The Minquiers and Écréhous reefs are located in different parts of the Gulf ofSt Malo between the British island of Jersey and the French mainland. As a part of the Bailiwick of Jersey, they are geographically very close to the international sea border between Jersey...
HOLM OAK’S ROLE IN SHAPING COASTAL DUNE ECOSYSTEMS: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF VEGETATION AND SPECIES COMPOSITION
This study investigates the ecological impact of Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) (HO) on dune ecosystems, focusing on its influence on vegetation cover, species richness, and species composition across different proximity levels (1m, 5m, and 20m from the tree) and dune types...
Seasonal trends in European lobster (Homarus gammarus), spider crab (Maja brachydactyla), and brown crab (Cancer pagurus) populations in the Bailiwick of Jersey (Channel Islands) and the relevance to environmental and biological parameters
The thesis examined the variation in Landings Per Unit Effort (LPUE) as an indicator of activity for three commercially significant species in Jersey, those being, European lobster (Homarus gammarus), spider crab (Maja brachydactyla), and brown crab (Cancer pagurus)....
A comparative analysis of bottlenose dolphin and harbour porpoise foraging patterns in Jersey, Channel Islands
This study investigated bottlenose dolphin and harbour porpoise spatial and temporal foraging patterns in the Channel Islands, with a particular focus on Jersey's waters. Through analysis of cetacean foraging behaviours using Chelonia’s Full-Waveform Capture Porpoise...
Population ecology of the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) in a fragmented woodland ecosystem on the Island of Jersey, Channel Islands
The Channel Island of Jersey is 116 km2 but has only 540 ha of woodland distributed in 237 wooded fragments with mean size of 2.5 ha. Despite this, the island supports 300 to 600 red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris, a species that is under threat in mainland Britain from...
Chronostratigraphy and ecology of two Middle and Upper Pleistocene sites (Jersey,Channel Islands)
Thanks to their coastal location on what is now an island on the continental shelf, the two early Middle Palaeolithic sites of La Cotte à la Chèvre and La Cotte de St Brelade are especially sensitive to environmental change. The former is a small sea-cave cut during a...
