Thermal sensitivity of feeding and burrowing activity of an invasive crayfish in UK waters (2020)
Journal Article
Rodríguez Valido, C. A., Johnson, M. F., Dugdale, S. J., Cutts, V., Fell, H. G., Higgins, E. A., …Algar, A. C. (2021). Thermal sensitivity of feeding and burrowing activity of an invasive crayfish in UK waters. Ecohydrology, 14(1), Article e2258. https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.2258

Climate change and invasive species are among the biggest threats to global biodiversity and ecosystem function. Although the individual impacts of climate change and invasive species are commonly assessed, we know far less about how a changing clima...

Long-Term Changes in Endemic Threshold Populations for Pertussis in England and Wales: A Spatiotemporal Analysis of Lancashire and South Wales, 1940-69 (2020)
Journal Article
Munro, A. D., Smallman-Raynor, M., & Algar, A. C. (2021). Long-Term Changes in Endemic Threshold Populations for Pertussis in England and Wales: A Spatiotemporal Analysis of Lancashire and South Wales, 1940-69. Social Science and Medicine, 288, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2020.113295

Metapopulation dynamics play a critical role in driving endemic persistence and transmission of childhood infections. The endemic threshold concept, also referred to as critical community size (CCS), is a key example and is defined as the minimumpopu...

Hurricane effects on Neotropical lizards span geographic and phylogenetic scales (2020)
Journal Article
Donihue, C. M., Kowaleski, A. M., Losos, J. B., Algar, A. C., Baeckens, S., Buchkowski, R. W., …Herrel, A. (2020). Hurricane effects on Neotropical lizards span geographic and phylogenetic scales. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 117(19), 10429-10434. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2000801117

Extreme climate events such as droughts, cold snaps, and hurricanes can be powerful agents of natural selection, producing acute selective pressures very different from the everyday pressures acting on organisms. However, it remains unknown whether t... Read More about Hurricane effects on Neotropical lizards span geographic and phylogenetic scales.
