Sex differences in scent-marking in captive red-ruffed lemurs (2019)
Journal Article
Janda, E., Perry, K., Hankinson, E., Walker, D., & Vaglio, S. (2019). Sex differences in scent-marking in captive red-ruffed lemurs. American Journal of Primatology, 81(1), Article e22951. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.22951

Primate chemical communication remains underappreciated, as primates are considered to rely on other sensory modalities. However, various lines of evidence suggest that olfaction plays an important role in primate societies, including the conspicuous...

Housing Improvements and Malaria Risk in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Multi-Country Analysis of Survey Data (2017)
Journal Article
Tusting, L., Bottomley, C., Gibson, H., Kleinschmidt, I., Tatem, A., Lindsay, S., & Gething, P. (2017). Housing Improvements and Malaria Risk in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Multi-Country Analysis of Survey Data. PLoS Medicine, 14(2), Article e1002234. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002234

Improvements to housing may contribute to malaria control and elimination by reducing house entry by malaria vectors and thus exposure to biting. We tested the hypothesis that the odds of malaria infection are lower in modern, improved housing compar...

Population dynamics and threats to an apex predator outside protected areas: Implications for carnivore management (2017)
Journal Article
Williams, S., William, K., Lewis, B., & Hill, R. (2017). Population dynamics and threats to an apex predator outside protected areas: Implications for carnivore management. Royal Society Open Science, 4(4), Article 161090. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.161090

Data on the population dynamics and threats to large carnivores are vital to conservation efforts, but these are hampered by a paucity of studies. For some species, such as the leopard (Panthera pardus), there is such uncertainty in population trends...

Can navigation locks be used to help migratory fishes with poor swimming performance pass tidal barrages? A test with lampreys (2017)
Journal Article
Silva, S., Lowry, M., Macaya-Solis, C., Byatt, B., & Lucas, M. (2017). Can navigation locks be used to help migratory fishes with poor swimming performance pass tidal barrages? A test with lampreys. Ecological Engineering, 102, 291-302. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2017.02.027

Worldwide, tidal barrages reduce aquatic habitat connectivity and limit fish movements, especially for diadromous migrating species. Providing fish passage at these structures is crucial but technically and economically challenging. We measured the p...

Zooarchaeology and the elusive feast: from performance to aftermath (2018)
Journal Article

Ethnographic descriptions of feasts reveal that consumption of meat is usually prominent. Zooarchaeological evidence may thus provide the best way of seeing feasts in the archaeological record. The accumulation of trophy arrays and ongoing high-statu... Read More about Zooarchaeology and the elusive feast: from performance to aftermath.

Climatic disequilibrium threatens conservation priority forests (2017)
Journal Article
Huntley, B., Allen, J., Bennie, J., Collingham, Y., Miller, P., & Suggitt, A. (2018). Climatic disequilibrium threatens conservation priority forests. Conservation Letters, 11(1), Article e12349. https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.12349

We test the hypothesis that climatic changes since 1800 have resulted in unrealised potential vegetation changes that represent a ‘climatic debt’ for many ecosystems. Caledonian pinewoods, an EU priority forest type, are used as a model system to exp... Read More about Climatic disequilibrium threatens conservation priority forests.

Mismatch or mass marketing? Stone Age diets, industrialisation and ultra-processed foods (in Turkish) (2016)
Journal Article
Elton, S. (2016). Mismatch or mass marketing? Stone Age diets, industrialisation and ultra-processed foods (in Turkish). Toplum ve hekim, 31(5), 323-333

The Stone Age diet, which first began to appear in the literature in the 1950s and became prominent in the 1980s and 1990s, has become an increasingly popular type of diet. This type of diet aims to create the analogy of pre-aging people's diet as a... Read More about Mismatch or mass marketing? Stone Age diets, industrialisation and ultra-processed foods (in Turkish).
