The evolution of parasite virulence under targeted culling and harvesting in wildlife and livestock
(Wiley, 28 September 2023)There is a clear need to understand the effect of human intervention on the evolution of infectious disease. In particular, culling and harvesting of both wildlife and managed livestock populations are carried out in a ... -
Bat activity correlated with migratory insect bioflows in the Pyrenees
(The Royal Society, 16 August 2023)High altitude mountain passes in the Pyrenees are known to be important migratory hotspots for autumn migrating insects originating from large swathes of northern Europe. In the Pyrenees, prior research has focused on ... -
High mortality of beetle migrants along the Eastern Mediterranean Flyway
(Wiley / Royal Entomological Society, 7 August 2023)Migration is costly in terms of increased energy expenditure and exposure to risks encountered en route. These factors can lead to a higher mortality among migrants compared with more sedentary life history stages. Insect ... -
Adaptive migratory orientation of an invasive pest on a new continent
(Cell Press, 20 November 2023)Many species of insects undertake long-range, seasonally reversed migrations, displaying sophisticated orientation behaviors to optimize their migratory trajectories. However, when invasive insects arrive in new biogeographical ... -
Maximising the value of transmitted data from PSATs tracking marine fish: a case study on Atlantic bluefin tuna
(BMC, 6 January 2024)Background: The use of biologging tags to answer questions in animal movement ecology has increased in recent decades. Pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) are often used for migratory studies on large fish taxa. For ...
