Journal Article
Gilbert, W. H., & Rushton, J. (2016). Incentive Perception in Livestock Disease Control. Journal of Agricultural Economics, https://doi.org/10.1111/1477-9552.12168

The economic incentives facing people making decisions about infectious disease control have been given due theoretical consideration in the literature, based on principles of economic rationality. Such deductive models provide important tools for ge... Read More about Incentive Perception in Livestock Disease Control.

Accurate detection of infection with Mycobacterium bovis in live badgers would enable targeted tuberculosis control. Practical challenges in sampling wild badger populations mean that diagnosis of infection at the group (rather than the individual) l...

Beyond aggression: Androgen-receptor blockade modulates social interaction in wild meerkats (2016)
Journal Article
DelBarco-Trillo, J., Greene, L. K., Goncalves, I. B., Fenkes, M., Wisse, J. H., Drewe, J. A., Manser, M. B., Clutton-Brock, T., & Drea, C. M. (2016). Beyond aggression: Androgen-receptor blockade modulates social interaction in wild meerkats. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yhbeh.2015.11.001

In male vertebrates, androgens are inextricably linked to reproduction, social dominance, and aggression, often at the cost of paternal investment or prosociality. Testosterone is invoked to explain rank-related reproductive differences, but its role... Read More about Beyond aggression: Androgen-receptor blockade modulates social interaction in wild meerkats.
