Automatic acoustic detection of birds through deep learning : the first bird audio detection challenge (2018)
Journal Article
Stowell, D., Wood, M., Pamuła, H., Stylianou, Y., & Glotin, H. (2019). Automatic acoustic detection of birds through deep learning : the first bird audio detection challenge. Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 10(3), 368-380. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210x.13103

Assessing the presence and abundance of birds is important for monitoring specific species as well as overall ecosystem health. Many birds are most readily detected by their sounds, and thus passive acoustic monitoring is highly appropriate. Yet acou...

The International Commission on Radiological Protection has proposed an environmental assessment framework. This includes ionising radiation exposure assessment for different frog life-stages, but radiocaesium transfer parameters are unavailable. We...

Genetic variability and ontogeny predict microbiome structure in a disease-challenged montane amphibian (2018)
Journal Article
Griffiths, S. M., Harrison, X. A., Weldon, C., Wood, M. D., Pretorius, A., Hopkins, K., …Antwis, R. E. (2018). Genetic variability and ontogeny predict microbiome structure in a disease-challenged montane amphibian. ISME Journal, 12(10), 2506-2517. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-018-0167-0

Amphibian populations worldwide are at risk of extinction from infectious diseases, including chytridiomycosis caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Amphibian cutaneous microbiomes interact with Bd and can confer protecti... Read More about Genetic variability and ontogeny predict microbiome structure in a disease-challenged montane amphibian.
