New paper: Spatial and temporal predictions of inter-decadal trends in Indian Ocean whale sharks
A new paper involving Environment Institute member Corey Bradshaw has recently been published in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series. The paper, titled Spatial and temporal predictions of inter-decadal trends in Indian Ocean whale sharks, examines the movement patterns of whale sharks in the Indian Ocean and the effect of climate variations on sightings. ABSTRACT […]

New Paper: Avoiding a biodiversity collapse in tropical forest areas
Please visit senior author Corey Bradshaw’s blog A new paper titled ‘Averting a biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas‘ investigates the plight of the protected tropical reserves around the planet. The researchers argue that while most tropical reserves were helping with protection of their forest, approximately half were struggling to maintain their original biodiversity. […]
