Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the natural environment in the emergence of antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria
Elizabeth M. H. Wellington,Alistair B.A. Boxall,Paul C. Cross,Edward J. Feil,William H. Gaze,Peter M. Hawkey,Peter M. Hawkey,Ashley S. Johnson-Rollings,Davey L. Jones,Nick Lee,Wilfred Otten,Christopher M. Thomas,A. Prysor Williams +12 more
TL;DR: Although the economics of the pharmaceutical industry continue to restrict investment in novel biomedical responses, action must be taken to avoid the conjunction of factors that promote evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
LoCoH: Nonparameteric Kernel Methods for Constructing Home Ranges and Utilization Distributions
Wayne M. Getz,Wayne M. Getz,Scott Fortmann-Roe,Paul C. Cross,Andrew J. Lyons,Sadie J. Ryan,Christopher C. Wilmers +6 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that LoCoH methods are superior to parametric kernel methods in estimating areas used by animals, excluding unused areas (holes) and, generally, in constructing UDs and HRs arising from the movement of animals influenced by hard boundaries and irregular structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Should we expect population thresholds for wildlife disease
James O. Lloyd-Smith,Paul C. Cross,Paul C. Cross,Cheryl J. Briggs,Matthew P. Daugherty,Wayne M. Getz,Wayne M. Getz,John Latto,María S. Sánchez,Adam B. Smith,Andrea Swei +10 more
TL;DR: It is seen that, by their nature, these thresholds are rarely abrupt and always difficult to measure, and important facets of wildlife ecology are neglected by current theories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the assertion that ‘local food is best’: the challenges of an evidence-based approach
Gareth Edwards-Jones,Llorenç Milà i Canals,Natalia Hounsome,Mónica Truninger,Georgia R. Koerber,Barry Hounsome,Paul C. Cross,Elizabeth H. York,Almudena Hospido,Katharina Plassmann,Ian Harris,Rhiannon Tudor Edwards,Graham Day,A. Deri Tomos,Sarah J Cowell,David L. Jones +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conclude that food miles are a poor indicator of the environmental and ethical impacts of food production, and that only through combining spatially explicit life cycle assessment with analysis of social issues can the benefits of local food be assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wildlife tuberculosis in South African conservation areas: implications and challenges.
Anita Luise Michel,Roy G. Bengis,D.F. Keet,Markus Hofmeyr,L.-M. de Klerk,Paul C. Cross,Anna E. Jolles,Dave Cooper,Ian J. Whyte,Peter Buss,Jacques Godfroid +10 more
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that 10 other small and large mammalian species, including large predators, are spillover hosts, and the risk of spillover infection to neighboring communal cattle raises concerns about human health at the wildlife-livestock-human interface.
