Chromosomal inversions and common quail diversification in Macaronesian archipelagos and the mainland
… presence of the inversion in the Macaronesian archipelagos could explain the presence of different subspecies. Therefore, we characterized the common quail population in the Azores, the most geographically remote of these archipelagos, where this avian lineage has been evolving in isolation for …

Statistical field estimation and scale estimation for complex coastal regions and archipelagos
… complex, multiply-connected, coastal regions and archipelagos. A reasonably accurate correlation function often requires an estimate of the distance between data and model points, without going across complex land-forms. New methods for OA based on estimating the length of optimal shortest sea …

Mapping of Digital Connectivity and Island Governance: A Comparative Study of the Scottish Archipelagos and Irish Islands.
… the devolved system experienced in the Scottish archipelagos and the centralized Irish system. Differences were also found between islands with local government i.e., island-based Councils in the Scottish archipelagos, to islands under the jurisdiction of a mainland-based Council i.e., the …

Archipelagos of Interstitial Ground: A Filmic Investigation of the Thames Gateway’s Edgelands. How Can a Multimodal (Auto)ethnographic Methodology Be Deployed to Shape Geographic Imaginations of The Thames Gateway?
… as interconnected phenomena, stitching together ‘archipelagos of interstitial ground’. This along with the idea of landscape ethnography can then be adopted as a methodology to develop an immersive form of virtual exploration that can utilise developing forms of media dissemination to explore the …

Adaptation and differentiation across island populations of Berthelot’s pipit (Anthus berthelotii)
… to the Canary Islands, Selvagens and Madeira archipelagos. To achieve this, I examined variation in pathogen infection, neutral microsatellites and functional major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes. I first reviewed previous evidence for pathogen-mediated selection at the MHC, and showed …

Speciation and diversification of the beetle tribe Cratopini on the islands of the South West Indian Ocean area.
… multiple colonisation events across islands and archipelagos. Flight is found to have been lost on multiple occasions and the taxonomy of the group is discussed. Finally many Cratopine lineages are found to display strong population structure despite being flighted, possible reasons for this are …

The spatial scale of immune gene variation within and among bottlenecked populations
… islands of the Canary, Selvagens and Madeira archipelagos. I first investigated the evolution of key innate immune genes among the populations that the pipits inhabit. I found that while demographic history has played the major role in shaping patterns of among population variation at …
