(2019). The response of water voles Arvicola amphibius to 'displacement' when using water draw-down and habitat removal in grazing marsh habitat, lowland England

Displacement is a form of mitigation that involves the removal of habitat to relocate water voles Arvicola amphibius from <50m sections of watercourse where their presence conflicts with small-scale development works. The technique is permitted under...

Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies, https://doi.org/10.1101/860551

Abstract Synthetic sex-ratio distorters based on X-chromosome shredding are predicted to be more efficient than sterile males for population suppression of malaria mosquitoes using genetic control. X-chromosome shredding operates through the targeted...

Aedes aegypti is the most synanthropic and anthropophilic mosquito of Culicidae. This species always cohabits with humans and is extremely opportunistic. Vector dispersal is directly related to the ability of the females on successfully finding a mat... Read More about Gene expression profile of Aedes aegypti females in courtship and mating..

Using drones and sirens to elicit avoidance behaviour in white rhinoceros as an anti-poaching tactic. (2019)

Poaching fuelled by international trade in horn caused the deaths of over 1000 African rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum and Diceros bicornis) per year between 2013 and 2017. Deterrents, which act to establish avoidance behaviours in animals, have the... Read More about Using drones and sirens to elicit avoidance behaviour in white rhinoceros as an anti-poaching tactic..
