Increased efficiency in the second-hand tire trade provides opportunity for dengue control (2017)
Journal Article
Pliego Pliego, E., Velázquez-Castro, J., Eichhorn, M. P., & Fraguela Collar, A. (2018). Increased efficiency in the second-hand tire trade provides opportunity for dengue control. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 437, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2017.10.025

Dengue fever is increasing in geographical range, spread by invasion of its vector mosquitoes. The trade in second-hand tires has been implicated as a factor in this process because they act as mobile reservoirs of mosquito eggs and larvae. Regional...

Relative ranges of mating and dispersal modulate Allee thresholds in sessile species (2017)
Journal Article
Velazquez-Castro, J., & Eichhorn, M. P. (2017). Relative ranges of mating and dispersal modulate Allee thresholds in sessile species. Ecological Modelling, 359, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2017.05.025

Sessile organisms, including plants and benthic macrofauna, are often restricted in the ranges over which they are able to reproduce and disperse. This leads to spatial patterning within populations, causing the effective population density around ea...

Effects of deer on woodland structure revealed through terrestrial laser scanning (2017)
Journal Article
Eichhorn, M. P., Ryding, J., Smith, M. J., Gil, R. M., Siriwardena, G. M., & Fuller, R. J. (2017). Effects of deer on woodland structure revealed through terrestrial laser scanning. Journal of Applied Ecology, 54(6), 1615-1626. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.12902

1. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) captures the three-dimensional structure of habitats. Compared to traditional methods of forest mensuration, it allows quantification of structure at increased resolution, and the derivation of novel metrics with w...
