Journal ArticleDOI
Farming and the Fate of Wild Nature
Rhys E. Green,Rhys E. Green,Stephen J. Cornell,Stephen J. Cornell,Jörn P. W. Scharlemann,Jörn P. W. Scharlemann,Andrew Balmford,Andrew Balmford +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the best type of farming for species persistence depends on the demand for agricultural products and on how the population densities of different species on farmland change with agricultural yield, and that high-yield farming may allow more species to persist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the 2001 UK foot and mouth epidemic: stochastic dispersal in a heterogeneous landscape
Matthew James Keeling,Mark E. J. Woolhouse,Darren J. Shaw,Louise Matthews,Margo Chase-Topping,Daniel T. Haydon,Stephen J. Cornell,Jens Kappey,John W. Wilesmith,Bryan T. Grenfell +9 more
TL;DR: An individual farm–based stochastic model of the current UK epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease reveals the infection dynamics at an unusually high spatiotemporal resolution, and shows that the spatial distribution, size, and species composition of farms all influence the observed pattern and regional variability of outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wildlife-friendly oil palm plantations fail to protect biodiversity effectively
David Edwards,Jenny A. Hodgson,Keith C. Hamer,Simon L. Mitchell,Abdul Hamid Ahmad,Stephen J. Cornell,David S. Wilcove +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the abundance and diversity of birds within oil palm plantations, fragments, and contiguous forest were investigated, and the authors reported that the abundance of imperiled birds was 60 times lower in fragments and 200 times higher in oil palm than in contiguous forest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protracted speciation revitalizes the neutral theory of biodiversity
TL;DR: It is shown that it is both necessary and straightforward to incorporate protracted speciation in future studies of neutral models, and argued that non-neutral models should also model speciation as a gradual process rather than an instantaneous one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistence exponents for fluctuating interfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the decay of the first return probability of an interface to its initial height is analyzed for a large class of linear Langevin equations, where the models are parametrized by the dynamic roughness exponent.
