A Tool for Prioritizing Livestock Disease Threats to Scotland

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
There are a number of disease threats to the livestock of Scotland that are not presently believed to be circulating in the UK. Here, we present the development of a tool for prioritizing resources for livestock disease threats to Scotland by combining a

An horizon scan of biogeography [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers of Biogeography, 2013
The opportunity to reflect broadly on the accomplishments, prospects, and reach of a field may present itself relatively infrequently. Each biennial meeting of the International Biogeography Society showcases ideas solicited and developed largely during the preceding year, by individuals or teams from across the breadth of the discipline.
