From patterns to predictions: a framework for the spatial epidemiology of wildlife diseases

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Wildlife diseases pose a significant threat to biodiversity conservation, public health, and livestock. Spatial epidemiology provides a robust framework to understand disease dynamics and guide policy and management. However, the rapid proliferation of spatial methods has largely occurred in isolation across disciplines, leaving the field without a ...

Long‐term effects of an intervention for families with parental severe mental illness—A 2.5‐year RCT follow‐up

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
This 2.5‐year follow‐up of the VIA Family trial found no significant long‐term differences between a family‐based preventive program and treatment as usual in child mental health, global functioning, or home environment. Results emphasize the difficulty of achieving lasting benefits in heterogeneous high‐risk families.

Seasonal variation of bat-flies (Diptera: Streblidae) in four bat species from a tropical dry forest

open access: yes, 2017
Seasonality of climate promotes differences in abundance and species composition of parasites, affecting host-parasite interactions. Studies have reported seasonal variation in bat-flies, which are obligate bat ectoparasites. We characterized the bat-fly

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

Bat fly species richness in Neotropical bats: correlations with host ecology and host brain

open access: yes, 2008
International audiencePatterns of ectoparasite species richness in mammals have been investigated in various terrestrial mammalian taxa such as primates, ungulates and carnivores. Several ecological or life traits of hosts are expected to explain much of

Post‐release tracking to monitor success of black cockatoo rehabilitation in Western Australia

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Post‐release tracking of rehabilitated black cockatoos in Western Australia showed high success (79.4%), with survival, self‐feeding, and flock reintegration achieved by most birds. Larger resident flocks were significantly associated with improved post‐release outcomes.

Eroding Confidence in Gully Location Risk Prediction in Mine Pit Rehabilitation

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how rehabilitation measures, such as landform shaping, and surface finishes impact gully erosion risk could assist in designing less erosive rehabilitation. In this study we use high resolution digital elevation models of rehabilitated mine pits to explore risk factors for gully formation.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...
