The effects of regional weather patterns on the migration of birds and Lepidoptera to a coastal migration “hotspot” in East Kent and possible changes in occurrence in response to global climate change (2022)
Thesis
Lee, G. The effects of regional weather patterns on the migration of birds and Lepidoptera to a coastal migration “hotspot” in East Kent and possible changes in occurrence in response to global climate change. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The phenomenon of long-distance migration is an important strategy for the survival of many species by maximising chances of breeding success in different climates. By analysing past literature covering the effects of weather on migration, a research...

Urban green infrastructures: an assessment of urban bird diversity, abundance and behaviour associated with green walls and street trees in Manchester and Salford, UK. (2022)
Thesis
Morton, L. Urban green infrastructures: an assessment of urban bird diversity, abundance and behaviour associated with green walls and street trees in Manchester and Salford, UK. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Urbanisation is a worldwide process with serious wellbeing impacts on people and wildlife. Reconciliation ecology, a novel approach to conservation, is particularly relevant for urban conservation as new habitats can be established and maintained. St...

A wetland vulnerability assessment : consequences for the avian communities of saltmarshes (2020)
Thesis
Alexander, D. A wetland vulnerability assessment : consequences for the avian communities of saltmarshes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Understanding better the consequences of anthropogenic pressure and environmental change is a substantial area of research for modern conservation ecology. This aim of this research is to investigate these consequences for the avian communities of sa...

Consideration of possible futures for peri-urban sites based on restabilising ecosystem processes : rewilding nature and people (2020)
Thesis
Bradley, T. Consideration of possible futures for peri-urban sites based on restabilising ecosystem processes : rewilding nature and people. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Inadequate funding, the shifting baseline syndrome phenomena, and the prescribe and protect approach to conservation collectively hinders ecosystem function. Rewilding offers an alternative solution without the same limitations. While it is documente...

Making decisions about the future of health systems (2012)
Thesis

Introduction: Sustainability of health interventions in developing countries has been limited
by the capacities of their health systems. As a result, efforts have been invested by the
international community to make health systems thinking coherent... Read More about Making decisions about the future of health systems.

Linking sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) together with ecosystem services and disservices : new connections in urban ecology
Thesis
Chunglim, M. (in press). Linking sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) together with ecosystem services and disservices : new connections in urban ecology. (Thesis). University of Salford

Increased flooding, urban diffuse pollution and habitat fragmentation are predicted as the climate changes and urbanisation increases; all will affect human and wildlife well-being negatively. Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) have the potential t...
