Journal Article
Scott, G. W., Turnbull, S., & Spencer, J. (2008). Promoting engagement: using species action plans to bring together students and conservation professionals. Bioscience education e-journal BEE-j, 12(1), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.3108/beej.12.5

We describe an exercise, the production of a species action plan, which utilises components of both transmission mode and experiential learning. This exercise brings together students and a professional role model to promote a stronger engagement wit...

Does defection during predator inspection affect social structure in wild shoals of guppies? (2008)
Journal Article
Thomas, P. O. R., Croft, D. P., Morrell, L., Davis, A., Faria, J. J., Dyer, J. R. G., …Krause, J. (2008). Does defection during predator inspection affect social structure in wild shoals of guppies?. Animal behaviour, 75(1), 43-53. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2007.06.004

Reciprocal altruism has been proposed as a possible mechanism for the evolution of cooperative behaviour. However, very few investigations have tested predictions of reciprocity in wild animal populations. In the current investigation we simulated de...

Components and families of components in mechatronic systems often exhibit failure characteristics that are independent of system context and repeatable across applications. In this paper, we show that it is possible to capture and reuse such pattern... Read More about A language for failure patterns and application in safety analysis.
