Wildlife Trade in the Digital Age: The Role of the Internet in Monitoring the Trade in Wild Plants and Animals in Thailand
The legal and illegal trade in wildlife is a multi-dollar industry that has detrimental impacts on species biodiversity, especially exacerbated in the 21st century as a result of increased globalisation and Internet accessibility. In this thesis, I aim to develop the understanding of wildlife trade …

Scaling Up and Exploring Marsh (SUEM)
An ecosystem is a community of plants and animals. They support agricultural needs and provide clean air and water. However, recent environmental changes such as global warming and rising sea level caused a need to study these ecosystems. Ecological problems have the specificity of being dependent …

Unifying ecosystem concepts and mercury biomagnification in an estuarine environment using stable isotopes (delta-carbon-13 and delta nitrogen-15).
Isotope ratios of carbon (13C/12C) and nitrogen (15N/14N), on a parts per thousand (‰) basis relative to a standard, were used to trace carbon flows (delta 13C) and trophic positions of organisms (delta15N). Values of delta13C and delta15N were obtained for sediments, suspended particulate …
