Fear or food? Prey availability is more important than predation risk in determining aerial insectivorous bat responses across a disturbed tropical forest landscape (2023)
Journal Article
Appel, G., Meyer, C. F. J., & Bobrowiec, P. E. D. (2023). Fear or food? Prey availability is more important than predation risk in determining aerial insectivorous bat responses across a disturbed tropical forest landscape. Biodiversity and Conservation, 32, 3217–3235. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-023-02647-2

Habitat disturbance affects, directly or indirectly, the predation risk and food available to animals. One group of animals that may be negatively affected by habitat disturbance are forest-dependent aerial insectivorous bats, especially in the Amazo... Read More about Fear or food? Prey availability is more important than predation risk in determining aerial insectivorous bat responses across a disturbed tropical forest landscape.

Sérvulo, T., Taylor, J. D., Proietti, M. C., Rodrigues, L. D. S., Puertas, I. P., Barutot, R. A., & Lacerda, A. L. D. F. (in press). Plastisphere composition in a subtropical estuary: Influence of season, incubation time and polymer type on plastic biofouling. Environmental Pollution, 332, 121873. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121873

Plastics are abundant artificial substrates in aquatic systems that host a wide variety of organisms (the plastisphere), including potential pathogens and invasive species. Plastisphere communities have many complex, but not well-un...

Power flow sensitivity analysis for optimal structural modification (2023)
Journal Article
Meggitt, J. (2023). Power flow sensitivity analysis for optimal structural modification. Applied Acoustics, 211, Article 109463. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2023.109463

Across many industries there is a need to develop products with improved vibro-acoustic performance. Whether the aim is to reduce the radiated sound level in a vehicle cabin, or to minimise the vibration level of sensitive components, the problem may...

An experimental assessment of detection dog ability to locate great crested newts (Triturus cristatus) at distance and through soil (2023)
Journal Article
Glover Id, N. J., Wilson, L. E., Leedale ld, A., & Jehle Id, R. (2023). An experimental assessment of detection dog ability to locate great crested newts (Triturus cristatus) at distance and through soil. PLoS ONE, 18, Article e0285084. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.+pone.0285084

Detection dogs are increasingly used to locate cryptic wildlife species, but their use for amphibians is still rather underexplored. In the present paper we focus on the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus), a European species which is experiencin...

Universal closed-tube barcoding for monitoring the shark and ray trade in megadiverse conservation hotspots. (2023)
Journal Article
Prasetyo, A. P., Cusa, M., Murray, J. M., Agung, F., Muttaqin, E., Mariani, S., & McDevitt, A. D. (2023). Universal closed-tube barcoding for monitoring the shark and ray trade in megadiverse conservation hotspots. iScience, 26(7), 107065. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2023.107065

Trade restrictions for endangered elasmobranch species exist to disincentivise their exploitation and curb their declines. However, trade monitoring is challenging due to product variety and the complexity of import/export routes. We investigate the...
