open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Anthropogenic disturbances, such as forest harvest, create risky landscapes for juveniles by increasing their vulnerability to predation and hunting, and when combined with natural stressors like parasitism, likely drive population declines. Managing landscapes with a species‐centric approach that addresses the cumulative effects of human and natural ...

Can hierarchical modelling of co‐occurrence data provide accurate inference into species interactions?

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 456-479, February 2026.
Abstract In recent years, several compelling critiques have emerged of approaches that leverage co‐occurrence data to understand the dynamic complexities posed by species interactions. Here, motivated by the key arguments formalized over a century of debate, we use simulations grounded in ecological theory to provide guidance on when co‐occurrence data

Wildlife tourism supports conservation and economies, but its rapid expansion can negatively impact ecosystems. Using spatially explicit lion density data from the Maasai Mara (2014–2022), we found that higher densities of tourist camps significantly reduce lion presence, independent of prey or vegetation, and that newly established camps displace ...
