Consequences of replacing native savannahs with acacia plantations for the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic α- and β-diversity of bats in the northern Brazilian Amazon (2020)
Journal Article

Across the globe, millions of hectares of native vegetation have been replaced by commercial plantations, with negative consequences for biodiversity. The effects of the replacement of native vegetation with commercial plantations on the functional a...

Quantifying and addressing the prevalence and bias of study designs in the environmental and social sciences (2020)
Journal Article

Building trust in science and evidence-based decision-making depends heavily on the credibility of studies and their findings. Researchers employ many different study designs that vary in their risk of bias to evaluate the true effect of intervention...

Synthetic biology approaches to copper remediation: bioleaching, accumulation and recycling (2020)
Journal Article
Giachino, A., Focarelli, F., Marles-Wright, J., & Waldron, K. (2020). Synthetic biology approaches to copper remediation: bioleaching, accumulation and recycling. FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 97(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/femsec/fiaa249

One of the current aims of synthetic biology is the development of novel microorganisms that can mine economically important elements from the environment or remediate toxic waste compounds. Copper, in particular, is a high-priority target for biorem... Read More about Synthetic biology approaches to copper remediation: bioleaching, accumulation and recycling.
