Hsing, P.-Y., Coghill, L., Ryder, J., Austin, M., Dooley, S., Ellison, A., Fenwick, C., Garland, M., Humphrey, P., Proudlock, H., Robson, A., Steer, C., Turnbull, L., Kent, V., Bradley, S., Hill, R., Ascroft, R., & Stephens, P. (2020). Citizen scientists: school students conducting, contributing to and communicating ecological research – experiences of a school–university partnership. School science review, 101(376), 67-74

Started in north-east England in 2015, MammalWeb aims to improve our knowledge of British mammals through the use of motion-sensing camera traps. Fundamental to the project is the involvement of local communities and individuals who act as citizen sc...

Journal Article
Docherty, T., Hethcoat, M., MacTavish, L., MacTavish, D., Dell, S., Stephens, P., & Willis, S. (2020). Burning savanna for avian species richness and functional diversity. Ecological Applications, 30(4), Article e02091. https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.2091

Prescribed fire is used throughout fire‐prone landscapes to conserve biodiversity. Current best practice in managing savanna systems advocates methods based on the assumption that increased fire‐mediated landscape heterogeneity (pyrodiversity) will p...

Best practice for collar deployment of tri-axial accelerometers on a terrestrial quadruped to provide accurate measurement of body acceleration (2020)
Journal Article
Dickinson, E., Stephens, P., Marks, N., Wilson, R., & Scantlebury, D. (2020). Best practice for collar deployment of tri-axial accelerometers on a terrestrial quadruped to provide accurate measurement of body acceleration. Animal Biotelemetry, 8, Article 9. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-020-00198-9

Background: Tri-axial accelerometers are frequently deployed on terrestrial quadrupedal mammals using collars, because they are easy to fit and are thought to have minimal impact on the subject. Collar-attached devices are not fixed to the body and c...

Splitting and recombination of bright-solitary-matter waves (2020)
Journal Article
Wales, O. J., Rakonjac, A., Billam, T. P., Helm, J. L., Gardiner, S. A., & Cornish, S. L. (2020). Splitting and recombination of bright-solitary-matter waves. Communications Physics, 3, Article 51. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42005-020-0320-8

Atomic Bose–Einstein condensates confined in quasi-1D waveguides can support bright-solitary-matter waves when interatomic interactions are sufficiently attractive to cancel dispersion. Such solitary-matter waves are excellent candidates for highly s... Read More about Splitting and recombination of bright-solitary-matter waves.

A global assessment of the drivers of threatened terrestrial species richness (2020)
Journal Article
Howard, C., Flather, C., & Stephens, P. (2020). A global assessment of the drivers of threatened terrestrial species richness. Nature Communications, 11, Article 993. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-14771-6

High numbers of threatened species might be expected to occur where overall species richness is also high; however, this explains only a proportion of the global variation in threatened species richness. Understanding why many areas have more or fewe... Read More about A global assessment of the drivers of threatened terrestrial species richness.

Evaluating the operational resilience of small and medium-sized enterprises to flooding using a computational modelling and simulation approach: a case study of the 2007 flood in Tewkesbury. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 378(2168), Article 20190210. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2019.0210

The resilience of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to disruptive events is significant as this highly prevalent category of business forms the economic backbone in developed countries. This article provides an overview of the application of...

Multiple scattering in scanning helium microscopy (2020)
Journal Article

Using atom beams to image the surface of samples in real space is an emerging technique that delivers unique contrast from delicate samples. Here, we explore the contrast that arises from multiple scattering of helium atoms, a specific process that p... Read More about Multiple scattering in scanning helium microscopy.

We explore the influence of contact interactions on a synthetically spin–orbit coupled system of two ultracold trapped atoms. Even though the system we consider is bosonic, we show that a regime exists in which the competition between the contact and...
