A New Trait-Based Model of Child-to-Parent Aggression (2017)
Journal Article

Incidents of child-to-parent aggression have been the most under-researched area of domestic violence. The risk factors for child-to-parent aggression are still unknown. This article reviews risk factors that might explain aggression among adolescent... Read More about A New Trait-Based Model of Child-to-Parent Aggression.

The influence of live-capture on the risk perceptions of habituated samango monkeys (2016)
Journal Article

Live-capture of animals is a widely used technique in ecological research, and previously trapped individuals often respond to traps with either attraction or avoidance. The effects of trapping on animals’ risk perception are not often studied, altho... Read More about The influence of live-capture on the risk perceptions of habituated samango monkeys.

Mobile phone use in two secondary schools in Tanzania (2017)
Journal Article

Mobile phone technology in Tanzania has grown rapidly but there is insufficient data on its application in schools. This paper aims to show how students in the first and third year (F1 and F3) teachers in two rural secondary schools perceived its use...

Narcissism and the Strategic Pursuit of Short-Term Mating: Universal Links across 11 World Regions of the International Sexuality Description Project-2 (2017)
Journal Article

Previous studies have documented links between sub-clinical narcissism and the active pursuit of short-term mating strategies (e.g., unrestricted sociosexuality, marital infidelity, mate poaching). Nearly all of these investigations have relied solel...

Journal Article

Choice of baseline climate data impacts projected species’ responses to climate change (2016)
Journal Article

Climate data created from historic climate observations are integral to most assessments of potential climate change impacts, and frequently comprise the baseline period used to infer species-climate relationships. They are often also central to down... Read More about Choice of baseline climate data impacts projected species’ responses to climate change.

Field evaluation of two novel sampling devices for collecting wild oviposition site seeking malaria vector mosquitoes: OviART gravid traps and squares of electrocuting nets (2016)
Journal Article

Background: New sampling tools are needed for collecting exophilic malaria mosquitoes in sub-Saharan Africa to monitor the impact of vector control interventions. The OviART gravid trap and squares of electrocuting nets (e-nets) were recently develop... Read More about Field evaluation of two novel sampling devices for collecting wild oviposition site seeking malaria vector mosquitoes: OviART gravid traps and squares of electrocuting nets.

Beyond the Intellect: Complexity and learning trajectories in Raven’s Progressive Matrices depend on self-regulatory processes and conative dispositions (2017)
Journal Article

The Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) test entails a 40-min contextualized interaction with a set of progressively difficult cognitive activities. Item-to-item experiences accumulate to total scores determined by, and reflective of, cognitive abilit...

Journal Article

A moving target - incorporating knowledge of the spatial ecology of fish into the assessment and management of freshwater fish populations (2016)
Journal Article

Freshwater fish move vertically and horizontally through the aquatic landscape for a variety of reasons, such as to find and exploit patchy resources or to locate essential habitats (e.g., for spawning). Inherent challenges exist with the assessment... Read More about A moving target - incorporating knowledge of the spatial ecology of fish into the assessment and management of freshwater fish populations.

Allometric scaling of intraspecific space use (2016)
Journal Article

Allometric scaling relationships enable exploration of animal space-use patterns, yet interspecific studies cannot address many of the underlying mechanisms. We present the first intraspecific study of home range (HR) allometry relative to energetic... Read More about Allometric scaling of intraspecific space use.

How does the reliability of a model affect children's choice to learn socially or individually? (2016)
Journal Article

The effect of model reliability on children’s choices to learn socially versus individually is pertinent to theories addressing cultural evolution and theories of selective trust. Here the effect of a reliable versus unreliable model on children’s pr... Read More about How does the reliability of a model affect children's choice to learn socially or individually?.

Resurgence of malaria following discontinuation of indoor residual spraying of insecticide in a previously high transmission intensity area of Uganda (2017)
Journal Article

Background Indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the primary tools for malaria prevention in Africa. It is not known whether reductions in malaria can be sustained after IRS is discontinued. The aim of this stu...

The cross-cutting contribution of the end of neglected tropical diseases to the sustainable development goals (2017)
Journal Article

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for an integrated response, the kind that has defined Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) efforts in the past decade. NTD interventions have the greatest relevance for SDG3, the health goal, where the focu...

The behavioral trade-off between thermoregulation and foraging in a heat-sensitive species (2017)
Journal Article

The range-shifts of many species are lagging behind climate change, meaning that those species are likely to experience increases in average ambient temperature. Heat-sensitive species may experience increasingly precarious trade-offs between investm...

Armigeres subalbatus colonization of damaged pit latrines: a nuisance and potential health risk to residents of resettlement villages in Laos (2015)
Journal Article

During the resettlement of 6500 persons living around the Nam Theun 2 hydroelectric project in Laos, more than 1200 pour-flush latrines were constructed. To assess the role of these latrines as productive larval habitats for mosquitoes, entomological...

Fluvial deposits as an archive of early human activity: progress during the 20 years of the Fluvial Archives Group (2017)
Journal Article

Fluvial sedimentary archives are important repositories for Lower and Middle Palaeolithic artefacts throughout the ‘Old World’, especially in Europe, where the beginning of their study coincided with the realisation that early humans were of great an...

Well-dated fluvial sequences as templates for patterns of handaxe distribution: understanding the record of Acheulean activity in the Thames and its correlatives (2017)
Journal Article

The use of Acheulean (handaxe) typology as a cultural and temporal marker has been a topic of controversy in recent decades, with many archaeologists continuing to reject such an approach out of hand. Much of the controversy stems, however, from diff...

Vectorial capacity and vector control: reconsidering sensitivity to parameters for malaria elimination (2016)
Journal Article

Background Major gains have been made in reducing malaria transmission in many parts of the world, principally by scaling-up coverage with long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying. Historically, choice of vector control interventio... Read More about Vectorial capacity and vector control: reconsidering sensitivity to parameters for malaria elimination.

Beyond climate envelope projections: Roe deer survival and environmental change (2016)
Journal Article

Research on climate change impacts has focused on projecting changes in the geographic ranges of species, with less emphasis on the vital rates giving rise to species distributions. Managing ungulate populations under future climate change will requi... Read More about Beyond climate envelope projections: Roe deer survival and environmental change.
