Journal ArticleDOI
Does farm-scale habitat composition predict pest-bird numbers and distribution?
TL;DR: Either habitat management or the reduction of key seed resources could potentially control pest-bird numbers, but habitat management is likely to have adverse consequences for other important functions (such as the shelter and biodiversity benefits of shelterbelts), and any form of bird control applied at the farm scale is unlikely to be effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dynamics of nematode transmission in the red grouse (Lagopus lagopus scoticus): studies on the recovery of Trichostrongylus tenuis larvae from vegetation
TL;DR: Heather plants were exposed to T. tenuis larvae in the laboratory and kept under suitable conditions for larval migration, and significantly more larvae were recovered from heather than from either of the control plants.

Wildlife Disease Ecology:Linking Theory to Data and Application
TL;DR: This book describes key studies that have driven the understanding of the ecology and evolution of wildlife diseases, through the development and testing of important epidemiological and evolutionary theories.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of multiple wildlife hosts in the persistence and spread of bovine tuberculosis in New Zealand
TL;DR: For modelled forest habitats, 15 years of effective possum control was predicted to eradicate TB from the possum-deer-pig host community, indicating the current focus on Possum-only control is appropriate for such areas, and some estimation of this transmission parameter is required to enable managers to assess if multi-host disease dynamics are important for their TB control programmes.
