Assessing the impact of festival music on bat activity (2023)
Journal Article

Sound is a critical component of an animal's habitat, where it is used to glean important environmental information from their surroundings. The modification of natural soundscapes due to the global rise in anthropogenic noise pollution over recent d... Read More about Assessing the impact of festival music on bat activity.

What drives bat activity at field boundaries? (2022)
Journal Article

Field boundaries are important habitat for bats in agricultural landscapes, serving as commuting and foraging areas for many species. The goal of our study was to better understand the drivers of bat activity in agricultural landscapes to inform cons... Read More about What drives bat activity at field boundaries?.

Using camera trap bycatch data to assess habitat use and the influence of human activity on African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Kasungu National Park, Malawi (2022)
Journal Article

African elephants (Loxodonta africana) are increasingly exposed to high levels of human disturbance and are threatened by poaching and human–elephant conflict. As anthropogenic pressures continue to increase, both inside and outside protected areas,...

Lighting up our waterways: Impacts of a current mitigation strategy on Riparian bats (2022)
Journal Article

Increasing levels of artificial light at night (ALAN) are a major threat to global biodiversity and can have negative impacts on a wide variety of organisms and their ecosystems. Nocturnal species such as bats are highly vulnerable to the detrimental... Read More about Lighting up our waterways: Impacts of a current mitigation strategy on Riparian bats.

Prey availability and intraguild competition regulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of a modified large carnivore guild (2021)
Journal Article

Effective conservation management requires an understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics driving large carnivore density and resource partitioning. In African ecosystems, reduced prey populations and the loss of competing guild members, most notabl...

Interacting proteins, polymorphisms and the susceptibility of animals to SARS-CoV-2 (2021)
Journal Article

Abstract: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a world-wide problem for the human population. It is known that some animal species, such as mink, can become infected and transmit the virus. However, the susceptibility of most animals is not known. Here... Read More about Interacting proteins, polymorphisms and the susceptibility of animals to SARS-CoV-2.

Roost selection by Mauritian tomb bats (Taphozus mauritianus) in Lilongwe city, Malawi – importance of woodland for sustainable urban planning (2020)
Journal Article

Increasing urbanisation has led to a greater use of artificial structures by bats as alternative roost sites. Despite the widespread presence of bats, roost availability may restrict their distribution and abundance in urban environments. There is li...

Spatial partial identity model reveals low densities of leopard and spotted hyaena in a miombo woodland (2020)
Journal Article

Decline in global carnivore populations has led to increased demand for assessment of carnivore densities in understudied habitats. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) is used increasingly to estimate species densities, where individuals are often identi...
