An unlikely partnership: fishers’ participation in a small-scale fishery data collection program in the Timor Sea (2016)
Journal Article
Prescott, J., Riwu, J., Stacey, N., & Prasetyo, A. (2016). An unlikely partnership: fishers’ participation in a small-scale fishery data collection program in the Timor Sea. Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 26, 679-692. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11160-015-9417-7

Traditional fisheries stock assessment methods and fishery independent surveys are costly and time consuming exercises. However fishers trained in data collection and utilising other skills can reduce costs and improve fishery assessments and managem...

Evaluating patterns of human–reptile conflicts in an urban environment (2016)
Journal Article
environment. Wildlife Research, 42(7), https://doi.org/10.1071/WR15143

Context. Reptiles, especially snakes, can cause a fear reaction in the public and are, therefore, a good model to examine human–wildlife conflicts. Human city dwellers often respond to the presence of snakes or other reptiles by calling out the respo... Read More about Evaluating patterns of human–reptile conflicts in an urban environment.

Military aircrafts' classification based on their sound signature (2016)
Journal Article
Barbarosou, M., Paraskevas, I., & Ahmed, A. (2016). Military aircrafts' classification based on their sound signature. Aircraft engineering, 88(1), 66-72. https://doi.org/10.1108/AEAT-04-2014-0040

Purpose: This paper aims to present a system framework for classifying different models of military aircrafts, which is based on the sound they produce.

Design/methodology/approach: The technique is based on extracting a compact feature set, of... Read More about Military aircrafts' classification based on their sound signature.

Antibacterial properties of biosurfactants against selected Gram-positive and -negative bacteria (2016)
Journal Article
De Rienzo MA, D., P, S., R, M., & IM, B. (2016). Antibacterial properties of biosurfactants against selected Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. FEMS Microbiology Letters, 363(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/femsle/fnv224

The antibacterial properties and ability to disrupt biofilms of biosurfactants (rhamnolipids, sophorolipids) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in the presence and absence of selected organic acids were investigated. Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was in... Read More about Antibacterial properties of biosurfactants against selected Gram-positive and -negative bacteria.

Turning the game around for conservation: using traditional hunting knowledge to improve the capture efficiency of Amazon lowland pacas (2016)
Journal Article
Rocha El Bizri, H., Araujo, L., Araujo, W., Maranhao, L., & Valsecchi, J. (2016). Turning the game around for conservation: using traditional hunting knowledge to improve the capture efficiency of Amazon lowland pacas. Wildlife Biology, 22(1), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.2981/wlb.00127

The lowland paca Cuniculus paca is a large rodent and is one of the most hunted mammal species in the Neotropics. Conservation strategies for the lowland paca that depend on data from live captures have been hampered due to the elusive behavior of th...

Making amphibian conservation more effective (2016)
Journal Article
Meredith, H., Van Buren, C., & Antwis, R. (2016). Making amphibian conservation more effective. Conservation evidence, 13, 1-6

Amphibians face an extinction crisis. Hundreds of species may be lost as conservation scientists and practitioners struggle to identify remedies to poorly understood declines spanning several decades. Due to various life history characteristics and a... Read More about Making amphibian conservation more effective.
