Utilising bycatch camera trap data for broad-scale occupancy and conservation: a case study on brown hyaena (Parahyaena brunnea) (2020)
Journal Article

With human influences driving populations of apex predators into decline, more information is required on how factors affect species at national and global scales. However, camera-trap studies are seldom executed at a broad spatial scale. We demonstr...

Can H2 -receptor upregulation and raised histamine explain an anaphylactoid reaction on cessation of ranitidine in a 19-year-old female? A case report (2018)
Journal Article

The anaphylactoid reaction described follows cessation of ranitidine in a 19‐year‐old female with the disease cluster: mast cell activation syndrome, hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome and postural tachycardia syndrome. Anaphylaxis can give wide‐rang... Read More about Can H2 -receptor upregulation and raised histamine explain an anaphylactoid reaction on cessation of ranitidine in a 19-year-old female?

Initial Mediterranean response to major climate reorganization during the last interglacial-glacial transition (2019)
Journal Article

Millennial-scale Dansgaard Oeschger (DO) variability at northern high latitudes has influenced climatic and environmental conditions in the Mediterranean during the last glacial period. There is evidence that the hemispheric transmission of the DO va... Read More about Initial Mediterranean response to major climate reorganization during the last interglacial-glacial transition.

Assessment of community-level effects of intermittent preventive treatment for malaria in schoolchildren in Jinja, Uganda (START-IPT trial): a cluster-randomised trial (2018)
Journal Article

Background Intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) is a well established malaria control intervention. Evidence that delivering IPT to schoolchildren could provide community-level benefits is limited. We did a cluster-randomised controlled trial to a...

Cultural change in animals: a flexible behavioural adaptation to human disturbance (2019)
Journal Article

In recent decades, researchers have increasingly documented the impact of anthropogenic activities on wild animals, particularly in relation to changes in behaviour. However, whether human-induced behavioural changes in wildlife may be considered evi... Read More about Cultural change in animals: a flexible behavioural adaptation to human disturbance.

Do Online Voting Patterns Reflect Evolved Features of Human Cognition? An Exploratory Empirical Investigation (2015)
Journal Article

Online votes or ratings can assist internet users in evaluating the credibility and appeal of the information which they encounter. For example, aggregator websites such as Reddit allow users to up-vote submitted content to make it more prominent, an...

Microbial Larvicide Application by a Large-Scale, Community-Based Program Reduces Malaria Infection Prevalence in Urban Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania (2009)
Journal Article

Background Malaria control in Africa is most tractable in urban settlements yet most research has focused on rural settings. Elimination of malaria transmission from urban areas may require larval control strategies that complement adult mosquito con...

Joint effects of weather and interspecific competition on foraging behaviour and survival of a mountain herbivore (2018)
Journal Article

Weather variations have the potential to influence species interactions, although effects on competitive interactions between species are poorly known. Both weather and competition can influence foraging behavior and survival of herbivores during nur...

Measures of Malaria Burden after Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net Distribution and Indoor Residual Spraying at Three Sites in Uganda: A Prospective Observational Study (2016)
Journal Article

Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying of insecticide (IRS) are the primary vector control interventions used to prevent malaria in Africa. Although both interventions are effective in some settings, high-quali...

Deforestation and human agency in the North Atlantic region: Archaeological and palaeoenvironmental evidence from the Western Isles of Scotland (2018)
Journal Article

This paper considers the timing and mechanisms of deforestation in the Western Isles of Scotland, focusing in particular on the landscape around the Calanais stone circles, one of the best preserved late Neolithic/early Bronze Age monumental landscap...

The Origins of Iconic Depictions: A Falsifiable Model Derived from the Visual Science of Palaeolithic Cave Art and World Rock Art (2018)
Journal Article

Archaeologists have struggled for more than a century to explain why the first representational art of the Upper Palaeolithic arose and the reason for its precocious naturalism. Thanks to new data from various sites across Europe and further afield,...

Mapping changes in housing in sub-Saharan Africa from 2000 to 2015 (2019)
Journal Article

Access to adequate housing is a fundamental human right, essential to human security, nutrition and health, and a core objective of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals1,2. Globally, the housing need is most acute in Africa, where the pop... Read More about Mapping changes in housing in sub-Saharan Africa from 2000 to 2015.

Effects of tephra falls on vegetation: A Late-Quaternary record from southern Italy (2018)
Journal Article

Impacts of tephra deposition on vegetation are recorded in a series of 10 high temporal resolution absolute pollen diagrams from Lago Grande di Monticchio, each diagram spanning a single tephra deposition event during the last glacial–interglacial cy...

Economical crowdsourcing for camera trap image classification (2018)
Journal Article

Camera trapping is widely used to monitor mammalian wildlife but creates large image datasets that must be classified. In response, there is a trend towards crowdsourcing image classification. For high‐profile studies of charismatic faunas, many clas... Read More about Economical crowdsourcing for camera trap image classification.

Social Learning Strategies: Bridge-building between fields (2018)
Journal Article

While social learning is widespread, indiscriminate copying of others is rarely beneficial. Theory suggests that individuals should be selective in what, when, and whom they copy, by following ‘social learning strategies’ (SLSs). The SLS concept has...

Hemispheric Asymmetries in Categorical Facial Expression Perception (2018)
Journal Article

Although many sensory phenomena vary continuously, humans tend to divide them into discrete categories with facial expressions being divided into categories such as happy, sad, anger, and fear. A critical effect of category use is categorical percept... Read More about Hemispheric Asymmetries in Categorical Facial Expression Perception.

Eco-Evolutionary Processes Generating Diversity Among Bottlenose Dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, Populations off Baja California, Mexico (2018)
Journal Article

For highly mobile species that nevertheless show fine-scale patterns of population genetic structure, the relevant evolutionary mechanisms determining structure remain poorly understood. The bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is one such species...

The response strategy and the place strategy in a plus-maze have different sensitivities to devaluation of expected outcome (2018)
Journal Article

Previous studies have suggested that spatial navigation can be achieved with at least two distinct learning processes, involving either cognitive map‐like representations of the local environment, referred to as the “place strategy”, or simple stimul...
