Although it is an integral part of global change, most of the research addressing the effects of climate change on forests have overlooked the role of environmental pollution. Similarly, most studies investigating the effects of air pollutants on for... Read More about Strategic roadmap to assess forest vulnerability under air pollution and climate change.

Callout analysis in relation to wild birds in a tropical city: implications for urban species management (2022)
Journal Article

Urbanisation is changing landscapes at an unprecedented rate, which consequently changes species compositions. We investigate problems faced by urban birds in a neotropical city by analysing the responses made to callouts by the environmental police...

Effect of repurposed drugs on the cellular properties of childhood cancer: in vitro & in silico studies (2022)
Thesis
Begum, S. Effect of repurposed drugs on the cellular properties of childhood cancer: in vitro & in silico studies. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Rhabdoid tumours (RT) are a rare form of childhood cancer which is known to affect infants under the age of 1 year. Survival rate is a major problem with only 31% of those who are diagnosed living to 1 years old. In this research extracranial RT from...

Owing to domestication, dog behaviour differs from wolf behaviour, which should also affect time budgets. At the Wolf Science Center, wolves and mongrel dogs are raised and kept in a similar way; thus, it is an ideal place to compare the time budgets...
