The importance of interaction strength for food web dynamics and ecosystem functioning
… 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 predator-prey interactions, …

Gelatinous zooplankton dynamics in Bantry Bay and the development of a harmful jellyfish forecast for the salmon aquaculture industry
… years at a site in proximity to a salmon farm in southwest Ireland. The hindcast model successfully predicted all M. atlantica events (n = 3) over the three and a half year study. An important finding was that the model did not generate any false positives and each M. atlantica event (defined as …
