Pre-eradication updated seabird survey including new records on Amsterdam Island, southern Indian Ocean (2024)
Journal Article
Lesage, C., Cherel, Y., Delord, K., d’Orchymont, Q., Fretin, M., Levy, M., Welch, A., & Barbraud, C. (2024). Pre-eradication updated seabird survey including new records on Amsterdam Island, southern Indian Ocean. Polar Biology, 47, 1093–1105. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00300-024-03282-5

An invasive predator eradication campaign is planned for 2024 on Amsterdam Island, one of world’s top priority island for seabird conservation. In order to monitor the effects on seabird colonies post-eradication, a survey of burrow-nesting species a...

Spatial variation in spring arrival patterns of Afro‐Palaearctic bird migration across Europe (2024)
Journal Article
Border, J. A., Boersch‐Supan, P. H., Pearce‐Higgins, J. W., Hewson, C. M., Howard, C., Stephens, P. A., Willis, S. G., Houston, A. I., Gargallo, G., & Baillie, S. R. (2024). Spatial variation in spring arrival patterns of Afro‐Palaearctic bird migration across Europe. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 33(7), Article e13850. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13850

Aim: Geographical patterns of migrant species arrival have been little studied, despite their relevance to global change responses. Here, we quantify continent-wide inter-specific variation in spatio-temporal patterns of spring arrival of 30 common m...

Mammal responses to global changes in human activity vary by trophic group and landscape (2024)
Journal Article
Burton, A. C., Beirne, C., Gaynor, K. M., Sun, C., Granados, A., Allen, M. L., Alston, J. M., Alvarenga, G. C., Calderón, S. Á., Amir, Z., Anhalt-Depies, C., Appel, C., Stephanny, Balme, G., Bar-Massada, A., Barcelos, D., Barr, E., Barthelmess, E. L., Baruzzi, C., Basak, S. M., …Kays, R. (2024). Mammal responses to global changes in human activity vary by trophic group and landscape. Nature Ecology and Evolution, 8(5), 924–935. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-024-02363-2

Wildlife must adapt to human presence to survive in the Anthropocene, so it is critical to understand species responses to humans in different contexts. We used camera trapping as a lens to view mammal responses to changes in human activity during th...

Convolutional Neural Networks Facilitate River Barrier Detection and Evidence Severe Habitat Fragmentation in the Mekong River Biodiversity Hotspot (2024)
Journal Article
Sun, J., Ding, C., Lucas, M. C., Tao, J., Cheng, H., Chen, J., …He, D. (2024). Convolutional Neural Networks Facilitate River Barrier Detection and Evidence Severe Habitat Fragmentation in the Mekong River Biodiversity Hotspot. Water Resources Research, 60(1), Article e2022WR034375. https://doi.org/10.1029/2022wr034375

Construction of river infrastructure, such as dams and weirs, is a global issue for ecosystem protection due to the fragmentation of river habitat and hydrological alteration it causes. Accurate river barrier databases, increasingly used to determine...

Host movement dominates the predicted effects of climate change on parasite transmission between wild and domestic mountain ungulates (2024)
Journal Article
Dickinson, E. R., McFarland, C., Toïgo, C., Scantlebury, D. M., Stephens, P. A., Marks, N. J., & Morgan, E. R. (2024). Host movement dominates the predicted effects of climate change on parasite transmission between wild and domestic mountain ungulates. Royal Society Open Science, 11(1), Article 230469. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.230469

Climate change is shifting the transmission of parasites, which is determined by host density, ambient temperature and moisture. These shifts can lead to increased pressure from parasites, in wild and domestic animals, and can impact the effectivenes...
