Protecting great apes from disease: Compliance with measures to reduce anthroponotic disease transmission

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 1387-1400, October 2022., 2022
Abstract The emergence of infectious diseases, such as COVID‐19, impacts livelihood strategies and conservation tools reliant on human‐wildlife interactions, such as wildlife‐based tourism and research. This is particularly relevant to great ape conservation, as humans and great apes are susceptible to being infected by similar pathogens.

Hotspots in the grid: Avian sensitivity and vulnerability to collision risk from energy infrastructure interactions in Europe and North Africa

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1496-1512, June 2022., 2022
We identify the areas of Europe and North Africa that are most sensitive for the specific populations of birds for which sufficient GPS tracking data at high spatial resolution were available. We also map vulnerability hotspots where mitigation at existing EI should be prioritised to reduce collision risks.

Removing the bad apples: A simple bioinformatic method to improve loci‐recovery in de novo RADseq data for non‐model organisms

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 5, Page 805-817, May 2021., 2021
Abstract The restriction site‐associated DNA (RADseq) family of protocols involves digesting DNA and sequencing the region flanking the cut site, thus providing a cost and time‐efficient way for obtaining thousands of genomic markers. However, when working with non‐model taxa with few genomic resources, optimization of RADseq wet‐lab and bioinformatic ...

Scientific shortcomings in environmental impact statements internationally

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 369-379, June 2020., 2020
Abstract Governments around the world rely on environmental impact assessment (EIA) to understand the environmental risks of proposed developments. To examine the basis for these appraisals, we examine the output of EIA processes in jurisdictions within seven countries, focusing on scope (spatial and temporal), mitigation actions and whether impacts ...
