Leopard density and determinants of space use in a farming landscape in South Africa
Scientific ReportsProtected areas are traditionally the foundation of conservation strategy, but land not formally protected is of particular importance for the conservation of large carnivores because of their typically wide-ranging nature.

How territoriality and sociality influence the habitat selection and movements of a large carnivore
Ecology and EvolutionWhile territoriality is one of the key mechanisms influencing carnivore space use, most studies quantify resource selection and movement in the absence of conspecific influence or territorial structure.

Predator-free space, functional responses and biological invasions
, 2015 Summary 1. Predator–prey interactions are mediated by the structural complexity of habitats, but disentangling the many facets of structure that contribute to this mediation remains elusive.

Naphthalimide Derivatives as Film‐Based Fluorescent Sensors for Rapid Detection of Illicit Drugs
Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.Four novel 1,8‐naphthalimide (NI) derivatives for the detection of illicit drugs with different substituents at the 4‐position are reported. Their contrasting fluorescence responses enables five illicit drugs to be distinguished from interferents with a mean classification accuracy of 81%.
