Article
Yoan Fourcade, Auteur ; David S. Richardson, Auteur ; Jean Secondi, AuteurThe preservation of genetic diversity is an important aspect of conservation biology. Low genetic diversity within a population can lead to inbreeding depression and a reduction in adaptive potential, which may increase extinction risk. Here we [...]

Thomas F. Johnson, Auteur ; Thomas J. Brown, Auteur ; David S. Richardson, Auteur ; Hannah L. Dugdale, AuteurTranslocations are a valuable tool within conservation, and when performed successfully can rescue species from extinction. However, to label a translocation a success, extensive post-translocation monitoring is required, ensuring the population[...]

Emma L. B. Barrett, Auteur ; Winifred Boner, Auteur ; Ellis Mulder, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, Auteur ; Simon Verhulst, Auteur ; David S. Richardson, AuteurBird populations provide excellent systems to investigate variation in longevity in the wild since individuals can often be monitored over their lifetime. A number of recent studies suggest that the dynamics of protective telomere chromosome cap[...]

Yoan Fourcade, Auteur ; David S. Richardson, Auteur ; Oskars Keišs, Auteur ; Michal Budka, Auteur ; Rhys E. Green, Auteur ; Sergei Fokin, Auteur ; Jean Secondi, AuteurUnderstanding patterns of genetic structure, gene flow and diversity across a species range is required to determine the genetic status and viability of small peripheral populations. This is especially crucial in species distributed across a lar[...]
Article
Catalina Gonzalez-Quevedo, Auteur ; Richard G. Davies, Auteur ; David S. Richardson, Auteur1. How the environment influences the transmission and prevalence of disease in a population of hosts is a key aspect of disease ecology. The role that environmental factors play in host-pathogen systems has been well studied at large scales, th[...]
Article
Kees van Oers, Auteur ; David S. Richardson, Auteur ; Stein A. Saether, Auteur ; Jan Komdeur, AuteurAvian malaria can affect survival and reproduction of their hosts. Two patterns commonly observed in birds are that females have a higher prevalence of malaria than do males and that prevalence decreases with age. The mechanisms behind these pat[...]
Article
Cas Eikenaar, Auteur ; David S. Richardson, Auteur ; Lyanne Brouwer, Auteur ; Jan Komdeur, AuteurThe distances that individuals disperse, from their natal site to the site of first breeding and between breeding sites, have important consequences for the dynamics and genetic structure of a population. Nearly all previous studies on dispersal[...]

Janske van de Crommenacker, Auteur ; Jan Komdeur, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur ; David S. Richardson, AuteurP>1. Fluctuations in the quality of the habitat in which an animal lives can have major consequences for its behaviour and physiological state. In poor-quality habitat with low food availability, metabolically intensive foraging activity is like[...]
