatial and temporal patterns
… temporal scales. Investigations took place at Lough Hyne Marine Reserve using a range of methods. Data on the sedimentation rates of organic and inorganic matter were collected at monthly intervals for one year at a number of sites around the Lough, by use of vertical midwater-column sediment …

Variation in parasitism of intertidal invertebrates, with a focus on trematodes on the southwest of Ireland
… defined by the Water Framework Directive, and Lough Hyne Marine Reserve, Co. Cork. Large variation in parasite richness and abundance was observed between gastropod species, months and sites sampled. The Ragworm, Hediste diversicolor, and green shore crab Carcinus maenas were surveyed in three …

The importance of interaction strength for food web dynamics and ecosystem functioning
… such an approach, through experimentation at Lough Hyne marine reserve, in southwest Ireland. Complex communities were allowed to develop naturally in exclusion cages, with only the diversity of top trophic levels controlled. Species removals were carried out and the resulting changes to …

Ecotoxicology of marine biotoxins in bivalve shellfish
… for the passive sampling of algal biotoxins at Lough Hyne Marine Nature Reserve in West Cork, Ireland. Spatial and temporal monitoring of the incidence of a wide range of lipophilic toxins was assessed over a 4-month period. Active sampling accumulated sufficient quantities of toxin for use in …

The effects of an invasive species on the structure of native ecosystems
… was the dominant barnacle species within Lough Hyne marine reserve and on artificial structures surveyed in south-west Ireland. Despite this dominance, native barnacle species continue to persist both in the marine reserve and on artificial structures of varying ages. The continuous …

Marine bacteria as a source of polyester-degrading enzymes with biocatalytic potential
… isolated from a sea sponge sample collected at Lough Hyne. MarCE was shown to hydrolyze polycaprolactone diol and putative binding of PET oligomers was demonstrated by molecular docking analysis. The work presented on BgP, SM14est, and MarCE makes a case for the continued exploration of …
