The disruption of seed dispersal networks: disentangling the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

Epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty quantification in weather and climate models

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties over time on weather and climate time‐scales, estimated through ensembles that sample aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty using Bayesian neural networks for parameterisations in the Lorenz 1996 model. The spread shows the 16th and 84th percentiles.

How Does Our Degrading System Perform?

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We discuss the quality of performance of degrading systems when degradation is modeled by a stochastic process with independent increments and increasing sample paths. As an example, the gamma process is considered. First, for the continuously observed degradation, by comparing with the black‐box scenario (without observing degradation), the ...
