The Importance of Direct and Indirect Trophic Interactions in Determining the Presence of a Locally Rare Day-Flying Moth (2022)
Journal Article
O'Neill, H., Twiss, S., Stephens, P., Mason, T., Ryrholm, N., & Burman, J. (2022). The Importance of Direct and Indirect Trophic Interactions in Determining the Presence of a Locally Rare Day-Flying Moth. Oecologia, 198(2), 531-542. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00442-021-05100-9

Ecosystem engineers affect other organisms by creating, maintaining or modifying habitats, potentially supporting species of conservation concern. However, it is important to consider these interactions alongside non-engineering trophic pathways. We...

Using indices of species’ potential range to inform conservation status (2021)
Journal Article
Mason, T. H., Stephens, P. A., Gilbert, G., Green, R. E., Wilson, J. D., Jennings, K., …Willis, S. G. (2021). Using indices of species’ potential range to inform conservation status. Ecological Indicators, 123, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107343

Assessments of conservation status are typically based on short-term extinction risk, but the value of indicators that compare the current state of species (e.g., abundance or distribution) to potential baselines is increasingly recognised. The use o... Read More about Using indices of species’ potential range to inform conservation status.

The role of risk perception and affect in predicting support for conservation policy under rapid ecosystem change (2020)
Journal Article
St John, F. A., Mason, T. H., & Bunnefeld, N. (2021). The role of risk perception and affect in predicting support for conservation policy under rapid ecosystem change. Conservation Science and Practice, 3(2), Article e316. https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.316

Conservation conflicts are damaging for humans and wildlife, with differences in people's objectives fuelling challenges of managing complex, dynamic systems. We investigate the relative importance of economic, psychological (affect, trust and risk p...

Wicked conflict: Using wicked problem thinking for holistic management of conservation conflict (2018)
Journal Article
Mason, T. H., Pollard, C. R., Chimalakonda, D., Guerrero, A. M., Kerr-Smith, C., Milheiras, S. A., …Bunnefeld, N. (2018). Wicked conflict: Using wicked problem thinking for holistic management of conservation conflict. Conservation Letters, 11(6), Article e12460. https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.12460

Conservation conflict is widespread, damaging, and has proved difficult to manage using conventional conservation approaches. Conflicts are often “wicked problems,” lacking clear solutions due to divergent values of stakeholders, and being embedded w...

Time series analysis reveals synchrony and asynchrony between conflict management effort and increasing large grazing bird populations in northern Europe (2018)
Journal Article
Cusack, J. J., Duthie, A. B., Rakotonarivo, O. S., Pozo, R. A., Mason, T. H., Månsson, J., …Bunnefeld, N. (2019). Time series analysis reveals synchrony and asynchrony between conflict management effort and increasing large grazing bird populations in northern Europe. Conservation Letters, 12(1), Article e12450. https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.12450

The management of conflicts between wildlife conservation and agricultural practices often involves the implementation of strategies aimed at reducing the cost of wildlife impacts on crops. Vital to the success of these strategies is the perception t...
