Urban wild meat and pangolin consumption across southern forested Cameroon: The limited influence of COVID‐19

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Overexploitation of wildlife is pervasive in many tropical regions, and in addition to being a significant conservation and sustainability concern, it has received global attention given discussions over the origins of zoonotic disease outbreaks.

Vergence and Standing Balance in Subjects with Idiopathic Bilateral Loss of Vestibular Function

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
There is a natural symbiosis between vergence and vestibular responses. Deficits in vergence can lead to vertigo, disequilibrium, and postural instability.

Perceived Size Change Induced by Nonvisual Signals in Darkness: The Relative Contribution of Vergence and Proprioception

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2013
Most of the time, the human visual system computes perceived size by scaling the size of an object on the retina with its perceived distance. There are instances, however, in which size–distance scaling is not based on visual inputs but on extraretinal ...

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to

Range‐wide sampling reveals cryptic lineages but largely conserved mycorrhizal associations in the Japanese fairy lantern Thismia kobensis

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The jewel‐like flowers of Thismia are as rare as they are beautiful, often recorded from only a single site per species. Access to 15 populations of T. kobensis has enabled an uncommon, range‐wide assessment of morphology, genetics, and fungal partners. Our analyses showed that T.

Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements in Children with Strabismus and in Children with Vergence Deficits

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Purpose The objective of our study was to examine horizontal smooth pursuit performance in strabismic children and in children with vergence deficits, and to compare these data with those recorded in a group of control age-matched children.

Field size as a determinant of common vole population density

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Population densities of the common vole, an agricultural pest, increase nonlinearly with forage field size, especially in fields below 20 ha. Reducing the field size may help limit crop damage in farmland. Abstract BACKGROUND Environmental heterogeneity in agricultural landscapes is a key driver of biodiversity and ecological processes, yet its role in

Interaction between Accommodation and Vergence on Distance Perception

open access: yesi-Perception, 2011
Fisher and Ciuffreda (1988) and Mon-Williams and Tresilian (1999) reported that, without vergence cue, diopter change in accommodation induced change in apparent distance. Meanwhile, there is conflicting evidence about the relative roles of accommodation
