Automatic acoustic detection of birds through deep learning : the first bird audio detection challenge (2018)
Journal Article

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...

Radiocaesium transfer and radiation exposure of frogs in Fukushima Prefecture (2018)
Journal Article
Tagami, K., Uchida, S., Wood, M., & Beresford, N. (2018). Radiocaesium transfer and radiation exposure of frogs in Fukushima Prefecture. Scientific reports, 8(1), 10662. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-28866-0

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

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.

Radionuclide transfer to wildlife at a 'reference site' in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and resultant radiation exposures (2018)
Journal Article
Beresford, N., Barnett, C., Gashchak, S., Maksimenko, A., Guliaichenko, E., Wood, M., & Izquierdo, M. (2020). Radionuclide transfer to wildlife at a 'reference site' in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and resultant radiation exposures. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 211, 105661. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2018.02.007

This study addresses a significant data deficiency in the developing environmental protection framework of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, namely a lack of radionuclide transfer data for some of the Reference Animals and Plan...
