Journal Article
Dunn, J. C., Hamer, K. C., Morris, A. J., Grice, P. V., Smith, M., Corton, C., Oliver, K., Skelton, J., Betteridge, E., Dolucan, J., Quail, M. A., McCarthy, S. A., Uliano-Silva, M., Howe, K., Torrance, J., Chow, W., Pelan, S., Sims, Y., Challis, R., Threlfall, J., …Blaxter, M. (2021). The genome sequence of the European turtle dove, Streptopelia turtur Linnaeus 1758. Wellcome Open Research, 6, Article 191. https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.17060.1

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Streptopelia turtur (the European turtle dove; Chordata; Aves; Columbidae). The genome sequence is 1.18 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 35 chromosomal pseudomol... Read More about The genome sequence of the European turtle dove, Streptopelia turtur Linnaeus 1758.

A., Howe, K., Torrance, J., Wood, J., Pelan, S., Sims, Y., Challis, R., Threlfall, J., Mead, D., & Blaxter, M. (2021). The genome sequence of the European robin, Erithacus rubecula Linnaeus 1758. Wellcome Open Research, 6, Article 172. https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.16988.1

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Erithacus rubecula (the European robin; Chordata; Aves; Passeriformes; Turdidae). The genome sequence is 1.09 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 36 chromosomal pse... Read More about The genome sequence of the European robin, Erithacus rubecula Linnaeus 1758.

Effects of seed-rich habitat provision on territory density, home range and breeding performance of European Turtle Doves Streptopelia turtur (2020)
Journal Article
DUNN, J. C., MORRIS, A. J., GRICE, P. V., & PEACH, W. J. (2021). Effects of seed-rich habitat provision on territory density, home range and breeding performance of European Turtle Doves Streptopelia turtur. Bird Conservation International, 31(4), 620-639. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0959270920000635

Conservation measures providing food-rich habitats through agri-environment schemes (AES) have the potential to affect the demography and local abundance of species limited by food availability. The European Turtle Dove Streptopelia turtur is one of...

Using long-term datasets to assess the impacts of dietary exposure to neonicotinoids on farmland bird populations in England (2019)
Journal Article
Lennon, R. J., Isaac, N. J. B., Shore, R. F., Peach, W. J., Dunn, J. C., Pereira, M. G., Arnold, K. E., Garthwaite, D., & Brown, C. D. (2019). Using long-term datasets to assess the impacts of dietary exposure to neonicotinoids on farmland bird populations in England. PloS one, 14(10), Article e0223093. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0223093

Over the last 20 years, a new group of systemic insecticides–the neonicotinoids—has gained prominence in arable systems, and their application globally has risen year on year. Previous modelling studies using long-term data have suggested that neonic...
