Background: The Enlighten Project seeks to explore how awareness of the physical environment in critical care may impact patient well-being and recovery and whether simple changes may improve outcomes. Methods: In this study we follow the journey of... Read More about Carol's journey in critical care: An Enlighten Project case study.

Behavioral responses to spatial variation in perceived predation risk and resource availability in an arboreal primate (2022)
Journal Article

Prey species must often face a trade-off between acquiring resources and minimizing predation risk. The spatial variation in predation risk across a landscape, as perceived by prey across their foraging or home range, creates a “landscape of fear” by...

The role of population size in folk tune complexity (2022)
Journal Article

Demography, particularly population size, plays a key role in cultural complexity. However, the relationship between population size and complexity appears to vary across domains: while studies of technology typically find a positive correlation, the...

The spatial layout of doorways and environmental boundaries shape the content of event memories (2022)
Journal Article

Physical boundaries in our environment have been observed to define separate events in episodic memory. To date, however, there is little evidence that the spatial properties of boundaries exert any control over event memories. To examine this possib...

Spatial and temporal variation in interspecific interaction: impact of a recreational landscape (2022)
Journal Article

Anthropogenic activities, such as outdoor recreation, have the potential to change complex interactions between wildlife and livestock, with further consequences for the management of both animals, the environment, and disease transmission. We presen... Read More about Spatial and temporal variation in interspecific interaction: impact of a recreational landscape.

Phenotypical Screening on Neuronal Plasticity in Hippocampal-Prefrontal Cortex Connectivity Reveals an Antipsychotic with a Novel Profile (2022)
Journal Article

Dysfunction in the hippocampus-prefrontal cortex (H-PFC) circuit is a critical determinant of schizophrenia. Screening of pyridazinone-risperidone hybrids on this circuit revealed EGIS 11150 (S 36549). EGIS 11150 induced theta rhythm in hippocampal s...

Camera traps and guard observations as an alternative to researcher observation for studying anthropogenic foraging (2022)
Journal Article

Foraging by wildlife on anthropogenic foods can have negative impacts on both hu-mans and wildlife. Addressing this issue requires reliable data on the patterns of an-thropogenic foraging by wild animals, but while direct observation by researchers c...

Ecosystem effects of invasive crayfish increase with crayfish density (2022)
Journal Article

1. The nature and extent of effects of increasing densities of non-native species on stream ecosystems remain poorly understood. Non-native crayfish are among the most invasive aquatic species and we hypothesised that, in temperate streams, the exten...

Slippery customers for conservation: distribution and decline of anguillid eels in South Africa (2022)
Journal Article

1. Four anguillid eel species occur in the western Indian Ocean rivers of Africa: Anguilla bengalensis, Anguilla bicolor, Anguilla marmorata and Anguilla mossambica. These catadromous fishes face multiple stressors, including habitat alteration and d...

Camera trap distance sampling for terrestrial mammal population monitoring: lessons learnt from a UK case study (2022)
Journal Article

Accurate and precise density estimates are crucial for effective species management and conservation. However, efficient monitoring of mammal densities over large spatial and temporal scales is challenging. In the United Kingdom, published density es...

Testing the Short-Term Effectiveness of Various Deterrents for Reducing Crop Foraging by Primates (2022)
Journal Article

Crop foraging by wildlife is a major driver of negative interactions between farmers and wildlife, and yet there are few published examples of effective solutions to deter wildlife from crops. Here we investigate the effectiveness of six different me... Read More about Testing the Short-Term Effectiveness of Various Deterrents for Reducing Crop Foraging by Primates.

Red deer behavioural response to hiking activity: a study using camera traps (2022)
Journal Article

With increasing levels of outdoor recreation activities, consequences for wildlife through interactions with recreationists are highly variable. Behavioural changes in wildlife are one potential consequence of interactions with outdoor recreationists...

The Quantitative Genetics of Flowering Traits in Wide Crosses of Chickpea (2022)
Journal Article

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most ımportant food legume crops in the world. Chickpea is valued for its nutritive seed composition, which is high in protein content and used increasingly as a substitute for animal protein. Days to fırst...

Votucalis, a Novel Centrally Sparing Histamine-Binding Protein, Attenuates Histaminergic Itch and Neuropathic Pain in Mice (2022)
Journal Article

Votucalis is a biologically active protein in tick (R. appendiculatus) saliva, which specifically binds histamine with high affinity and, therefore, has the potential to inhibit the host’s immunological responses at the feeding site. We hypothesized... Read More about Votucalis, a Novel Centrally Sparing Histamine-Binding Protein, Attenuates Histaminergic Itch and Neuropathic Pain in Mice.

CNS-Sparing Histamine H3 Receptor Antagonist as a Candidate to Prevent the Diabetes-Associated Gastrointestinal Symptoms (2022)
Journal Article

Among the histamine receptors, growing evidence points to the histamine H3 receptor as a pharmacological candidate to counteract the autonomic neuropathy associated with diabetes. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of PF00868087 (also known as ZP...

A case study of illegal fishing causes during seasonal fishery closure in Kaptai Lake, Bangladesh (2022)
Journal Article

Growing evidence shows that conservation strategies such as fishing bans may adversely affect the livelihoods of low-income communities, which often encourages community members to fish illegally. In this study, we determined the underlying factors t... Read More about A case study of illegal fishing causes during seasonal fishery closure in Kaptai Lake, Bangladesh.

Scotland’s first farmers: new insights into early farming practices in north-west Europe (2022)
