• Does the restoration of shallow marginal peatlands impact on the distribution and abundance of Bog Asphodel? 

  Hand, AMS (University of Exeter Geography, 19 October 2020)

  Healthy functional peatlands sequester carbon and are therefore important in the mitigation of climate change. In the United Kingdom 80% of peatland has been damaged by anthropogenic activities such as drainage and peat ...

• The evolution of intergroup discrimination and colony fusion in a primitive termite, Zootermopsis angusticollis 

  Padget, R (University of Exeter College of Life and Environmental Sciences, 19 October 2020)

  Groups of animals interact in a variety of different ways, from lethal conflict to cooperation and fusion. While intergroup conflict is relatively widely studied, the mechanisms and selective forces underpinning cooperation ...

• Quantifying the temperature independent controls of nocturnal plant respiration 

  Newman, F (University of Exeter Physical Geography, 28 September 2020)

  Autotrophic respiration is a critical determinant of plant, ecosystem and global carbon exchange, constituting a major control on the evolution of the contemporary carbon cycle with the potential to modulate the magnitude ...

• Performance Counter Measurements of Data Structures: Implementations for Multi-Objective Optimisation 

  Candia, S (University of Exeter Computer Science, 28 September 2020)

  Solving multi-objective optimisation problems using evolutionary computation methods involve the implementation of algorithms and data structures for the storage of tempo- rary solutions. Computational efficiency of these ...

• Modelling the effect of different carbonate weathering rates on Earth system resilience 

  Cowling, D (University of Exeter Geography, 14 September 2020)

  Carbonate weathering is an important feedback to regulate the carbon cycle and climate of the Earth system. Focus of the behaviour of this feedback has been on geological scales. Little attention has been given to the ...
